Sambutan Keputeraan Yang di-Pertuan Agong di hadapan Istana Negara

Sahabat-sahabat di seluruh dunia sekalian,

Saya telah tinggal di Malaysia lebih 20 tahun. Dalam jangka masa itu, saya telah memupuk satu penghargaan yang besar terhadap budaya dan adat yang wujud di Malaysia, yang telah memberi inspirasi kepada saya untuk lebih banyak menulis tentang aspek-aspek Malaysi yang memperkayakan kebudayaannya. Ini adalah salah satu lagi artikel untuk memberi anda pemahaman dan latar belakang Malaysia.

Malaysia telah mengambil sistem raja berpelembagaan yang merupakan satu campuran antara raja-raja terpilih dan keturunan. Malaysia terdiri daripada beberapa kawasan pentadbiran merentasi tiga belas buah negeri dan tiga buah wilayah persekutuan.

Bagi tujuan artikel ini, kita akan menumpukan kepada jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong atau Ketua Kerajaan Malaysia, dan sembilan negeri yang diperintah sama ada melalui raja-raja terpilih atau keturunan. Negeri-negeri tersebut adalah:

  1. Johor Darul Ta’zim
  2. Kedah darul Aman
  3. Kelantan Darul Naim
  4. Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus
  5. Pahang Darul Makmur
  6. Perak Darul Ridzuan
  7. Perlis Indera Kayangan
  8. Selangor Darul Ehsan
  9. Terengganu Darul Iman

Saya dengan sukacitanya menyampaikan kepada anda, sistem beraja di Malaysia, sejarahnya, dan bagaimana sistem unik ini telah dilaksanakan dengan jayanya selama bertahun-tahun. Saya sampaikannya dengah penuh rasa hormatnya kepada raja-raja dan monarki Malaysia.

Ringkasan

Malaysia terdiri daripada beberapa kerajaan Melayu dan wilayah yang terdahulunya merupakan sebahagian daripada wilayah kolonial dan negeri lindungan British. Selepas kegagalan menubuhkan Malayan Union antara tahun 1946 dan 1948, Pentadbiran British telah menubuhkan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948, yang mengakui status simbolik raja-raja Melayu.

Persekutuan Tanah Melayu terdiri daripada sembilan kerajaan Melayu: Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Perlis, Selangor dan Terengganu, serta dua wilayah kolonial British, iaitu Pulau Pinang dan Melaka. Pesuruhjaya Tinggi British, seorang penjawat diplomat kanan British yang bertanggungjawab terhadap sebuah wilayah Komanwel, telah mempengerusikan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dan dibantu oleh Majlis Mesyuarat Kerja dan Majlis Mesyuarat Undangan.

Pada 31 Ogos 1957, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu telah mengisytiharkan kemerdekaan daripada Empayar British. Pada 16 September 1963, Persekutuan Malaysia, kemudiannya hanya dikenali sebagai Malaysia, telah ditubuhkan. Anggotanya termasuklah bekas anggota Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dan tiga anggota baru: Borneo Utara, Sarawak dan Singapura. Dua tahun kemudia, Singapura telah meninggalkan persekutuan tersebut.

Yang di-Pertuan Agong

 

Sejarah Ringkas

Tuanku Abdul Rahman of Negeri Sembilan, the 1st Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia

Tuanku Abdul Rahman dari Negeri Sembilan, Yang di-Pertuan Agong pertama di Malaysia

Jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong telah diwujudkan selepas Malaysia mendapat kemerdekaannya daripada Britain pada tahun 1957. Yang di-Pertuan Agong adalah ketua negara, dan dilantik oleh Majlis Raja-Raja (the Conference of Rulers). Anggota Majlis Raja-Raja memainkan peranan penting dalam pemindaan perlembagaan, terutamanya yang berkaitan dengan status raja-raja, hak-hak bumiputera, bahasa kebangsaan dan polisi-polisi lain yang berkaitan. Orang pertama yang dilantik oleh Majlis Raja-Raja untuk menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong adalah Sultan Ibrahim dari Johor (tahun 1873 – 1959; memerintah: tahun 1933 -1960). Namun begitu, raja yang berumur 84 tahun itu menolak jawatan tersebut kerana usia tuanya. Majlis Raja-Raja kemudiannya memilih Tuanku Abdul Rahman dari Negeri Sembilan (tahun 1895 – 1960; memerintah: tahun 1933 – 1960) sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong yang pertama selepas itu.

