This state occupies the southern portion of the Malayan Peninsula, and its capital, called Bharu (New Johore) is situated on the Old Strait, or Silat Tambrau, which divides the island of Singapore from Johor territory. It has an area of about 9,000 square miles, and an estimated population of 200,000, of whom 25,000 are Malays, 150,000 Chinese, and 15,000 Javanese. The capital contains some 15,000 inhabitants. "The state is ruled by a Sultan, who is independent, but under the protection of the British Government so far as external policy is concerned. Under Sultan Abubakar's liberal rule the country has made great progress in material prosperity, and its orderly condition has attracted a good deal of European capital, invested in planting enterprises.
