TRENGGANU
The Malays are ingenious and industrious, and excel as boat-builders and fishermen. They also engage in silk weaving, net making, and iron, brass and nickel manufacturing.
The revenue of the State for the year 1934 A.D. amounted to $1,699,319 and the expenditure to $1,405,157, the corresponding figures being as above.
By an agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Trengganu, dated 24th May, 1919, the then Sultan agreed to receive a British Adviser in place of an Agent, whose advice must be asked and acted upon in all matters affecting the general administration of the country.
The indebtedness of the State at the end of 1934 stood at $4,060,000. This sum represents $3,600,000 principal and $460,000 arrears of interest owed to the Government of the Straits Settlements. The State obtained a loan of $1,000,000 development purposes, and this was followed by further loans of $1,000,000 in 1925, $1,500,000 in 1928, $100,000 in 1932. These have enabled the State (by resumption of concessions) to recover control of important natural resources, and to incur large expenditure on essential works of development-surveys, machinery, buildings and roads.
The reigning Sultan is His Highness Sir Suleiman Badru'l-alam Shah, K.C.M.G. ibni almerhum Sultan Zainalabidin. He was installed Sultan on 26th May, 1920 and he governs the State in consultation with his State Council.