 

Proses Pengundian

Conference of Rulers meeting in 2010

Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja bersidang pada tahun 2010

Majlis Raja-Raja dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menentukan siapa yang akan menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong, setiap lima tahun sekali, atau jika jawatan itu dikosongkan akibat kemangkatan atau sebab-sebab yang lain. Keempat-empat gabenor negeri juga turut menghadiri persidangan tersebut, tetapi tidak mempunyai hak untuk terpilih atau mengundi bagi jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Berikut merupakan ciri-ciri bagi calon untuk layak menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong:

  • Calon mestilah seorang raja kerajaan atau kesultanan di Malaysia
  • Calon mestilah dewasa
  • Calon tidak menyampaikan niat kepada Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja untuk menarik dari pencalonan jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong
  • Majlis Raja-Raja tidak membantah perlantikan seseorang calon berdasarkan sebab musabab yang meragui kesesuaian calon untuk menjalankan tanggungjawab sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Jata Yang di-Pertuan Agong

Semasa proses pengundian, Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja akan mengedarkan kertas undi dengan senarai calon. Setiap raja-raja akan menyatakan pendapatnya sama ada calon tersebut layak untuk dilantik menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja bersama dengan raja yang muda dari segi pemerintahannya dan tidak tersenarai sebagai calon, akan mengira undi bersama-sama. Calon yang mendapat sekurang-kurangnya lima undian akan ditawarkan jawatan sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Jika calon itu menolak tawaran tersebut, atau tidak berjaya mendapatkan undian majoriti, proses pengundian akan diulang dengan raja kedua dalam senarai Kekanaan Negeri menjadi calon seterusnya.

Senarai Kekanaan Negeri:

  1. Yamtuan Besar Negeri Sembilan
  2. Sultan Selangor
  3. Raja Perlis
  4. Sultan Terengganu
  5. Sultan Kedah
  6. Sultan Kelantan

Keistimewaan dan Tanggungjawab Yang di-Pertuan Agong

The 14th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, Abdul Halim of Kedah and his wife, Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Hajah Haminah Binti Hamidun

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Malaysia ke-14, Abdul Halim dari Kedah dan permaisuri, Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Hajah Haminah Binti Hamidun

Yang di-Pertuan Agong harus menjalankan tanggungjawab yang berikut:

  • Melantik jawatan penting kerajaan, termasuklah Jemaah Menteri (seperti Perdana Menteri, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Ketua Setiausaha Negara), jawatankuasa dan suruhanjaya (seperti Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya, Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Kehakiman dan Perundangan, Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam), hakim-hakim (seperti Ketua Hakim Negara, Hakim Besar Malaya dan Hakim Besar Sabah dan Sarawak), senator dan gabenor.
  • Menjadi Ketua Agama Islam di tiga negeri yang ditadbir oleh gabenor, tiga buah Wilayah Persekutuan dan negeri asalnya.
  • Menjadi Pemerintah Tertinggi Angkatan Tentera, pegawai tertinggi dalam senarai rantaian perintah ketenteraan

 

Penghapusan Kekebalan

Pada tahun 1993, perlembagaan Malaysia telah dipinda untuk melucutkan kekebalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan raja-raja dalam lingkup peribadi mereka. Perlembagaan juga menyatakan bahawa Yang di-Pertuan Agong atau mana-mana raja tidak boleh memberi pengampunan kepada diri sendiri atau keluarga terdekatnya. Namun begitu, mereka boleh membuat permintaan untuk pengampunan dari Majlis Raja-Raja.

 

Sistem beraja di negeri-negeri di Malaysia

Ketika ini, terdapat sembilan buah negeri di Malaysia yang mengamalkan sistem raja berpelembagaan. Perlembagaan negeri menyatakan bahawa hanya lelaki beragama Islam dan berketurunan diraja sahaja yang layak untuk menjadi ketua negeri tersebut. Seperti sistem raja berpelembagaan yang lain, raja-raja tidak terlibat dalam pentadbiran seharian kerajaan negeri mereka. Namun begitu, mereka masih berhak untuk menjadi Ketua Agama Islam dan untuk melantik Menteri Besar (Chief Minister), atau ketua kerajaan negeri tersebut.

Jata Negeri Kedah

Kesultanan Kedah juga dikenali sebagai Darul Aman, atau ‘Abode of Peace’ (Tempat Keamanan). Kedah asalnya adalah sebuah kerajaan Hindu yang diasaskan pada tahun 630 Sebelum Masihi oleh Maharaja Derbar Raja dari Gemeron, yang juga dikenali sebagai Bandar Abbas. Seorang putera raja Parsi yang telah ditumpaskan dalam peperangan, dia melarikan diri dan terkandas di Kedah. Bandar Abbas menjalinkan hubungan yang baik dengan penduduk di Kedah, dan mereka mengangkatnya sebagai raja mereka, Sri Paduka Maharaja Durbar Raja I.

