In dealing with the Malays the chief difficulty bequeathed to the colonial government of the Straits Settlements by the East India Company was the relation between the British patches of directly governed territory and the independent Malay states which sur- rounded them. It has been already pointed out that the East India Company's governors and residents entered into negotations with many of these states for the purpose of suppressing piracy. There had been more than one petty war, and it was... felt to be highly de- sirable that definite relations should be established. This was not done by annexation. The example of India had shown that it was both more economical and more consistent with the legitimate na- tional aspirations of the people, to recognize and control native rulers than to abolish them altogether and annex their territories. The example of Dalhousie's government of India has had a whole- H. M. Stephens 266 some effect on English policyjn the Malay Peninsula. The gov- ernor who first attempted to deal with the problem of the Malay native states as a connected whole was Sir Andrew Clarke, who in the year 1874 signed treaties with the Malay states of Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong by which the rulers of those states entered into relations with the government of the Straits Settlements, not unlike those entered into by the feudatory states with the gov- ernment of India, binding each native ruler to accept the presence of a British Resident who should advise the ruler as to his duties.
