The Perak War (1875–1876) took place between British and local forces in Perak, a state in northwestern Malaysia. The sultan of Lower Perak and other local chiefs attempted to end foreign influence in the region and remove the British administrator James W. W. Birch. Following the killing of Birch in 1875, British forces defeated the followers of Lela Pandak Lam.