Sri Paduka Maharaja Durbar Raja I

Pada penghujung abad ke-11, pengaruh Islam telah sampai ke Kedah. Maharaja kesembilan Kedah, Sri Paduka Maharaja Durbar Raja II telah memeluk ajaran baru ini, dan menukar nama dan gelarannya kepada Sultan Mudzafar Shah I (memerintah tahun 1136 – 1179). Selepas dari itu, kerajaan Kedah menjadi kesultanan Kedah. Dari segi sejarah, Kedah telah jatuh di bawah kawalan kerajaan Srivijaya, Siam, Britain dan Jepun. Semasa kedah merupakan negeri uftian Siam, ia terpaksa kerap menghantar Bunga Mas atau Bunga Emas dan hadiah-hadiah berharga yang lain kepada kerajaan Siam. Pada abad ke-18, Sultan Kedah menyerahkan Pulau Pinang dan Province of Wellesley kepada British untuk mendapatkan perlindungan mereka daripada Siam. Namun, Siam telah menyerang Kedah pada tahun 1821 dan mengambil kuasa di kawan itu. Siam juga telah memisahkan wilayah Perlis dari kesultanan Kedah. Pada tahun 1909, Perjanjian British-Siam telah ditandatangani pada tahun 1909, dan Britain mendapat kuasa di Kedah. Siam mengambil alih semula kuasa buat seketika semasa Perang Dunia Kedua sebagai ganjaran perikatan mereka dengan Jepun, namun telah diserahkan semula kepada Empayar British selepas Perang Dunia Kedua. Kedah menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan kemudiannya Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Sejarah Ringkas

Kelantan Sultanate’s Coat of Arms

Jata Negeri Kelantan

Kelantan mempunyai sejarah yang berwarna-warni dan bergelora. Sepanjang sejarahnya, pedagang-pedagang China, India dan Siam telah menjalankan perniagaan mereka di Kelantan, yang menjadikannya sasaran yang menarik untuk kuasa asing mengambil kuasa di kawasan ini. Pada abad ke-13 dan ke-14, kesultanan Kelantan menjadi negeri uftian kerajaan Majapahit dan Srivijaya. Pada abada ke-15, Kelantan menjadi negeri uftian Siam dan kemudiannya Melaka. Semasa Kelantan merupakan negeri uftian bagi Siam, ia terpaksa menghantar Bunga Mas atau Bunga Emas dan hadiah-hadiah berharga yang lainnya kepada kerajaan Siam. Sewaktu jajahan Portugis di Melaka, kesultanan Kelantan telah dibahagikan kepada beberapa kawasan yang lebih kecil di bawah kuasa ketua-ketua feudal. Siam telah mengambil semula kuasa di kawasan ini dan meletakkannya di bawah penguasaan kerajaan Patani.

Pada tahun 1760, seorang ketua dari Kubang Labu bernama Long Muhammad atau Long Pandak telah menyatukan bekas-bekas wilayah Kelantan dan melantik dirinya sebagai pemerintah. Beberapa tahun kemudian, seorang pahlawan Pattani, Long Yunus telah menjatuhkan Long Pandak dan mengisytiharkan dirinya sebagai Raja Kelantan (tahun 1734 – 1794; memerintah: tahun 1775 – 1794). Selepas kemangkatan Long Yunus, kuasa ke atas Kelantan telah dialih kepada Terengganu dibawah kuasa Yang di-Pertuan Muda Tengku Muhammad, anakanda kepada Sultan Mansur di Terengganu (memerintah: tahun 1794 – 1800). Pada tahun 1800, anakanda kepada Raja Yunus, Long Muhammad, menisytiharkan dirinya sebagai pemerintah Kelantan dibawah gelaran Sultan Muhammad I (memerintah: tahun 1800 – 1835). Kelantan menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Johor Sultanate’s Coat of Arms

Jata negeri Johor

Johor asalnya merupakan sebahagian daripada kesultanan Melaka. Pada tahun 1511, Portugis telah menawan Melaka dan Sultan Mahmud Shah terpaksa melarikan diri dari kerajaannya ke Bintan. Baginda telah beberapa kali gagal untuk mengambil semula kerajaannya sebelum Portugis menyerang Bintan pada tahun 1526 dan memaksa baginda melarikan diri ke Kampar, Sumatra. Sultan Mahmud Shah mangkat pada tahun 1528, dan kedua orang puteranya telah mengasaskankan kesultanan mereka masing-masing. Sultan Muzaffar Shah (memerintah: tahun 1528 – 1549) telah mengasaskan kesultanan Perak, sementara Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah (tahun 1513 – 1564; memerintah: tahun 1528 – 1564) telah mengasaskan kesultanan Johor. Selama beberapa ketika, Sultan yang baru dan keturunannya telah diganggu oleh Portugis dan Aceh, namun mereka berjaya mempertahankan wilayah barunya itu.

