TRENGGANU

i

With a territory of about 5,050 square miles, an extensive sea-board, and a population at the 1931 census of 179,789, Trengganu is the least developed of all the Malay States. It lies between latitude 3°53" and 5°51′′ North latitude and the meridians of 102° 23′ and 103° 30′ East Longitude. The capital is Kuala Trengganu situated on both banks of the mouth of the Trengganu River, with a population of 13,972.

There are 145 miles of road open to traffic.

Communication with the interior is by good native paths and rivers. The latter, however, are not navigable beyond a certain point from the sea owing to rapids. There are no railways, (except for 3 light railways on Mines)....

A sixty six-mile trunk road from Kuala Trengganu to the Northern boundary of the State has been completed and opened to traffic.

Regular steamship communication is maintained with Singapore and Bangkok, and locally built motor-boats maintain a passenger service along the› Trengganu

coast.

During the North-East Monsoon, from November till March, the weather is at times such as to close the coast to shipping for short periods. The rainfall and temperature conditions are similar to those in the other Malay States.

Telegraph communication was established with Singapore in 1922. Telegraph offices are at Kuala Trengganu, Kretai, Dungun, Kemaman, and Besut. There are small local telephone exchanges at Kuala Trengganu, Kemaman and Besut.

The total net value of trade of the State in 1935, was $12,946,658 as against $9,366,758 in 1934.
