Fact is.
Both are korek

Kedah was a sovereign state when they lease Penang
Kedah wasn't a sovereign state after leasing Penang.

Kedah lease Penang with an agreement that Brits help them defend themselves again Siam. But when Siam attacks, Brits join Siam instead. Siam get Kedah & Brits get seberang Prai.

Thought it doesn't take long before Brits screw Siam and took over the 4 states eventually when they heard wind that Siam want to sell Langkawi to Germany.

Kedah was split into 6 then if not mistaken. 1 becum Perlis the other get annex into upper Perak, satun stay under Siam till today.