Makam Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah, pengasas Kesultanan Johor

Pada awal abad ke-17, Belanda tiba di Asia Tenggara dan menandatangani dua perjanjian perikatan dengan kesultanan Johor pada tahun 1606. Kesultanan Johor dan Belanda bergabung tenaga untuk mengalahkan Portugis di Melaka. Selepas peperangan, Belanda telah mengambil kuasa di Melaka, dan seperti yang telah dipersetujui, Belanda bersetuju untuk tidak menduduki wilayah kesultanan Johor.

Antara tahun 1666 dan 1673, Jambi, sebahagian daripada kesultanan Johor, telah menjadi satu kawasan yang makmur dan cuba untuk berpecah dari Johor. Niat pemisahan ini telah menjadi satu perang saudara. Semasa waktu ini, Sultan Johor berusaha untuk menyatukan kesultanannya dan terpaksa untuk memindahkan ibu negerinya untuk beberapa kali. Pada abad ke-17, Johor menjadi pusat perdagangan dengan pengaruh melebihi Melaka. Pihak Belanda tidak begitu gembira dengan hal ini, tetapi masih berpegang kepada perjanjian yang telah ditandatangani. Sultan terakhir daripada keturunan asal Dinasti Melaka ialah Sultan Mahmud Shah II dari Johor(tahun 1675 – 1699; memerintah: tahun 1685 – 1699). Baginda mangkat tanpa waris, oleh sebab itu, kumpulan dominan dalam istananya, melantik Bendahara Abdul Jalil (memerintah 1699 – 1720) untuk menggantikannya, sebagai Sultan Abdul Jalil IV.

Takhta itu kemudiannya telah dirampas oleh Raja Kecil, yang mendakwa dirinya sebagai putera Sultan Mahmud Shah II. Raja Kecil telah mengupah pembunuh upahan untuk membunuh Sultan Abdul Jalil IV dan mengangkat dirinya sendiri sebagai Sultan Johor. Namun, pemerintahan Raja Kecil tidak lama, kerana anakanda Sultan Abdul Jalil, Sultan Sulaiman (memerintah: tahun 1722 – 1760) mengambil semula takhta dengan bantuan seorang tokoh Bugis yang berpengaruh, Daeng Parani. Setelah Sultan Sulaiman dinobatkan sebagai Sultan Johor, Daeng Merewah, kekanda kepada Daeng Parani, telah dilantik sebagai Yam Tuan Muda atau waris kepada takhta. Pada tahun 1819, kesultanan Johor telah dipecahkan kepada tanah besar Johor dan wilayah Riau-Lingga. Sultan Johor memegang kuasa ke atas tanah besar Johor, sementara wilayah Riau-Lingga telah diserahkan kepada puak Bugis.

Selepas kehilangan Riau-Lingga, Johor terus membangun menjadi kesultanan yang moden. Dalam pemerintahan Sultan Abu Bakar Johor (1833 – 1895; memerintah: 1862 – 1895), baginda telah menubuhkan pentabdiran mengikut cara British dan perlembagaan negeri, dan telah dikenali sebagai Bapa Johor Moden. Johor telah menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Sejarah RIngkas

Negeri Sembilan's Coat of Arms

Jata Negeri Sembilan

Negeri Sembilan merupakan negeri uftian kesultanan Melaka. Selepas Melaka jatuh ke dalam kuasa Portugis, negeri itu berada dalam perlindungan kesultanan Johor. Pada abad ke-14, penduduk dari Minangkabau di Sumatra telah berhijrah ke Negeri Sembilan. Oleh itu, berbanding dengan negeri-negeri lain, kebanyakan orang di Negeri Sembilan mengamalkan sistem nasab ibu, yang merupakan ciri-ciri masyarakat Minangkabau. Pada abad ke-18, kesultanan Johor terpaksa menangani urusan dalaman, dan tidak dapat melindungi Negeri Sembilan daripada serangan Bugis. Disebabkan itu, Negeri Sembilan mendapatkan perlindungan daripada Sultan Abdul Jalil Pagar Ruyung di Minangkabau, yang kemudiannya menghantar anakandanya Raja Melewar sebagi wakil.

