KEDAH
Situated on the north-west coast of the Peninsula, between the parallels of 5 deg. 50 min. and 6 deg. 40 min. North and the meridians of 99 deg. 40 min. and 100 deg. 55 min. E., Kedah has an area of about 3,648 square miles. In the north and east the country is hilly, but the plains along the coast are well-watered and fertile. In the northern part of the State the chief agricultural produce is rice. In the southern part the rubber industry has grown to large dimensions. The country is favourable for cat- tle raising.
The State came under British protection in 1909, and since then great progress has been made. Road making, bridge building and canal extension are features of the present régime, and the railway from Bukit Mertajam, in Province Wellesley, has been extended through Alor Star, the capital of Kedah, to connect with the Siamese railways on the frontier of Perlis. This connection has been completed and regular railway communication between Singapore and Bangkok has been established. The money order system has been introduced and the telegraph and telephone systems have been extended. The telephone system is connected with Penang. The towns of Alor Star, Sungei Patani and Kulim are lighted by electricity.
At the 1921 census the population was 338,544, of whom 237,043 were Malays, 59,403 Chinese, 33,019 Indians and 300 Europeans.
