THE YEAR 1933 IN THE FEDERATED MALAY STATES AND STRAITS SETTLEMENTS

Abstract

THE programme of retrenchment referred to in last year's report was practically completed, with the result that the gross expenditure has been reduced to a figure well within the limit set by the Retrenchment Committee. Actually, gross expenditure was £128,121 (over 45 per cent.) less than in 1930, the peak year in expenditure.
