TRENGGANU

With a territory of about 6,000 square miles, an extensive sea-board, and a popula- tion of 146,920 souls, Trengganu, is the least developed of all the Native States. The capital is Kuala Trengganu, where the British Agent was the only foreign resident when the Census was taken in 1911. It has a population of 13,991,

Trengganu lies between latitudes 430′ and 545 North and longitude 102/15′ and 103:30' East. As there are no roads or railways or telegraphs and the rivers are not navigable beyond a certain point from the sea owing to rapids, it may be judged that there is not much communication with the interior, so that the population is restricted to the sea-board and villages along the navigable portions of the rivers. They are an ingenious and, for Malays, industrious people, and excel as boatbuilders and fishermen. They also engage in silk and cotton weaving and iron, brass and nickel manufactures. In 1910, 6,564 pikuls of dried fish were exported, 7,274 pikuls of black pepper, and 5,912 piculs of tin-ore. A bright future is predicted for Trengganu as a mining country, tin, wolfram and gold having been found, while traces of natural oil are reported near Dungun in the north-east.

The principal imports in 1910 were: Rice, cotton piece goods, opium, sugar, sarongs, raw silk, tobacco and cigarettes, and kerosene; and exports: tin-ore, fish, copra, padi and black pepper. Revenue is raised by means of "farms" and duties on all kinds of exports.

Regular steamship communication is maintained with Singapore. and temperature conditions are similar to those in the other Malay States.
