TRENGGANU
The Malays are ingenious and industrious, and excel as boat-builders and fishermen. They also engage in silk weaving, net making, and iron, brass and nickel manufacturing.
The revenue of the State for the year 1935 A.D. amounted to $2,196,949 and the expenditure to $2,038,841 the corresponding figures being as above.
By an agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Trengganu, dated 24th May, 1919, the then Sultan 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.
The indebtedness of the State at the end of 1935 stood at $3,600,000. The State obtained a loan of $1,000,000 from the Government of Straits Settlement for development purposes, and this was followed by further loans of $1,000,000 in 1925, $1,500,000 in 1928, $100,000 in 1932. These have enabled the State (by resumption of concessions) to recover control of important natural resources, and to incur large expenditure on essential works of development-surveys, machinery, buildings and roads.
