Praise to Him for we had successfully completed our Malaysian Studies
project for this semester.
First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude and
appreciation to all those who gave us the possibility to complete this
project. Special thanks to our subject lecturer and advisor, Mr. Oumar,
whose help, stimulating suggestions and encouragement, helped us and
other our classmates to successfully finish our project on analysis of the
western scholar books (thought). Although this project gave a hard time
for us, with the MR. oumar mentoring us, we were able to finish this
project successfully.
And special thanks go to all our classmates, who helped us anytime
we couldnt have done anything without their support. They had helped us
in many aspects especially when we asked some question to them.
Finally, an honorable mention goes to our families and friends for
their understandings and supports on us in completing this project
particularly and our studies in general. Without helps of the particular that

and a cruel tongue. If the Portugese are right, it was not he but his son
that would not yield to dAlbuquerques demand and invited war.
Afterward, in year of 1521, George dAlbaquerque attempted to take
Bintan but the stakes across the river and the Malay bravery are the two
strong fort.
Winstedt also emphasized about Sultan Mahmud. Portugese as well
as the Annals viewed Sultan Mahmud as a weak and a mean man. The
Annals gives us many vignette of this ruler; as a sick boy tended by his
chief, as a student of Islamic mysticism propounding theological problems
to Pasai, as a wanton youth treading the midnight way hi wives of his
followers, as a repentant murderer living as a recluse and spurring his
horse to avoid onlookers at Tanjung Kling. D Albuquerques commentaries
about this ruler, this king was very vain and very proud, and made a
quarrel with his father for wishing to go to the temple of Meca, for he used
to say Malacca was the right Meca; and being suspicious of his brother,
Sultan Celeimeo (Sulaiman) he murdered him with a creese and in like
manner he murdered seventeen of the principal men, all of them his
relatives, without any cause, and even killed his son and heir, because he
had asked for some money to spend. Ruy dAraujo write to Albuqeurque
in year 1510, that Sultan had handed over all power to Bendahara whose
his uncle and then he stayed whole time at home like a monk.
Next, on 20th July 1599, the war between Acheh and Johor still continued
caused by the murder of Raja Hashim and prevent them to form an
alliance. The formal relation between Johor Sultanate and Dutch East
Indies Company (VOC) was begun. However, in 1601 sixty Johor vessels
lay before Pasai and afraid the Achinese into suspecting an alliance of
Johor and Malacca again. But war with Portugal also continued (Winstedt.
R., 1932). With the assistance of Dutch, Malacca was captured and added to the
Johor kingdom.
In 1819, the Johor-Riau Empire was divided up into the mainland Johor,
controlled by the Temenggong, and the Sultanate of Riau-Lingga,
controlled by the Bugis (Wikipedia, n.d.).
2.2 The Historical Background-The Origins of British Control (18191895)
According to Ramanathan, N.N.N, (2000), by the year of 1819,
Stamford Raffles was in search for a suitable port for the British in Malayan
waters. At that time, the mainland state of Johore was still a part of the
vast Kingdom of Johore, Pahang, Riau, Lingga, the Kerimuns, Singapore
and the lesser islands and dependencies. Tengku Abdul Rahman, the
younger son of Sultan Mahmud was given the throne instead of Tengku
Husain which is the eldest son. This situation is contradicted with the
Malay custom that was being practiced during the time. Raffles found that
this is the best chance for him to involve in the unstable condition due to
the opposition from some of the elderly chiefs of Riau regarding the
appointment of Tengku Abdul Rahman as the continuity for the throne. He
planned for several ways to achieve his purposes of acquiring a new port
in the Malayan waters.
Raffles with Farquhar noticed that Kerimun islands are not suitable
for their port, thus they moved tho Singapore which was ruled by
Temenggung Abdul Rahman at that time. However, Temenggung Abdul
Rahman did not have power to permit the establishment of British factory
in Singapore. Sultan Abdul Rahman was under influenced by Dutch and
seeking for his permission was useless since Dutch wanted to keep British
out of his region. Therefore, Raffles planned to use Tengku Husain, make
him as the Sultan of Johore then get Raffles a permit to settle in Singapore.
On 6th February 1819, Tengku Husain was assigned as Raja of Johore with
the name Sultan Husain Muadzam Shah.

3.0 DISCUSSION
3.1 Ancient Johor and The Founding of Johor
Based on the book of A History of Johore written by R. O. Winstedt,
the name of Johor came and derived from many languages such as,
Siamese, Javanese and Arabic. Generally, the word of Johor may come

after
the
future interruption. We also should plan and prepare a defences system for
our own country according to the latest technology as this era of
technology make it is easier to infiltrate our country.
Other than that, the ability of Sultan Abu Bakar to preserve the
economy of Johor is highly recognise by the British showed us that if we
are able to generate more income to the country, which contribute to a
stable economy. This stable economy will make sure we are not let behind
in the various sector and being able to survive for a long time. Sultan Abu
Bakar preserved the Kangcu System which benefited Johor and we should
the same thing with the sectors that gave a lot of benefit for us.
The British successfully regained their power during Sultan Ibrahim
ruling, by one step at a time before the invasion of Japanese army. This
move is because of the urge by the British headquarters in Britain, due to
the World War II that will abrupt at anytime. So the British see that it is
important to regain back your power in ruling and economy to support
their mother country after the war is outbreak. This move actually gave us
some lesson in term of administration, where we should find the
alternatives solution during the hardest time for our country, which will be
occur anytime. However, we should not ignore our key values which is the
humanity as in we should not oppressed other just for our own good.
Other than that, the preservation of power done by Sultan Ibrahim
also should be praised although it is futile at the end after 15 years of
struggling. His action teaches us to try very hard, regardless of other will
think about us. The foreigners might say it was a stubbornness, not to
allow the capable one to rule the country better, but it is all about
sovereignty and to defend what is ours.
