BRITISH DALAM PERSEMPADANAN HULU PERAK-REMAN: SATU KRONOLOGI DARI TAHUN 1882 HINGGA 1909

Abstract

The Hulu Perak and Reman border was formed by the crossing of the border between Perak and Siam as agreed by the British and Siamese in the Anglo-Siamese Treaty or the Bangkok Treaty on March 10, 1909. Before the 19th century, there were no clear and permanent boundaries in Malay States (NNM) includes two areas involved. This incident indirectly created an area of conflict between Hulu Perak and Reman, forcing Perak to seek British assistance. This article aims to see how far the British have played a role in the claim on Perak's alleged territory from 1882 to 1909 and then set a dividing line between Hulu Perak and Reman. Using a qualitative approach with a focus on library methods, the British records was used as the primary source of microfilm and official files such as the British Foreign Office (FO) and British Colonial Office(CO). In addition, secondary sources such as journals, papers and books are also referred to.This study contributes significantly to new discoveries after the one hundred years of the Anglo-Siam Treaty of 1909, especially the border problems related to the Hulu Perak and Reman and contributes to the study of borderlands in Malaysia.
