PAHANG
The State of Pahang lies between Trengganu and Johore, and extends along the eastern side of the peninsula from 2 deg. 40 min. to 4 deg. 35 min. N., its coast line being about 130 miles in length. The area of the State is estimated at 14,300 square miles, and ita principal river, which drains a large extent of country, is known by the same name. The river Pahang is, however, owing to its shallowness, navigable for small craft only. The country is sparsely populated, there being, according to the census of 1911, 118,708 inhabitants, of whom 87,106 were Malays and 24,287 Chinese. The population was estimated at 140,000 at the end of 1917.
The capital of the State is Kuala Lipis, situated at the mouth of the Lipis river, here is also the seat of Government. The State is under British protection, and in August, 1888, the Sultan, acting under the advice of the Sultan of Johore, applied for a British Resident to assist in the administration of the country, which request. was acceded to in October of that year.
