Default British South Asian Volunteers during the XIX Century

Can anyone help me finding any information about the dress of some British South-Asian corps? I have been seraching for a long time, and still haven't found anything.
The following corps are the ones whose uniforms I'd like to know more:

Singapore Volunteer Infantry
Singapore Volunteer Corps
Singapore Volunteer Rifles (Specially their 1857 Uniform)
Straits Settlements Police
Penang Volunteers

If any of you could help, I'd be immensily grateful.

Try "A History of the Singapore Volunteer Corps 1854-1937 , being also an Historical Outline of Volunteering in Malaya" - by Captain TM "Winsley SVC, published in 1938 (Singapore).

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunally, this book is not available in amazon, making it hard for be to get it. Doea anyone has any other idea about those uniforms?

You chaps never cease to amaze me with the arcane information that you can dredge up on any subject. My specialist subject would probably be 'What I done on me holiday'.
