The first train in Malaysia took its schedule on 1 June 1885. [9] By 1900, an English language school, [10] a newspaper, [11] and the Perak Museum (the oldest in Malaysia) had been established.

In 1883, Malaysia was the largest tin producer in the world. In 1885, 12.8 km of railway was constructed connecting Taiping to Port Weld in Perak. The first trunk road in Peninsular Malaysia was constructed passing through major mining towns in Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan in which it was mostly used to transport tin from mines to ports.
