+//"Mr. Whitham first came to the Federated Malay States from Ceylon in 1906, and was entrusted with the development of Ayer Kuning Estate, a block of jungle land belonging to Highlands and Lowlands Para Rubber Co., Ltd., which now forms the Midlands division of Highlands and Lowlands and the Ayer Kuning (F.M.S.) Rubber Co., Ltd. The district was unhealthy when Mr. Whitham went there and he was confronted with the difficulties usually attendant upon clearing jungle in this country, but with such vigour and determination did he face his work that, at the end of three years, he had nearly 3,000 acres opened, a planting record we should imagine, seldom equalled, and one with which his name deserves to be always associated. The arduous nature of the work he had done had, however, undermined his health, and in 1909 he was invalided Home."// (Pinang Gazette and Straits Chronicle, 26 November 1912, Page 6: {{ :akhbar:pinangazette19121126-1-2-30.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/pinangazette19121126-1.2.30|"DEATH OF MR.
