Take the following as truth: That changed in 1786, when the Sultan of Kedah granted company representative Francis Light rights to the island of Penang and the strip of mainland coast opposite Province Wellesley (now Seberang Perai) as a counterweight to the pressing demands of the neighboring Thais and Burmese.
Then the following statement: "That changed in 1786 when the Sultan of Kedah gave Francis Light rights to the island of Penang and a strip of mainland coast in order to counter the demands of the Thais and Burmese." is true, false, or inconclusive?
