This book chronicles the historical legacy of the Riau-Lingga-Johor-Pahang Kingdom and its territories, which thrived from 1722 to 1913. The bond between the Malay and Bugis peoples is poetically likened to the relationship between the white and black of the eye—should one perish, the other is doomed. This sacred oath of allegiance was solidified following the coronation of Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alamsyah I as Yang Dipertuan Besar and Daeng Marewa as Yang Dipertuan Muda in Hulu Riau, Sungai Carang, Riau Archipelago, on October 4, 1722.
In today’s era—especially for Gen Z and Millennials—finding a comprehensive and authoritative source on the Malay-Bugis alliance within the Riau-Johor-Lingga-Pahang Kingdom is a challenge. This book serves as the answer, offering an in-depth exploration of a pivotal chapter in Southeast Asian history. ~
