What you missed when you don't read the articleIC Perak Man

This guy was, indeed, a highly regarded person in society to be afforded burial in the most difficult of places. He lived during the peak of the last Ice Age, when the sea is easily 60m below present level. He's 100m above sea level now, he's 160m above sea level then.

logo FMS coat of arms
community logo FMS coat of arms

The community logo is based on the coat of arms of the Federated Malay States? It combines all the colours from the flags of the constituent states:

  • Perak: White, yellow, black
  • Selangor: Red, yellow
  • Pahang: White, black
  • Negeri Sembilan: Yellow, red, black

The FMS coat of arms would eventually evolve into the coat of arms of Malaysia, with the FMS colours forming the core of the blazon.
