The state of Perak Darul Ridzuan (Perak, meaning 'Silver' in Malay) was once the epicenter of the global tin trade. While the tin market collapsed in the 1980s, ending the boom era, its relics remain, such as the Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredger No. 5, the last operational tin dredge in the region, which now serves as a museum.
