Perak

Perak Flag & Coat of Arms

Perak, with the richest alluvial deposits of tin in the world, was one of the jewels of the British Empire.  It is situated on the west of the Malaysian Peninsula.  It had a very troubled history.  The Dutch attempted to control the state in the 17th and 18th centuries.  The British assisted the state against attempts by Siam to annex Perak.  Perak asked for further British assistance and even though one of the British residents was assassinated in 1875, a new British ruler was installed and this resident system continued until the Malayan Union was established in 1948 and Perak gained independence from the British in 1957 and in 1963 became part of Malaysia.

The first stamps of Perak were stamps of the Straits Settlements overprinted “PERAK”
