Summary "Het settlement Malakka en het sultanaat Perak" by F. J. Agassis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the economic significance of Malacca and the Sultanate of Perak, detailing their natural resources and their historical context as important trade locations in Southeast Asia. It delves into the historical transitions of power and the colonial exploitation of these regions, highlighting the impact of European trade and settlement. In this book, Agassis elaborates on the bustling trade and agricultural activities in Malacca, including the cultivation of rubber and the mining of tin, which became significant economic drivers in the region. He notes the city's past glory and its decline due to European colonialism while portraying the emergence of Perak as a vital agricultural and mining area. The author vividly describes the diverse local populations, the natural beauty of the landscape, and the struggles of indigenous workers alongside Chinese immigrants in the mining industry. Overall, the book paints a complex picture of the economic landscape shaped by colonial endeavors and the inherent wealth of Malacca and Perak during a transformative period in their histories.
