Perlis – Ikan Bakar

THE northern state of Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia, with a population somewhere in the region of 250,000. Perlis borders Thailand in the north and Kedah in the south.

In the early 19th century, Perlis was a part of Kedah, but fell under Siamese rule in the mid-19th century, before the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 forced Siam to give Perlis to the British rulers of the time.
