Manjung

Manjung lies on the western Malay coast near the Dinding and Beruas rivers. Malay historical traditions remember Manjung and Beruas as old centres of power in this riverine country. The estuaries opened onto the Strait of Malacca, while the rivers reached inland through forested land. Dutch records from the seventeenth century mention the Dinding region, showing its place in the coastal world encountered by merchants from Malacca.

The later city of Ipoh lies here.
