About Perak
Perak is one of the states in Malaysia, located on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula along the Strait of Malacca. Perak ranks as the second-largest state on the Malay Peninsula and the fourth largest in all of Malaysia.
The terrain of Perak is shaped by eruptive masses, giving rise to its hills and mountain ranges. To the east, the Titiwangsa Range marks Perak's border, and its highest point, Mount Korbu, reaching 2,183 meters (7,162 feet), is situated near the Kinta district, near the Kelantan state border. Perak also features other mountain ranges such as the Bintang Mountains and the Kledang Range. Much of the plains are covered by alluvial deposits, with occasional sedimentary rock outcrops.
Perak is situated in a tropical region characterized by a typical equatorial climate that is usually hot, humid, and experiences consistent rainfall throughout the year. Temperatures typically range from 24 to 32°C (75 to 90°F), and humidity levels often exceed 80%. April and June mark the shift between these monsoon seasons. During the northeast monsoon, heavy rainfall is common, especially in the upper regions of Hulu Perak. While the Kinta Valley sees limited impact from the southwest monsoon, coastal areas in southern Perak occasionally witness thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong gusty winds during the early morning hours.
In Perak, the residents are proficient in two primary languages. Malay serves as the national language, while English enjoys widespread usage and communication among the locals.
