Fall of Malacca and Sultan Mahmud Shah
In 1511, Malacca fell to the Portuguese and Sultan Mahmud Shah was forced to flee Malacca. Malacca Town ( Malay: Bandar Melaka) is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Malacca. Sultan Mahmud Shah (died 1528 ruled Malacca from 1488 to 1528 The sultan made several attempts to retake the capital but his efforts were fruitless. The Portuguese retaliated and forced the sultan to flee to Pahang. Pahang ( Jawi: ڨهڠ is the third largest state on Malaysia, after Sarawak and Sabah, occupying the huge Pahang River River Later, the sultan sailed to Bintan and established a new capital there. Bintan Island or Negeri Segantang Lada is an island of 1866 square kilometers and is part of the Riau Islands province of Indonesia. With a base established, the sultan rallied the disarrayed Malay forces and organized several attacks and blockades against the Portuguese position. Malays (Melayu are an Ethnic group of Austronesian peoples predominantly inhabiting the Malay Peninsula, the east coast of Sumatra, the coast
Based at Pekan Tua, Sungai Telur, Johor, the Johor Sultanate was founded by Raja Ali Ibni Sultan Mahmud Melaka, known as Sultan Alauddin Kiayat Shah (1528-1564), with his Queen Tun Fatimah in 1528. Although Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah and his successor had to contend with attacks by the Portuguese in Malacca and by the Acehnese in Sumatra, they managed to maintain their hold on the Johor Sultanate.
Frequent raids on Malacca caused the Portuguese severe hardship and it helped to convince the Portuguese to destroy the exiled sultan's forces. A number of attempts were made to suppress the Malay but it wasn't until 1526 that the Portuguese finally razed Bintan to the ground. The sultan then retreated to Kampar in Sumatra and died two years later. Kampar is a town in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Founded in 1887 the town lies within the Kinta Valley an area rich with Tin reserves Sumatra (also spelled Sumatera) is the sixth largest island in the world (approximately 470000 km² and is the largest island entirely in Indonesia (two He left behind two sons named Muzaffar Shah and Alauddin Riayat Shah. Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II was the first Sultan of Johor.
Muzaffar Shah continued on to establish Perak while Alauddin Riayat Shah became the first sultan of Johor. Perak is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is the second largest state in Peninsular Malaysia bordering Kedah and Yala Province of
Triangular war
The new sultan established a new capital by the Johor River and from there, continued to harass the Portuguese in the north. He consistently worked together with his brother in Perak and the sultan of Pahang to retake Malacca, which by this time was protected by the fort A Famosa. A Famosa ( Malay language: Kota A Famosa) or "The Famous" in Portuguese, is a fortress located in Malacca,
On the northern part of Sumatra around the same period, Aceh was beginning to gain substantial influence over the Straits of Malacca. See also Sultanate of Aceh Aceh (ʔaˈtɕɛh generally anglicized as ˈɑːtʃeɪ is a special territory ( daerah istimewa) of Indonesia The Strait of Malacca is a narrow 805 km (500 mile stretch of water between Peninsular Malaysia (West Malaysia) and the Indonesian island of Sumatra With the fall of Malacca to Christians' hands, Muslim traders often skipped Malacca in favor of Aceh. A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth A Muslim (مسلم pronounced Muslim, not Muzlim) is an adherent of the Religion Therefore, Malacca and Aceh became direct competitors.
With the Portuguese and Johor frequently locking horns, Aceh launched multiple raids against both sides in order to tighten its grip on the straits. The rise of Aceh encouraged the Portuguese and Johor to sign a truce and divert their attention to Aceh. The truce, however, was short-lived and with Aceh severely weakened, Johor and the Portuguese had each other in their sights again.

