The Lost Sultanate ; Sulu Darul Jambangan

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you
Welcome to my blog

Today, I see an interesting news when I read the newspaper this morning. A person claimed to be the Sultan of Sulu, Datu Mudarasulail Kiram are searching for sponsorship to built the lost Palace of Sulu, the Palace of Darul Jambangan. The Sultanate of Sulu has been a very popular discussing topic especially if we studied the history of Sabah. The Sultanate of Sulu is also one of many Muslims Sultanate ruled the region. If we studied the history of Sabah, the leased agreement between the Sultan of Sulu and the North Borneo Chartered Company is widely known. At its peak, the Sultanate is among the region strongest Sultanate, able to repel Spanish attacks for many years.

Nevertheless, the once strong Sultanate has decline and currently become one of the provinces in the Philippines located in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, ARMM. The throne currently disputed by many pretenders, either by legitimate or fake heirs. Today topic will cover the Sultanate in the eastern part of Malaysia,

"The Lost Sultanate of Sulu Darul Jambangan"
Sulu, the state of beautiful flowers.

The Lost Sultanate

Unlike any other Malay Sultanate where the throne is inherited by the oldest son of the Sultan, the Sulu Throne have similarities with the Perak Succession, where the throne is share by Two Royal Families, The Heir and The Successor (Pewaris dan Penyambung).

1. The First Heir (Decendant of Sultan Azimuddin / Alimuddin I ibni Sultan Badaruddin I )consist of Kiram Family and Shakiraullah Family.
2. The Second Successor. (decendant of Sultan Bantilan Muizzuddin)
   known as Maharaja Adinda family.

The existence of this two successor are depicted in the Sulu’s Flag :-

Sultan Jamalul Kiram II

The last Sultan of Sulu Darul Jambangan was Sultan Jamalul Kiram II. After the death of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II in 1936, the throne supposed be passed to the Maharaja Adinda Family. But, the Sultan Mawallil Wasit (younger brother of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II) ascends the throne instead. Sultan Mawallil Wasit died after 6 months due to poisoning. On 20th September 1937 memorandum, The Philippines Government announces that they will not recognize any heirs after Sultan Jamalul Kiram II as the Sultan of Sulu.

As for today, there is no legitimate Sultan of Sulu. And to make the matter worse, there are officially 97 individuals proclaimed themselves as the Sultan of Sulu and they are scattered all around Sulu and Sabah. Not to mention, the Sulu Datukship is also been given to many individuals especially in Malaysia.

Currently, the Pretender to the throne is held by Datu Ali Kuyung. It is agreed until all the self-proclaim Sultan of Sulu convened and proclaimed one most suitable heir as the Sultan of Sulu according to the Sulu Royal Institution, other heirs of the royal family are forbidden to used the title HRH The Sultan of Sulu. Datu Ali Kuyung also mark a new history to the Sulu Royal Family as he manage to unite the members of the royal family. And now, only time will determine the fate of the Sultanate of Sulu.

Welcome to my blog.

Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah, UPSR (literally Primary School Examination) officially start today. My youngest brother is taking this exam today. The first paper is Bahasa Malaysia. The exam is the first big examination for any students in Malaysia. Since the beginning, I’m feeling that he does not have any determination what so ever for the exam. Even in the trial, his result was not satisfying. (Even though his teacher praised him for pass every subjects).

Why? During my time and my younger brother, we were very nervous and afraid of the exam. We can actually imagine what kind of punishment awaits us if we failed. We even get a fever after the exam. If we talk about my younger brother, fever?? He does not even nervous.

What kind of results awaits him? Well, every one of us is hoping the best for him. 5A’s. But, for him?

A is for Alonso!

B is for Button!

C is for Cosworth!

D is for De La Rosa!

Hahaha.. yes.. He is a F1 fans.

Hmm, talking about UPSR, the Malaysian Government have announce that the UPSR will be abolished in the near future..
What a waste..

Happy 47th Malaysia Anniversaries

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you
Welcome to my blog.

What is Independence Day and what is Malaysia Day? Independence Day is on 31st August, the day where our country received independence. Malaysian Peninsular received independence on 31st August 1957 while the Malaysian Borneo received independence on 31st August 1963. Malaysia Day on the other hand, is the date of formation and unity of our country, the Federation of Malaysia. We are formed on 16th September 1963. The Federation of Malaysia at that time consists of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak. Nevertheless, unlike our peace independence, Malaysia formation is not an easy task. Malaysia experienced bloody conflict with the neighbouring countries which oppose the formation of Malaysia.