Namun begitu, apabila Raja Melewar tiba di Negeri Sembilan, baginda mendapati seorang yang bernama Raj Khatib telah mengisytiharkan dirinya sendiri sebagai pemerintah Negeri Sembilan. Raja Melewar mengisytiharkan perang ke atas raja baru itu, dan menumpaskan Raja Khatib, dan menabalkan dirinya sebagai pemerintah Negeri Sembilan. Kesultanan Johor mengakui Raja Melewar (memerintah: tahun 1773 – 1795) sebagai pemerintah Negeri Sembilan dan memberikannya gelaran Yamtuan Seri Menanti atau ‘He Who is the Highest Lord of Seri Menanti’ (Dia yang merupakan Ketua Tertinggi Seri Menanti). Selepas kemangkatan Raja Melewar, pemilihan pemeritah seterusnya kerap berakhir dengan perang saudara dan ketidakstabilan, kerana terdapat kepentingan dan sokongan yang bercanggah kepada beberapa pihak yang menuntut takhta. Pada tahun 1873, pihak British membuat keputusan untuk melindungi kepentingan mereka di Negeri Sembilan dengan campur tangan dalam perang saudara itu. Disebabkan itu, kawasan ini jatuh di bawah pendudukan British. Negeri Sembilan menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Sultan Pahang yang pertama ialah Muhammad Shah (memerintah: tahun 1470 – 1475). Baginda merupakan waris kepada takhta Melaka sebelum dibuang negeri ke Pahang oleh ayahandanya, Sultan Mansyur Shah (memerintah: tahun 1459 – 1477) kerana telah melakukan pembunuhan. Pahang pernah jatuh di bawah kekuasaan beberapa kerajaan, seperti Srivijaya, Majapahit, Siam dan Melaka. Pada abad ke-16, Pahang menarik perhatian pihak Portugis, Belandan, Johor dan Aceh. Pada abad ke-17, Pahang menjadi wilayah jajahan kesultanan Johor. Namun, memandangkan pemerintah Pahang berketurunan dari keluarga diraja Melaka dan Johor, mereka berjaya mendapatkan sedikit autonomi dari kesultanan Johor. Sewaktu pemerintahan Bendahara Tun Ali dari Pahang (memerintah: tahun 1806 – 1847), keamanan dan kestabilan dapat dijaga. Malangnya, selepas kemangkatannya, putera-puteranya, Tun Mutahir (memerintah: tahun 1858 – 1863) dan Tun Ahmad berbalah tentang siapa yang berhak untuk mewarisi takhta dan telah memulakan perang saudara. Tun Ahmad (memerintah: tahun 1863 – 1881) kemudiannya telah ditabalkan menjadi sultan yang baru, namun kuasanya telah berkurangan kerana terpaksa untuk tunduk kepada pentadbiran British.

Selepas kesultanan Johor kehilangan wilayah Riau-Lingga kepada Bugis, Temenggung Ibrahim dari Johor telah menandatangani perjanjian dengan Bendahara Tun Mutahir dari Pahang (memerintah: tahun 1858 – 1863), yang menyatakan bahawa Temenggung Ibrahim dan warisnya berhak untuk memerintah negeri Johor, sementara Bendahara Tun Mutahir dan warisnya berhak untuk memerintah di negeri Pahang. Selepas perjanjian ditandatangani, Pahang telah mendapat kebebasan daripada Johor. Pahang menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Pihak Belanda tiba di Perak pada pertengahan abad ke-17 dan menggunakan hubungan mereka dengan Aceh untuk memaksa Sultan Perak menandatangani satu perkankian yang akan membernarkan pihak Belanda untuk membina loji dan berdagang di Perak. Namun begitu, emeandangkan pihak Belanda gagal untuk menjalinkan hubungan yang baik dengan penduduk Perak, penduduk Perak telah memusnahkan loji dan memaksa pihak Belanda untuk pergi. Pada tahun 1670, Belanda telah berjaya untuk mendapat persetujuan dari pemerintah Perak untuk membina sebuah Kubu di Pulau Pangkor yang dikenali sebagai Kota Belanda. Namun, 15 tahun kemudian, orang-orang Perak telah menyerang kubu itu dan memaksa pihak Belanda untuk skeali lagi menghentikan operasi mereka di Perak.