Johor-Jambi war
During the triangular war, within the Johor empire, Jambi emerged as a regional economic and political power. Jambi is a province of Indonesia located on the east coast of central Sumatra. Soon in 1666, it tried to break free from Johor and between 1666 and 1673, a civil war erupted between Johor and the Sumatran state. The war was disastrous for Johor as Johor's capital, Batu Sawar, was sacked by Jambi. After the sack, the capital of Johor was frequently moved to avoid the threat of attack from Jambi.
In their efforts to keep the sultanate together, the ruler's shifted their centre of power many times from Pekan Tua to Johor Lama (Kota Batu), Seluyut, Tanah Puteh, Batu Sawar and Makam Tauhid during the reign of Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah III (1623-1677). Johor emerged as the most powerful authority along the Straits of Malacca during the reign of Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah III. He aided the Dutch to defeat the Portuguese and as a result of his good relationship, Johor's trade along the Straits of Malacca was left undisturbed.
Throughout the decade, Jambi continued to exert extraordinary influence on Johor. In 1679 however, Laksamana Tun Abdul Jalil paid Bugis mercenaries to fight alongside Johor against Jambi. The Laksamana is a position within the armed forces similar to the position of Admiral in Malay people sultanates and in present-day countries like Malaysia The Bugis are the most numerous of the three major linguistic and ethnic groups of South Sulawesi, the southwestern province of Sulawesi, Indonesia's third largest Soon afterward, Jambi was brought to its knees.
Bugis infiltration
Sultan Mahmud Shah II of Johor died in 1699 without an heir. HH Paduka Sri Sultan Mahmud Shah II ibni al-Marhum Sultan Ibrahim Shah was the 10th Sultan of Johor Pahang and Lingga (1685-3 September1699 The problem was quickly solved when the viceroy Bendahara Abdul Jalil declared himself the new sultan and called himself Sultan Abdul Jalil IV. Bendahara is an administrative position within classical Malay kingdoms before the intervention of European powers during the 19th century Many however felt that the declaration was illegal.
The Bugis, which played an important role in defeating Jambi two decades earlier, had a huge influence in Johor. Apart from the Malays, another influential faction in Johor at that time was the Minangkabau. The Minangkabau ethnic group (also known as Minang or Padang) is indigenous to the highlands of West Sumatra, in Indonesia. Both the Bugis and the Minangkabau realized how the death of Sultan Mahmud II had provided them with the chance to exert power in Johor. The Minangkabau introduced a Minangkabau prince, Raja Kecil from Siak who claimed he was the posthumous son of Sultan Mahmud II. Siak Regency Siak River Siak Island Asiagh (असियाग ( Siak (सियाक The prince met with the Bugis and promised the Bugis wealth and political power if they helped the prince to win the throne. However, Raja Kecil broke his promise and installed himself as the new sultan of Johor (Sultan Abdul Jalil Rahmat Shah) without the knowledge of the Bugis. Sultan Abdul Jalil IV fled to Pahang where he was later killed by an assassin hired by Raja Kecil.
Dissatisfied with Raja Kecil's accession, the son of Sultan Abdul Jalil IV, Raja Sulaiman, asked Daeng Parani of the Bugis to aid him in his quest to reclaim the throne. Daeng Parani (died ca 1726 was the leader of a group of Bugis adventurers from Makassar, Sulawesi, who became involved in politics in the Johor Sultanate The Bugis are the most numerous of the three major linguistic and ethnic groups of South Sulawesi, the southwestern province of Sulawesi, Indonesia's third largest In 1722, Raja Kecil was dethroned by Raja Sulaiman's supporters with Bugis assistance.

