FEDERATED MALAY STATES
The Protected States comprise four Residencies, namely, Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Pahang. These have been federated, the federation taking effect from the 1st July, 1896, and the administration is presided over by a British Officer styled the Chief Secretary to Government, who is subject to the High Commissioner to the Malay States, who is also Governor of the Straits Settlements. Each State has its own Resident and the native rulers retain their titles and dignity. The Federal Offices are at Kuala Lumpur, Selangor. The Federal Council was inaugurated on 10th December, 1909,
The record of these States is one of progress and prosperity. The revenue for 1921 was $54,449,568 (£6,352,450), and the expenditure $114,386,546 (£13,345,097). The assets on December 31st, 1921, stood at $21,832,715 (£2,547,150). These States have 1,022 miles of railway in the Malay Peninsula (paid for out of current revenue), yielding good income; they have 2,446 miles of metalled roads, 177 miles of unmetalled roads, 1,817 miles of bridle roads and paths; and the wire mileage of telegraphs and telephones is 16,369 (of which 3,245 miles of wire is in underground cables).
