This chapter traces some of the conflicts and evaluates the extent to which such conflict served to obstruct Western enterprises in the agriculture and mining sectors of Pahang. The conflict between the High Commissioner and the Colonial Office with regard to agricultural initiatives was evident in the state of Pahang. Pahang was reputed in pre-modern history to be a rich source of minerals such as gold and tin. The conflict between the Colonial Office and the High Commissioner surfaced in the case involving Pahang Corporation even before the British intervened in 1888. The development of British agricultural and mining activities in the Malay States led to conflict between the Legal Adviser and the Resident. There was a conflict between the Pahang Resident, Hugh Clifford and the Raub Company, the only company mining gold on an extensive basis in Malaya. The presence of Western enterprises in the Malay States not only saw conflict among British officials but also between Malay rulers.