Daeng Parani's brother, Daeng Merewah, who was made Yam Tuan Muda (crown prince) was the man who actually controlled Johor. [1]
Johor administration
The Johor Sultanate continued the system of administration previously practised in Malacca. The highest authority lay in the hands of the Yang di-Pertuan who was known as the Sultan. The Sultan was assisted by a body known as the Majlis Orang Kaya (Council of Rich Men) which was tasked with advising the Sultan. Among them were the treasurer, Temenggong, Laksamana, Shahbandar and Seri Biji Diraja. During the 18th century, the Treasurer of Johor lived in Pahang and the Temenggong Johor in Teluk Belanga, Singapore. Each one managed the administration of their individual areas based on the level of authority bestowed upon them by the Sultan of Johor. Johor's centre of administration was initially based on the mainland of Johor. It then shifted to Bintan Island and then to Lingga. Bintan Island or Negeri Segantang Lada is an island of 1866 square kilometers and is part of the Riau Islands province of Indonesia. When the Sultanate split up on 17 March 1824 after the London Treaty or Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, the centre of administration was in Singapore. History The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 designed to solve many of the issues that had arisen due to the British occupation of Dutch properties during the Napoleonic Wars, as It then shifted to Tanjung Puteri, known today as Johor Bahru. Johor Bahru, also spelled Johor Baharu, Johor Baru, ( "Baru" means "new" in Malay) or Johore Bahru and abbreviated Meanwhile, the Lingga-Riau administration was based at Lingga Island.

Though many in the British East India Company opposed such an idea, Raffles managed to convince Lord Hastings of the Company, then Governor General of British India, to side with him. The Honourable East India Company ( HEIC) referred to most commonly as the East India Company, also historically and colloquially as John Company, or Francis Rawdon-Hastings 1st Marquess of Hastings, ( 9 December 1754 – 28 November 1826) was a British politician and military officer who served For usage see British rule in India British Raj ( rāj, lit "reign" in Hindustani) primarily refers to the British With the governor general's consent, he and his expedition set out to search for a new base.

The Singapore River is a small River in Singapore with great historical importance Temenggung or Temenggong is an ancient Malay title of nobility usually given to the chief of public security Though the island was nominally ruled by the sultanate, the political situation there was extremely murky. The current sultan, Tengku Abdul Rahman, was under the influence of the Dutch and the Bugis. Hence, he would never agree to a British base in Singapore. Singapore
However, Tengku Abdul Rahman was ruler only because his older brother, Tengku Hussein or Tengku Long, had been away in Penang getting married when their father died in 1812. Sultan Hussein Shah was the seventeenth Sultan of Johor. He ruled Johor from 1819 to 1835 Year 1812 ( MDCCCXII) a leap year started on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year According to Malay tradition, a person has to be by the dying sultan's side in order to be considered as the new ruler. Predictably, the older brother was not happy with the development. Furthermore, the Temenggung preferred Tengku Hussein to the younger brother.
Upon learning of these Johor political tensions, Raffles made a deal with Tengku Hussein. Their agreement stated that the British would acknowledge Tengku Hussein as the legitimate ruler of Johor, and thus Tengku Hussein and the Temenggung would receive a yearly stipend from the British. In return, Tengku Hussein would allow Raffles to establish a trading post in Singapore. This treaty was ratified on February 6, 1819.

With the Temenggung's help, Raffles managed to smuggle Hussein, then living in exile on one of the Riau Islands, back into Singapore. Not to be confused with Riau Islands, a province. The Riau Archipelago (Indonesian Kepulauan Riau) is a group of islands within the Riau Islands
The Dutch were extremely displeased with Raffles' action. Tensions between the Dutch and British over Singapore persisted until 1824, when they signed the Anglo-Dutch Treaty. History The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 designed to solve many of the issues that had arisen due to the British occupation of Dutch properties during the Napoleonic Wars, as Under the terms of that treaty, the Dutch officially withdrew their opposition to the British presence in Singapore. The treaty divided the Sultanate of Johor into modern Johor and the state of Riau-Lingga. Riau is a province of Indonesia, located in the center of Sumatra Island along the Strait of Malacca. Lingga may refer toMalaysia Lingga Malaysia, a small town in Sarawak Malaysia;Indonesia Lingga Islands Lingga
In the newly-formed Johor, although Tengku Hussein was the sultan, it was the Temenggung who wielded real authority. The Bugis, on the other hand, controlled Riau under the auspices of the Dutch.
