MALACCA
The settlement of Malacca excites more interest from a historical point of view than either of its sister towns. Commercially, it fell completely to the rear after the establishment of Penang and Singapore, but the advent of the rubber industry in 1906 has converted the settlement into a flourishing agricultural province with a revenue nearly treble its expenditure. Originally settled by the Portuguese in 1511, it was for many years the one foreign entrepot in the East, and the fact that it has given its name to the Peninsula and that it was the cradle of Anglo-Chinese study attest its former importance. Its area is embraced by boundaries some 42 miles in length, with a breadth of from 8 to 25 miles. It is governed by a Resident in subordination to Singapore.
