Following this, Penang and Seberang Perai were unambiguously recognised as a sovereign state in several agreements made between the state of Kedah and the British which includes the Federation Agreement of Malaya 1948, the Federation Agreement of Malaya 1957, and the Agreement between the British Government and the State of Kedah in 1923, as reported by Malaysiakini.
Penang was formerly part of the Malay Sultanate of Kedah until the arrival of the British. It was renowned at the time as a pirate harbour. Later, Sultan Abdullah of Kedah organised an army to drive out the Dutch and the British in 1790 after learning that the British would not provide protection. Nearly 200 years later, the Penang State Government continues to give the Sultan of Kedah an annual payment of RM18,800.00.
