PERAK
The large districts of Batang Padang and Upper Perak are as yet less developed than the rest of the State. The railway runs through the Batang Padang district six miles from the headquarter town of Tapah, for which the station, Tapah Road, is some seven hours from Penang. A metalled cart road has been completed to Grik, the headquarters of the Upper Perak district.
The population of Perak in 1921 was 599,055, as compared with 494,057 in 1911. It included in 1911, 224,586 Chinese, 239,128 Malays and other natives of the Archipelago, 130,324 natives of India, 2,047 Europeans, 973 Eurasians and 1997 other nationalities. The Chinese form the labour force of the tin mines and the Tamil natives of India the labour force of the plantations, but it is noticeable that some Tamils are now employed in the mines. The Malays engage in native cultivation and various other pursuits.
The Federated Malay States Railway runs through the whole length of Perak from Parit Buntar on the Penang (Province Wellesley) border to Tanjong Malim on the Selangor border. Branch railways run from Taiping to Port Weld and from Tapah Road to Teluk Anson, thus connecting the coast with the interior. There are about 936 miles of excellent roads, and a network of telegraph and telephone lines throughout the State.
