Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perlis, known as “Perlis Indera Kayangan,” is the smallest state in Malaysia<\/a>. The name “Perlis” is believed to originate from a Thai phrase “Phrao Loi” which means “mangoes fallen to the ground,” highlighting the abundance of mango trees in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated at the northernmost tip of Peninsular Malaysia<\/a>, Perlis shares its northern border with Thailand’s Satun Province. To its south lies the Malaysian state of Kedah<\/a>. Characterized by paddy fields and rubber plantations, Perlis boasts a serene, rural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Historically, Perlis was a part of the Kedah Sultanate. However, due to political conflicts and Siamese intervention in the early 19th century, Perlis was carved out as a separate vassal state under Siamese influence. It was handed over to the British under the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 and later integrated into the Malayan Union and subsequently the Federation of Malaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