Pada abad ke-19, British telah memaksa Perak untuk tunduk kepada kuasa mereka dan menabalkan Sultan Abdullah sebagai raja baru Perak, dan pegawai British, James W. W. Birch telah diberi tugas untuk mentadbir kesultanan itu. Malang bagi Encik Birch, dia telah dibunuh oleh orang-orang Perak. Pihak British, tidak berpuas hati dengan kejadian itu, telah membuang negeri Sultan Abdullah ke Seychelles, dan menabalkan raja yang baru, Sultan Yusuf Sharifudin Mudzaffar Shah pada tahun 1877. British juga telah melantik pegawai yang baru yang juga fasih dalam bahasa Melayu dan biasa dengan budaya tempatan, Sir Hugh Low. Dia lebih berjaya sebagai pentadbir negeri Perak berbanding yang sebelumnya. Perak menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

Sultan Selangor yang pertama ialah Sultan Sallehuddin Shah, juga dikenali sebagai Raja Lumu (tahun 1705 – 1778; memerintah: tahun 1756 – 1778), anak kepada seorang pahlawan Bugis, Daeng Chelak. Pemerintah Perak dan Johor pada awalnya mencabar pertabalan Sultan Sallehuddin Shah, tetapi dia berjaya mendapatkan sedikit keabsahan melalui perkahwinannya dengan ahli dari keluarga diraja Perak. Pada abad ke-19, eksploitasi sumber bijih timah di Selangor membawa kepada kemakmuran ekonomi. Sewaktu pemerintahan Sultan Muhammad Shah (memerintah: tahun 1826 – 1857), Selangor telah dibahagikan kepada 5 kawasan: Bernam, Kuala Selangor, Kelang, Langat dan Lukut, dengan ketua masing-masing bagi setiap kawasan.

Sultan Abdul Samad dari Selangor (tahun 1804 – 1898; memerintah: tahun 1857 – 1898)

Pada tahun 1886, Sultan Abdul Samad, juga dikenali sebagi Raja Abdul Samad (tahun 1804 – 1898; memerintah: tahun 1857 – 1898), memilih Raja Abdullah sebagai ketua Klang berbanding Raja Mahadi, anak kepada ketua yang sebelumnya. Perlantikan ini telah mencetuskan Perang Kelang. Tengku Kudin, menantu kepda Sultan Abdul Samad, telah diberikan tugas untuk mengendalikan situasi tersebut. Tengku Kudin telah mendapatkan bantuan dari tentera upahan, kesultanan Pahang dan Sir Andrew Clarke dari Britain. Oleh sebab ini, tidak seperti negeri-negeri yang lain, Selangor telah menjemput dan mengalu-alukan penglibatan British. Sultan Abdul Samad juga telah menerima seorang residen British, Frank Swettenham, sebagai penasihatnya. Kestabilan yang mengikuti pentadbiran British telah membawa kepada kemakmuran kepada negeri Selangor. Selangor menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tahun 1963. Sultan Salahuddin dari Selangor (tahun 1926 – 2001; memerintah: tahun 1960 – 2001) telah memperkenankan penyerahan Kuala Lumpur kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan pada tahun 1974, dan Putrajaya pada tahun 2001.

Sejarah Ringkas

Terengganu’s Coat of Arms

Jata Negeri terengganu

Terengganu asalnya merupakan negeri lindungan kesultanan Melaka dan kemudiannya kesultanan Johor. Ia juga merupakan negeri pertama di rantau Melayu yang menerima Islam sebagai agamanya, seperti yang tercatat dalam Batu Bersurat Terengganu. Pada tahun 1725, Terengganu menjadi kesultanan yang bebas di bawah Tun Zainal Abidin (memerintah: tahun 1725 – 1733), seorang saudara Sultan Johor. Pada abad ke-19, kuasa politik telah beralih, dan Teerngganu menjadi negeri uftian Siam dan terpaksa kerap menghantar Bunga Mas atau Bunga Emas dan hadiah-hadiah berharga yang lain kepada kerajaan Siam. Terengganu menjadi makmur pada tempoh ini, memandangkan Siam telah memberikan mereka autonomi yang besar untuk mentadbir sendiri. Pada abad ke-20, Terengganu menjadi negeri uftian Britain. Empayar British telah memaksa kesultanan Terengganu untuk menerima penasihat British. Namun begitu, tindakan ini tidak diminati penduduk tempatan. Siam mendapat kawalan semula ke atas Terengganu buat seketika sewaktu pendudukan Jepun, tetapi negeri itu dipulangkan kepada empayar British selepas Perang Dunia Kedua. Terengganu menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1948 dan kemudian Malaysia pada tahun 1963.

