AL-SULTAN Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, the reigning monarch of Pahang, epitomises a sultanate steeped in illustrious history and tradition.

Although Pahang’s royal lineage spans centuries, His Royal Highness’ direct ancestry begins in 1882, marking a pivotal era in the sultanate’s narrative. The saga of the Pahang Malay Sultanate is divided into distinct periods. 

Initially founded when Melaka overthrew Siamese dominion in Pahang, it saw its first sultan, Sultan Muhammad Shah, rise in 1470 following his exile from Melaka. 

Subsequently, the Melaka dynasty in Pahang ended when Sultan Abdul Ghafur Mohayuddin Syah and his son Raja Muda Abdullah were killed by a family member in 1614.

Through shifts from Melaka to Johor’s governance and the challenges posed by Acheh, the region was ultimately governed under the central administration of Johor and Pahang under the watch of the Bendahara.

The reign of this dynasty ended with the death of Sultan Mahmud Shah II in Kota Tinggi in August 1699, when he was killed by Laksamana Bentan Megat Seri Rama. 

As the King had no heir, the throne passed to the most senior family line, led by Bendahara Paduka Raja Tun Abdul Jalil who then ascended the throne as Sultan Abdul Jalil Ri’ayat Shah IV. 

The dynasty that ruled Johor-Riau-Pahang persisted until the 19th century, but it was reshaped by the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, which caused Riau to lose its power over the territories of Johor and Pahang. 

This development led to the separation of Pahang and Johor into distinct sovereign entities, with each provincial government proclaiming itself a sultanate. 

The dawn of modern Pahang emerged in 1882 when the Raja Bendahara dynasty took full control of the territory. This new era was marked by the rise of Wan Ahmad, who became Sultan Ahmad Al-Mu’adzam Shah after a victorious civil strife with his brother. His legacy continued through Sultan Mahmud and Sultan Abdullah Al-Mu’tassim Billah, preceding Sultan Abu Bakar Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mu’adzam Shah’s reign until 1974.

Thereafter, Sultan Ahmad Shah’s reign continued until 2019, during which time he also served a distinguished term as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from 1979 to 1984.

In early 2019, amid health challenges, Sultan Ahmad Shah abdicated under the guidance of the Pahang royal council. Thus, on Jan 15 of that year, his esteemed successor ascended, assuming the regnal name Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, embodying continuity and tradition in the annals of Pahang’s storied monarchy.

MAHATHIR MAY REJOIN UMNO

Image
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could  morph  into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was  recruiting  UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won  only 13 seats  out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...

Ketua Pemuda UMNO ajak Ahli MKT UMNO bertumbuk

Dua tokoh parti politik yang sukar dipisahkan dari imej rasuah , semakin panas bertelagah Rentak Madani 🎵 Akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan semalam bahawa Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh mencabar Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi (MKT) UMNO,  Datuk Lokman Noor Adam  supaya berdepan dengannya sama ada di mahkamah ataupun di gelanggang, berikutan tuduhan kononnya beliau mempunyai agenda tersembunyi untuk menaikkan  Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein  sebagai Perdana Menteri. Amaran itu dibuat selepas Lokman secara terbuka menggelar beliau sebagai ‘Ketua Pemuda H20’ dalam satu wawancara bersama sebuah platform baru-baru ini. Menurut Muhamad Akmal, Lokman kini mempunyai dua pilihan, sama ada menjawab saman beliau di mahkamah ataupun bertemu di gelanggang bagi menyelesaikan isu berkenaan. “Kamu ada dua pilihan. Pilihan pertama, kita lawan di mahkamah. Aku saman kamu," cabar Akmal. Lokman berpendapat, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Merlimau itu menggunakan kelebih...

Even foreign business people from Indonesia and Pakistan decided to go back to their respective countries or moved to other places.

Janganlah jealous lelaki Rohingya dapat awek Melayu cun💝

Image
Kalau kita nak tackle perempuan Melayu tetapi cinta kita ditolak, maka kita harus menghadapi kenyataan ini dengan tenang dan penuh istiqamah, pasrah lagi bertawakkal. Terimalah ia sebagai ketentuan Allah. Mungkin ada hikmah di sebaliknya. Perempuan itu memilih lelaki Rohingya atas penilaiannya sendiri. Mungkin dia terpikat dari aspek kegagahan, ketulusan cinta, keromantikan, kekacakan dan ke-handsome-an yang luar biasa keistimewaannya serta berbagai ciri-ciri lain yang tiada pada lelaki Melayu. Janganlah kita mengutuk takdir yang menentukan. Ia tidak akan merubah hati perempuan itu yang telah terkunci di dalam hati seorang jejaka Rohingya. Lagipun, sedarilah. Angkara pihak berkuasa yang mengelirukan, kita orang Melayu sudah menjadi warga kelas tiga yang menumpang dalam negara sendiri. Standard kita setakat menjadi penerima bantuan kerajaan sahaja. Semua orang luar seolah-olah bebas memasuki negara ini. Kita bukan siapa-siapa. Dalam satu hantaran penuh emosi semalam, akaun Facebook Fri...

Bersama expected to win half of PKR, DAP and Amanah's existing parliamentary and state seats in Johor

Image
Analysts say Johor state elections will be PH Vs BN — but they overlook Bersama PAS and Bersatu are expected to face a rough ride in the upcoming Johor state election, as both parties look set to go their own way while their potential allies appear lacklustre. Though both parties have announced efforts to form new political configurations amid Perikatan Nasional’s ongoing crisis, news portal FMT spoke to Dr Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and he said these new alliances would not be earth-shattering in Johor. Mazlan said both parties had limited options for allies, having been linked to the same entities such as Berjasa, Pejuang, Putra, and Muda. He added that these small parties command little influence and are incapable of taking on Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Harapan. “I don’t see any real competition in Johor. It will be more like BN against PH, as PAS and Bersatu have been weakened by their division. “Although these small parties will want to help them, they will not ...

THE WOLF NEVER WANTED THE ARGUMENT A Wolf And A Lamb Meet At A Stream. Not As Enemies. As Neighbors Sharing Water. The Wolf Is Higher Up The Brook. The Water Runs From Him To Her. Still, He Accuses. “You Muddy My Water.” The Lamb Answers Gently. She Is Correct. Physics Is On Her Side. The Water Cannot Flow Upward. The Accusation Collapses Instantly. So The Wolf Replaces It. “I Heard You Spoke Ill Of Me Last Year.” The Lamb Explains Again. She Is Six Months Old. She Did Not Exist Last Year. Another Charge Fails. So The Wolf Stops Pretending To Care About Truth. “If It Was Not You, It Was Your Father.” And With That, The Argument Ends. The Teeth Appear. The Lamb Is Eaten. This Story Is Not About Cruelty. It Is About Power. The Wolf Never Wanted An Explanation. He Wanted A Justification. Each Accusation Was Not A Question But A Stepping Stone Toward An Outcome Already Decided. This Is The Pattern Predators Follow: They Accuse First. Then Adjust The Accusation Until Resistance Looks Like G...
