Intan diamonds is unqiue to the South East Asia region. Its
history began in the 1800s.
In the 1826, there was a group of terrorites which came under the control
of the British - the Straits Settlements. It consisted of four settlements,
namely Malacca, Dinding, Penang and Singapore. Along the way, the Chinese
traders came and married the ethnic Malays. Their descendants are known as
Peranakans.