    Visiting Tibet, holy Gaden Monastery is everyone dream and a once life time. Of course if we have the means to visit again will be great. End of December 2008 and early January 2009 our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche with a small group students visited Tibet. Thousands of pilgrims, visitors and tourists around the world have visited this incredible holy land for the last 600 years. Tsem Rinpoche visited Tibet for the first time with an oxygen tank. I am fortunate to visit this holy place with my Dharma brothers and sisters years back.
    With our Guru blessing we went without any without any hitch. Visited most of the monasteries and could feel the powerful energies there. Looking at those pictures in this blog reminds me of trip there.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Interesting….. a ground breaking documentary by world BBC where everyone should watch. BBC did mentioned and documented that Jesus was a Buddhist monk and that he had spent some years in India. I would not know about this till I came across this blog. Many people most probably too. Interesting watch one should not miss. Jesus was a religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism. Other evidence, while perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir to study Buddhism exclusively.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The Great Buddhas of Bamiyan were two monumental Buddhist statues built around 600 CE. A holy site for Buddhists on the Silk Road, historically a caravan route linking the markets of China with those of the Western world. The two most prominent statues were the giant standing sculptures of the Buddhas .It was the site of several Buddhist monasteries where monks at the monasteries lived as hermits. It was until in 2001, both statues were destroyed by the Taliban . Before being blown up in 2001, they were the largest examples of standing Buddha carvings in the world .Buddhism was eliminated in Afghanistan by the 13th century during the Mongol conquests. Sadly all statues depicting humans in Afghanistan was destroyed. They were perhaps the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Despite the Buddhas’s destruction, the ruins continue to be a popular culture landmark, where many locals, pilgrims and tourist visit the site.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting blog.

    Ven. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet, recognized as the fourth reincarnation of Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche. Well he was known for his purity in holding his vinaya vows. Even though he left Tibet in 1959 and settled in India, he had inspired, and supported the Sangha community, working tirelessly giving teachings at Sera Monastery in India . He also continued in protecting, preserving and propagating the Buddhadharma all over the world. H E Tsem Rinpoche first met him about 15 years in Sera Monastery and the last time in Gaden Monastery. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche knew that Tsem Rinpoche in New York back in 2013 and decided to meet up with Rinpoche. Looking at those beautiful photos tells all . Its truly rejoiced moment .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with precious photos taken during Rinpoche visit.

    The general preliminaries are the four contemplations on precious human body, impermanence and death, cause and effect of karma, and the defects of samsara. The special preliminaries are taking refuge, arousing bodhicitta, the recitation and meditation of Vajrasattva, mandala offerings, and guru yoga.The purpose of life is to benefit other sentient beings and the greatest benefit we can offer them is to liberate them from their suffering and its causes. We have to purify all the negative karma and defilements we have collected over our beginning-less rebirths and accumulate extensive merit. These are the conditions necessary for us to actualize the path. Well we have received just this once the most precious human life ,we have to make our life as meaningful as possible. The purpose of doing preliminary practices is for us to purify obstacles to achieving realizations of the path to enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. I am still doing my best .
    Great sharing thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this important write up .

    The Heart Sutra teaches emptiness through the epitome of compassion. It is often said that, the heart of emptiness is compassion. It’s an attribute by which we sees the suffering of another and experiences true empathy for them. This empathy, in turn, leads the person to reach out and share in the person’s suffering. By helping them to endure whatever they are going through regardless of race and religion. Our prime purpose in this life is to help and benefit others. Well if we can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. Treat others as we would like others to treat us. Always wish upon others and showing kindness to those who are feeling sad or upset to help them feel better. Lend a shoulder to them to lean on. Emptiness can be explored through meditation and contemplation. By observing the impermanence and interdependence of all things, we can gradually come to understand the true nature of reality. We have to understand the actual words of the Heart Sutra and its meaning within the Buddhist tradition as well as the meanings of emptiness. Will revisit this blog to read, learn more .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    The concept of Dharma is considered to be accessible and applicable to everyone, regardless of their religious background. Dharma, in its essence, is about understanding and living in accordance with universal principles of righteousness and ethical conduct. The core of the doctrine of dharma, especially in Buddhism, is about understanding the nature of suffering, the cause of suffering, the possibility of ending suffering, and the path to liberation through ethical conduct, mindfulness, and wisdom. Dharma is the essential teachings to transform our mind towards that of an enlightened being. Learning and putting what we learn into practice helped us to become a better person. Dharma is for everyone, reading those stories as in the blog give us a clear understanding. Nor matter what religion we are , we are taught to be loving, compassion and living peacefully.
    Thank you Rinpoche for these great teachings.

    Generosity is giving more than we can, and pride is taking less than we need. Giving is an action; generosity is a matter of the heart. Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. Sharing one’s resources and helping others in need. We have not lived today until we have done something for someone who can never repay you. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article.

    n Buddhism, Dharma refers to the teachings of the Buddha and the true nature of reality. It also encompasses principles like the Eightfold Path, which guides individuals towards enlightenment and liberation from suffering. A Dharma attitude involves fulfilling one’s responsibilities and duties towards oneself, others, and the environment. Dharma work helps us to focus on benefiting others instead of ourselves. Each one of us has different ideas, approaches and methods to do dharma work. As long as its benefits others and
    taking responsibility for our own actions transforming others with love and generosity. It is important to embrace our imperfections as embracing puts us on a better path of acceptance and self-discovery.

