Sultan of Johor

Sultan Sir Abu Bakar ibni Almarhum Temenggong Seri
Maharaja Tun Daeng Ibrahim

Sultan Sir Abu Bakar ibni Almarhum Temenggong
Seri Maharaja Tun Daeng Ibrahim

He was the 1st Sultan of Modern Johor, the 21st Sultan of Johor and the first Maharaja of Johor from the
House of Temenggong. He was also informally known as "The Father of Modern Johor", as many historians

accredited Johor's development in the 19th century to Abu Bakar's leadership. He initiated policies and
provided aids to ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs to stimulate the development of the state's agricultural
economy which was founded by Chinese migrants from Southern China in the 1840s. He also took charge of
the development of Johor's infrastructure, administrative system, military and civil service, all of which

were modelled closely along Western lines.

Second wife of the Sultan of Johor: Cecilia Family
Catherina Lange
Abu Bakar married his first wife, Engku Chik during his stay in Pahang in 1857. Abu
Bakar was related to Engku Chik by family ties; Engku Chik was the sister of Tun Koris,

who was also a brother-in-law to Abu Bakar. Abu Bakar had a daughter with Engku
Chik, Tunku Besar Putri. He also had a son, Tunku Ibrahim, and a daughter, Tunku

Mariam with his second wife Cecilia Catherina Lange, who was the daughter of a
Danish trader, Mads Johansen Lange and his Chinese wife Nonna Sangnio. Lange met
Abu Bakar while she was in Singapore, and adopted the Muslim name of "Zubaidah"
after her marriage to Abu Bakar in 1870. In 1885, Abu Bakar married a Chinese woman
of Cantonese heritage, Wong Ah Gew, with whom he had a daughter, Tunku Azizah.
Wong took on the Muslim name of "Fatimah" at her marriage to Abu Bakar, and was

crowned the Sultanah in July 1886. Abu Bakar held Wong in very high esteem, who
became Abu Bakar's confidant pertaining to his involvement in state affairs. Wong
became a close friend of Abu Bakar's building contractor, Wong Ah Fook as they shared
a common surname and dialect group. Wong died in 1891. During his state visit to the
Ottoman Empire in September 1893, Abu Bakar married his fourth wife, Khadijah
Khanum, who was of Circassian heritage. (Khadijah's sister, Ruggyah, became the wife
of Abu Bakar's brother and later the wife of the first Menteri Besar of Johor, Dato' Jaafar.)
He had a daughter, Tunku Fatimah with Khadijah the following February, who was

later crowned as the Sultanah of Johor.

Legacy

• Abu Bakar was often accredited as the "Founder of Modern Johor" (Malay: Bapa Pemodenan Johor). He
established a Western-styled bureaucratic system and civil service, and consolidated the state's agricultural
economy, which consisted of gambier and pepper plantations headed by Chinese leaders, known as "Kangchu"
in the Teochew dialect of the southern min Chinese language. The gambier and pepper plantations were first
introduced during the 1840s by Chinese immigrants. Often, Abu Bakar was called in by Malay rulers from
neighbouring states to provide advice in the event when the rulers had to make important decisions. In
particular, he became a close confidante of the Sultan of Pahang, Wan Ahmad in 1887, with whom Abu Bakar
had persuaded Sultan Ahmad to accept a British consultant instead of a Resident. The Colonial Government at
that time was seeking for greater control over the Malay States and was making vociferous attempts to impose
British Residents into the Malay states. The Colonial Government also made a failed attempt to impose a British
Resident in Johor in 1885; the state maintained its independence in its internal affairs until 1914.
