FEDERATED MALAY STATES
The Protected States comprise four Residencies, namely, Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Pahang. These have been federated since July 1st, 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 December 10th, 1909.
The record of these States is one of progress and prosperity. The revenue for 1922 was $52,494,110, and the expenditure $49,811,007. The assets on December 31st, 1921, stood at $21,832,715 (£2,547,150). These States have 1,188 miles of railway in the Malay Peninsula (paid for out of current revenue), yielding good income; they have 2,456 miles of metalled roads, 157 miles of unmetalled roads, 1,778 miles of bridle roads