    Buddhism is one of the most ancient belief systems and is practiced today by nearly 350 million people around the world.
    Bettany Mary Hughes is an English historian, author, and broadcaster, specialising in classical history. Bettany Hughes travelled to the seven wonders of the Buddhist world. Where she documented a unique insight into the seven wonders that explained the long and rich history of Buddhism 2500 years ago . Truly fascinating documentary that’s one should watch. Started off her journey with Bodh Gaya in India, the Bodanath Stupa in Nepal, the Temple of The Tooth in Sri Lanka, Wat Pho Temple in Thailand, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Giant Buddha in Hong Kong and the Hsi Lai Temple in the United States. At each location, she meets with Buddhist scholars who explain the different concepts that form the core of Buddhist philosophy, giving insight into the long and rich history of Buddhism. Interesting sharing.

    Religious discrimination remains a significant issue globally, impacting various aspects of life. The Dorje Shugden controversy in Tibetan Buddhism involves accusations of religious discrimination against devotees of the Poweful Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden was a powerful Protector associated with the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. H H the Dalai Lama previously practice Dorje Shugden’s practice but somehow later discouraged the practice, citing concerns about sectarianism ,its perceived role as a spirit. Dorje Shugden’s practitioners have reported feeling ostracized and discriminated against by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and those supporting the Dalai Lama. The controversy has divided the Tibetan community and has been a source of contention and tension. CTA had breached the rights of every Dorje Shugden practitioners to what they pray . Many families are torn apart by this. Dorje Shugden people had to break away from their monasteries .Religious freedom and human rights are interconnected. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion regardless of race and faith. Religious freedom is one of the most fundamental of human rights. The discrimination that Dorje Shugden practitioners are experiencing today has similarities to other historic bigotry and prejudices such example was the African American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s,and the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Racism affects virtually every country in the world. It denies people their full human rights just because of their colour, race, ethnicity, descent or national origin. The most prevalent discrimination that we see today are national origin and race discrimination. May there be peace,unity, harmony and based on compassion, acceptance and universal freedom of religious choice without discrimination or recriminations of any kind.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, India is said to be thousands of years old, built in the Dravidian style, and houses more secrets than most people can ever dream of. That’s interesting. This temple is a legendary secret chamber that has remained unopened for centuries. Legends and local beliefs it is protected by powerful deities and a curse. The door is said to be sealed with a mystical spell, and it is believed that anyone attempting to open it without proper rituals will face grave consequences, having met with mysterious deaths or terrible misfortune. Locals had warns that attempting to open Vault B without proper rituals and respect for the deities could unleash untold calamities and misfortune. Stories abound of previous attempts to open the vault had failed that resulted in terrifying visions and other supernatural occurrences, and tragic fates for those involved. Some believe that the vault contained ancient treasures , wealth and divine relics . Previously temple workers reportedly tried to force open the door, resulting in the terrifying experiences described in legends. It’s not just a place of worship but also a vault of mysteries. Modern attempts using technology have also failed to open the door, as if some force is protecting it. Every attempt to open Vault B has failed. The door remains closed, and no one know of the contents within, whether wealth, divine relics, or something else entirely, are unknown to the world . No one dare to try opening it since at least the 1880s recording to reports. Interesting article .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Revisit this interesting truth where not many people knew the actual story behind . With great effort and research finally the story unfolded. In Tibet, Oracles play, an important part in principal roles assisting governmental decision-making and providing intelligence revelation, religion, doctrine, and prophecy. To this day the Tibetan government still believe and rely in Nechung Oracle. When Nechung oracle took trance, it is actually spirit Nyatrul who has causes problems and misprophecies. Nechung is bound by oath to protect the Dharma. Nechung prophecies are unreliable, most probably given by Nyatrul spirit to the Tibetan government. Such as wrong medication given to the 13 th Dalai Lama as prescribed by the Nechung Oracle. Another misprophecies was during the British invasion. If it was really Nechung who took trance of the Oracle, these types of misprophecies would not have happen. As mentioned in the 6th Dalai Lama biography, we cannot trust or rely on Nechung’s prophecies. It was said that Nyatrul not Nechung who created the problems and harm to Dorje Shugden . It must have told HH the Dalai Lama to ban Dorje Shugden .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Jean Ai for this interesting article.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.

    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
