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.
The State possesses about 218 miles of roads upkept by the Public Works Department and about 150 miles of subsidiary roads upkept by the Land Offices or in a few cases farmed out. Communication with the interior is by good 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).
ï
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 ́ånd 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.
