Perlis, Malaysia
Situated in the northern region of the Malaysian peninsula, Perlis is the smallest state in the country. Its state capital is Kangar, and Arau serves as the royal capital where the Raja, the state's monarch, resides. Unique among Malaysian states, Perlis uses the title 'Raja' for its ruler. The border town of Padang Besar stands as the main gateway to and from Thailand, while the coastal fishing town of Kuala Perlis serves as a primary departure point for Langkawi, a popular duty-free island destination.
Once renowned for its border market, Nat Wang Kelian, the town of Wang Kelian was a lucrative source of income for the locals and the state. It operated as a free-flow zone since 1993, allowing Malaysian and Thai residents to move between Wang Prachan (Thailand) and Wang Kelian freely for shopping, without needing to present travel documents. However, this bustling hub was transformed into a quiet ghost town when Malaysian authorities suspended the free-flow zone following the discovery of mass graves containing trafficked illegal immigrants.

Facing the significant challenge of limited income-generating activities, Perlis has become an opposition state for the first time in its history. However, the federal government provided a financial allocation for development activities in the most recent budget. With a 2019 state budget of RM268 million, Perlis plans to initiate six high-impact projects previously on hold. The implementation of these projects is anticipated to stimulate the state's economy, paving the way for renewed growth and prosperity.
