Penghulus in Perak and Selangor: Rationalisation and decline of A Traditional Malay Office

Title: Penghulus in Perak and Selangor: Rationalisation and decline of A Traditional Malay Office
Description: Penghulus in Perak and Selangor once held important roles as local leaders, responsible for maintaining order, settling disputes, and managing village affairs. Over time, their influence declined due to colonial restructuring, the rise of modern bureaucracy, and changing political dynamics. The rationalisation process turned the role into a more administrative position, reducing its traditional authority and cultural significance.
