Kelantan Royal Family

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

On 13th September 2010, 15 members of Royal Succession council of Kelantan has made a decision to proclaim Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra as the new Sultan of Kelantan replacing his ailing father, Sultan Ismail Petra.


The Sultan of Kelantan is styled as HRH Al-Sultan of Kelantan. The current Sultan of Kelantan is HRH Sultan Muhammad V. He is the 29th Sultan of Kelantan.

The consort of the ruler of Kelantan is styled as Raja Perempuan of Kelantan. The position is currently vacant.


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. The state was freed from Japanese occupation on 8th September 1945 and became a state of the Federation of Malaya on 1st February 1948. It joined the other states of the peninsular to form the Federation of Malaya on 31st August 1957 and became a state of Malaysia on 16th September 1963.

There were errors in your posting. Probably you can check the details further. First, The HH Tengku Zubaidah binti Tengku Norudin (for royal wife of the current HRH the Sultan of Kelantan)is not a member of Pattani Royal Family instead she is from Jambu Royal Family. Jambu is a principality state in southern part of Thailand. Jambu and Pattani has no family ties. Second, in Kelantan (and all other Malay states in Peninsular Malaysia), the sultante have not practice a system/law that determine the exact line of succession. They only install a crown prince as the heir apparent to the throne. Other than the Crown Prince, other princes of the state has almost equal standing, with sons of the reigning sultan take precedence to the others. The Royal Council (in Kelantan, it is called Majlis Perajaan Negeri) is the sole ruling body under the constitution determines the next sultan of the state.

First of all, thank you for your comment in the blog. Regarding Tengku Zubaidah, I did not aware of the existence of Jambu Royalty. So I will check later about it.

Secondly, about the line of succession, I have checked it beforehand, all states with exception of Negeri Sembilan and Perak only stated that the throne shall be succeed by the sons of the king, preceded by his brothers, uncles and their male descendant. The line of succession in accordingly unless the State's Royal Council of Succession says otherwise. In other word, the line of succession is applicable unless the council chooses not to do so.

In Perak, those who in the line of succession need to be appointed by the Sultan. While in Negeri Sembilan, no direct heir apparent as the 4 inheritance prince has equal standing.

Historical facts were being disseminated wrongly,but I don't blame you.If you cared to prospect 'deeper',ours' was actually an Indian kingdom descended.Initial kings in Thailand,Cambodia were of Indian origins too.One must go farther back to know the truth....
