The British President, Pahang, labelled here merely Daddy has not been identified, since Arthury Furley Worthington was on leave at this date and the acting Resident has not been traced. The Federal Council had been instituted in 1909 and this photograph is of particular interest in that it shows the participants at the last such meeting.