After the Federation of Malaya gains independence from Britain, the other British Protectorate of Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Singapore still under British rule. Singapore receive a status of self-governing status in 1959 faces another threat, Communism. The Federation of Malaya have been fighting with the Communist Party for years and this can be prove to be fatal especially the ruling party in Singapore at that time, People Action Party (PAP) lost in some small by-elections in some constituency. Thus, the idea of formation of Malaysia is brought up to unite all of the British Protectorate into one united Federation. When the idea is brought up, all parties in Federation of Malaya parliament agrees.

Federation of Malaysia consist of 13 states. Brunei Darussalam rejected the idea of joining the Federation. Singapore separate from the Federation in 1965

The Southern Thailand originally belong in Tanah Melayu. The 4 southern states also included in the original plan.

The original plan is to include Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, Malaya, Singapore and 4 Thailand Southern States of Menara (Narathiwat), Jala (Yala), Singgora (Songkhla) and Pattani. Nevertheless, the real threat finally arises. Malaya and Singapore was the only state agrees with the formation. Sabah and Sarawak originally oppose the plan. Nevertheless, after a series of explanation throughout the region, the populations finally accept the plan. Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Omar Ali Saiffuddin personally agrees with the formation, but rejected the idea after a revolt by the Bruneian who oppose the plan, including the oil taxes factor. Most of Malay Nationalism group widely support the idea of joining the 4 Thailand southern states into the Federation.

Indonesia and The Philippines started the series of opposition to the formation. The Philippines tries to claim Sabah as the region was traditionally belong to the Sultan of Sulu which have been under The Philippine territories. Indonesia widely oppose where Sukarno dubbed the formation as the neo-imperialism which another way of Malaya to colonized the Borneo Island. Indonesia later announces a military confrontation towards Malaysia which at that time knew as ‘Ganyang Malaysia’. This resulted the formation date which originally designated on 31st August 1963 have to wait and extended until 16th September 1963. The series of opposition by Indonesia and the Philippines resulted Tunku Abd Rahman to drops the 4 southern state of Thailand to join the Federation. It is not wise to increases another enemy towards the new nation (Even though some politicians dubbed this as a personal problem of Tunku Abd Rahman who is the grandchildren of King Chulalongkorn of Thailand). Thus, on 16th September 1963, the new Federation of Malaysia was born.

Tunku Abd Rahman and Lee Kuan Yew

The Federation still under a series of tension, and this time, it is between the Federal Government and Singapore State Government. As the state of Singapore is the most developed state in the Federation, Lee Kuan Yew does not want Tunku Abd Rahman to treat Singapore as a small state like Pulau Pinang and Malacca. In addition, the idea of constitution which separates the citizens through races of Malay, Chinese and Indian is not well received by Lee Kuan Yew who started the idea of Malaysian Malaysia. The political struggle between the Tiger and the Lion continues until the general election 1965, where the PAP should not contest in Malaya, and The Alliances should not contest in Singapore, do so in the election. Thus, on 9th August 1965, the Parliament of Malaysia special sessions was convened and a bill is brought up. And the result, 126 MPs unanimously agrees to separate Singapore from the Federation.

And now, it is these thirteen states of Malaysia still united as one, faces the good and bad time together. The Federation now reaches its 47 years and still standing strong. Currently, the Federation has tries to achieve the status of Fully-Developed Nation and a high income Nation. May the Federation of Malaysia will stands strong in the future. Thus, even with a problems is around us, lets us work together hand in hand to make Malaysia an even better country to live.

Happy 47th Anniversaries Malaysia

Until Next Time

HISTORY

Kelantan was once a powerful state with ancient trade links with China, Champa and India, but became tributary to the Majapahit Empire during the 13th and 14th centuries. It re-established its independence under Raja Kumar, ca. 1411. It became an important centre for trade and commerce during the fifteenth century, but fell to Malacca in 1499. Following the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511, the state disintegrated into several petty principalities. These principalities were conquered again by the Siamese and made subject to Patani I 1603.

In 1760, a certain Kubang Labu succeeded in unifying the disparate territories into a single state once more, but he was overthrown four years later. Long (Luang) Yunus seized the throne and proclaimed himself Raja of Kelantan in 1764 but the state fell under the control of Trengganu after his death. Long Muhammad, younger son of Yunus, declared himself Sultan in 1800. He was eventually accepted by the Siamese as ruler of a separate tributary, twelve years later. Kelantan was transferred to British protection by the terms of the Anglo-Siamese treaty of 1909. Britain paying Siam for all outstanding debts and assuming responsibility for them in Siam's stead. Negeri Kelantan Dar ul-Naim became one of the Unfederated Malay States in 1911.

The Japanese invaded Kelantan on 8th December and were in full occupation by the 22nd of December 1941. They transferred Kelantan to Thai control in 1943.
