Perak Sultanate

"This book, with its fascinating stories seen through the heritage of the Perak sultanate and traditional Malay community in this Silver State, recognises the importance of cultural continuity and human history in nourishing social cohesion. The rich historical tapestry that's been woven in the following pages offer readers a sense of belonging - to the culture and place - and this in turn, creates the context from which one is able to understand the past and contemplate the future."
