1PHE region of Lower Perak comprises numerous mining 

 districts, which can be placed under the three follow- 

 ing headings : — 



Sungei Kinta District. 



Sungei Batang Padang District. 



Sungei Bidor District. 



The former is by far the most extensive, and includes no less 

 than six mining centres which, according to Malay custom, 

 take their names from the various main streams which drain 

 them. They are the districts of Liu Kinta, Simgei Trap, 

 Sungei Paya, Sungei Tejah, Sungei Kampar, and Simgei 

 Chendariang.
