TRENGGANU
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 allthe 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 14,000.
There are 175 miles of road open to traffic, upkept by the P. W. D. and about 170 miles of subsidiary road upkept by the Land Office. 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).
There is a sixty six-mile trunk road from Kuala Trengganu. to the Northern boundary.
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 a 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, Besut and Kuala Byang. There are small local telephone exchanges at Kuala Trengganu, Kema- man and Besut.
