TRENGGANU
1267
The revenue of the State for the year 1346 (June 30th, 1927 to June 18th, 1928) amounted to $1,402,151 and the expenditure to $1,542,404, the corresponding figures for A.H. 1345 being $1,364,105 and $1,341,410.
By an agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Trengganu, dated 24th May, 1919, His Highness Sultan Muhammad bin Zainalabidin agreed to receive a British Adviser in place of an Agent, whose advice must be asked and acted upon in all matters affecting the general administration of the country.
Two loans of $1,000,000 each for development purposes were granted by the Straits Settlements Government in 1922 and 1925. These have enabled the State (by resump- tion of concessions) to recover control of important natural resources, and to incur large expenditure on essential works of development-surveys, machinery, buildings and roads.
A third loan of $1,500,000, to be spent on road construction, was approved by the Straits Government in 1928.
Regular steamship communication is maintained with Singapore and Bangkok, and locally-built motor-boats maintain passenger service along the Trengganu coast. A programme of road construction that will connect Trengganu with Kelantan and the F.M.S. Railway system is now in hand. The rainfall and temperature conditions are similar to those in the other Malay States.
