Tin mining is one of the earliest type of mining operated in Malaysia, starting in the 1820s in Perak and in 1824 in Selangor. The development of mining industries in Malaysia attracted many Chinese immigrants who came to the state in 18th and 19th centuries to work and develop the mine field.
In Malayan economic historiography, the main props of the export economy, notably tin and rubber, have engaged the attention of scholars. As these industries were developed by immigrant labour and foreign enterprise, economic historical literature has inevitably focused in Chinese, Indian and Western communities in the plural society of colonial Malaya.
