In the Malay states: an agent or representative of the British government, formally employed to advise a sultan or other hereditary ruler, but in practice holding substantial executive power (sometimes more formally British Adviser (also British Advisor)); (later) a diplomatic officer holding this title but acting in a purely advisory capacity. Now historical.Under the Pangkor Treaty (1874) the Sultan of Perak agreed to accept a British Resident (see resident n.1 2) whose advice was to be followed in all matters except those relating to Malay customs and religion. Similar arrangements were subsequently made in other Malay states. The title of British Adviser continued in use after the formation of the Federation of Malaya in 1948, but the position had by then once again become a genuinely advisory one. The last British Advisers retired in 1957.
