| description | This paper analyses the political economy of the state of Perak under colonial
rule. It explores how Perak experienced a tremendous transformation in her
political and economic structure, one that paved the way for modernization and
rapid economic progress. This development was the direct result of Britain’s
colonial government involvement in Perak’s administration. Their intervention
broke down many traditional barriers that had long confined Perak’s economy
to a state of self-reliance, and also managed to integrate her economy with
international trends by encouraging foreign investment and utilising cheap
labour. These changes brought in new technologies and infrastructure that set
the stage for Perak to become one of the most progressive states in Malaya’s
post-independence history |
