| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This article is about the emergence of English educated figures in Kinta district and contributions in national politics. The development of English education in Kinta district, Perak from 1874 to 1957 became a major element in the emergence of English educated figures. The earnings of this article are to look at the political developments in Kinta region and the country. This article is developed as a result of the reference of primary and secondary sources of documents from the National Archives of Malaysia and Zaba Library, University of Malaya. All these documents are analyzed and evaluated and interpreted hermeneutically to avoid any elements of bias. The results found that the explosion and opening of tin mining areas in Kinta district opened opportunities for Christian missionaries and the British government to advance English education for the purpose of benefiting both parties. Overall, this article points out that the impact of English education in Kinta district led to the emergence of influential figures in the political landscape of the country and were directly involved in opposition to the Malayan Union and the establishment of popular political parties as well as participation in general elections.
