Manjung (previous official name: Dinding) is a district in the southwestern part of the state of Perak, Malaysia. The district is well known for its Pangkor Island, a major attraction in Perak and the home of the Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) Lumut Naval Base and dockyard. Since the population is increasing, residential and commercial infrastructure is being developed. Dinding was once part of the British Straits Settlements colony. Bandar Seri Manjung is the district's principal urban center while smaller towns include Lumut town, Sitiawan town, Ayer Tawar, Pantai Remis and Beruas. Other areas of some importance are Acheh Industrial Estates, Desa Manjung Raya, Manjung Point, Damai Laut Country Resort and Lumut Port. Seri Manjung town is developing as a well-planned administrative town, housing government buildings such as the Municipal Council Office, National Registration Office, Department Of Public Works Office and Immigration Office. The town also has a sports centre and shopping malls. The district is located between Sitiawan and Lumut. ==History== Prior to 1973 the district was officially called Dinding. It used to be part of the Straits Settlements then under the administration of Penang. Dindings district became part of the Pangkor Engagement (also commonly known as the Pangkor Treaty), signed by Britain and the British appointed Sultan of Perak, Sultan Abdullah, in January 1874. This agreement was signed to stop bloodshed resulting from two major events, the struggle for the throne between relatives of Perak royalty upon the death of Sultan Ali and clan wars between Ghee Hin and Hai San to grab tin mining areas in Late Colonial Taiping. The agreement required the Sultan of Perak surrender Dindings to the British, to accept a British Resident, Sir JWW Birch, and the appointment of Assistant Resident in Taiping, Captain Tristram Speedy. Sultan Ismail was to step down from the throne of Perak. During the British colonial era, Colonial Dinding comprised three main areas: Sitiawan Town, Lumut and Pangkor only. However, in 1937, after nearly 10 years under British control, the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Iskandar Alang appealed to the British colony to return Dinding because of a land shortage. The Perak Government united colonies with Bruas and coastal areas to the south. In 1973, Dinding district was given the current name Manjung. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manjung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
