The Federated Lalay States in 1909 were divided into Coastal and "on-Coastal areas. In the former the same systems existed in the Straits Settlements was established. In the latter, which were largely in the hands of fermers, only raw opium might be imported and the manufacture and sale of chandu were in the hands of the farmer or of
licensed persons. Since the 1st of January 1911 how- ever the system in force in the Straits Settlements has been extended not only over the whole of the Federated alay States but over all the other protected States in the Peninsula with the exception of Kelantan and Trengganu where it has not yet been found possible to cancel the existing farms. The Government of the Straits Settlements imports, pre- pares and supplies all the chandu needed by the States.
In the Straits Settlements the Governor in Council has power to prohibit the exportation of raw opium or of chandu, or to impose limitations and conditions on exportation. At present opium may not be exported to Trengganu and Siam except when the requisition for the export is countersigned by the British Agent at Trengganu or the Siamese Consul General at Singapore as the case may be.
No restrictions on exportation from the Federated l'alay States are provided by law, since they receive their supplies from the Straits Settlements
