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.

    Vajrayogini symbolizes the wisdom of all enlightened beings and embodies the impulse of inspiration that drives the Buddhas to attain the perfect enlightenment. Vajrayogini is one of the most effective practices for people today. We can make offerings such as gold or jewel offerings and so on. The offering of gold helps us to collect merits, spiritual attainments, gain a deeper connection to Vajrayogini. It also creates the causes to attain a Buddha’s body.
    Make Offerings to Vajrayogini in Kechara Forest Retreat at Bentong is such an meritorious way for us to collect merits. All thanks to our Guru having conceptualised the idea of having a statue of Vajrayogini for everyone . Recitation of Vajrayogini mantra can be a powerful tool for self-transformation, healing and liberation from samsara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with details explanation .

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this insightful article. Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.What ever matter to us at the time of death is nothing. In the end, it’s not the years in our life that count it’s what you leave behind that matters. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Learning Dharma and practicing dharma is the our choice that’s matter. Some of the key points to take notes, read, study the Lam Rim and apply it, engage in Sadhana daily and consistently. No one will help us at the moment of death but ourselves. Spiritual practicing is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Well the size of Buddha statues in Tibetan Buddhism is important because it represents the Buddha’s immense ability and vast knowledge. Hence the Buddha statues hold the symbol of satisfaction within, peace and happiness. They are a symbol of inspiration for every human being. When we focus on the Buddha statues, it gives us inner peace that our mind, our heart and our soul gets enlightened.
    We have are so fortunate seeing and circumambulating where the 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue and with 500 mantra stones engraved with Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra. As Rinpoche had said before the bigger and more Buddha statues helps in planting seeds of enlightenment in people’s mind-streams. It also help us to generate as much merit and purify as much karma as possible. Merely by seeing all those big statues at Kechara Forest Retreat is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    The 4th Tagpu Pemavajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub, most commonly known as Tagpu Dorje Chang, was a highly accomplished yogi Highly attained lama who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas and even travel astrally to receive direct teachings from them. His recognised line of incarnations stem all the way back to the 14th Century. He is generally regarded as such amongst Gelug lineage holders. He spent most of his time in a hermitage located above Sera Monastery, gave teachings and transmitted many vital practices and lineages to his foremost student Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Besides receiving the complete instructions of Dorje Shugden’s practice, Tagpu Dorje Chang had many other mystical experiences throughout his lifetime. Interesting read biography of a highly accomplished mahasiddha lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

    Reading this post had me gain some knowledge of Shifter Werewolves. Any article regarding rare creatures or paranormal articles are of my interest since young. In European folklore, a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day.They have the ability to transform from an ordinary human appearance to a partially-lupine form with pointed ears, mutton chops, claws and fangs, and a ridged brow . Wow… werewolf tends to be vicious and unable to control his blood thirst. Their underlying common origin can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European mythology. In many depictions, these bloodthirsty beasts are evil where they kill animals and innocent people. They are humans who transition into wolf-like creatures, after being placed under a curse. In folklore, most werewolves originate from being cursed or bitten by another werewolf. That’s what they do believe. According many enthusiasts, there’s many different type of werewolves such as Alpha wolves, Beta wolves , Deltas, Elders, some survive as loners while others move in packs. How true it is no one knows. I do believe their existing . Many interesting stories related to these wolves in the past history.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Beautiful Dorje Shugden at Malacca. One should pay a visit there, located at a busy tourist place. It was such an auspicious occasion that a grand Puja was held there. Dedicated students and volunteers were there getting the place ready for the grand puja. Well the Grand Dorje Shugden puja was conducted by very own Kechara puja team to commemorate the chapel’s 3rd anniversary. Many people attended the Puja that’s wonderful to receive the powerful Protector Dorje Shugden blessings. More people will make a connection and get to know Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, in the form of a Dharma Protector. May Dorje Shugden’s practice flourish to benefit those tourists and locals.

    Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche is a highly realised meditation master known as a debater, scholar, and meditation master, was the first Tibetan Buddhist master to introduce the complete Vinaya-tradition. He had also introduce the study of the five major topics of Buddhism to the West. He became the ‘path breaker’ of the complete and complex teachings of Buddhism in the West. Many masters, who are famous in the West today, were Geshe’s students. enerable Geshe Rabten. Geshe Rabten wrote the beautiful and Manjushri’s prayer called Gangloma and gave a profound explanation. We are so fortunate to learn about this Manjushri’s sacred prayer. May all be blessed by the practice of Lord Manjushri and Geshe Rabten’s explanation.

    The begging bowl or alms bowl is one of the simplest but most important objects in the daily lives of Theravada Buddhist monks. The alms bowl still stands as an emblem of how all Buddhas, as numerous as grains of sand in the Ganges, practiced to end their desire. All those who receive the alms bowl should focus their mind to act with self-control and self-respect. Almsgiving is a tradition of Theravada Buddhists, majority in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Laos. In those early days of Buddhism, monks would take their bowls and go out begging for food. As today in Thailand one could see monks woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, through the generosity of lay people. They accept whatever food is offered for them and eat whatever been given, serve as a blessing for the giver.
    One bowl has held the food of a thousand families. A solitary monastic travels on his journey of a hundred thousand miles seeking liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
    Thank you H.E. Tsem Rinpoche for explaining the meaning of begging and gave us more reasons to be vegetarian . Create a awareness among us not killing animals to be one.

    The Tibetan diaspora began in 1959 after the People’s Liberation Army entered the country. Thousands of Tibetan and the Dalai Lama fled into exile to India. The Indian government led by Jawaharlal Nehru kind enough to offer land which was scattered throughout the country. The Tibetans as refugees on which the Tibetans would be able to reestablish themselves. After 60 years of protests, campaigns and fundraising, the Tibetan movement has not been fruitful, increase the living welfare condition and Tibetans continue to depend on the kindness of their host countries. Due to these many Tibetan in exile left India to elsewhere and other countries seeking a better future. In the last 60 years, the Tibetan leadership have not been successful in making progress with their political goals. Surprisingly the Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama said in an interview published letter that Europe has accepted “too many” refugees . While there is many protests and attempts to pressure Europe to accept more refugees.
    Further more the unethical ban against Shugden making life more difficult for many Dorje Shugden practitioners . Because of the ban against Dorje Shugden the whole Tibetan Buddhist world is divided until now. May all be harmonious soon even recently .Dalai Lama had said we could practice Interesting read. Interesting read.

    The Kalmyks are the only traditionally Buddhist people living within Europe. As Tibetan Buddhists, the Kalmyks regard the Dalai Lama as their spiritual leader. Kalmykia is a historical crossroads on the Silk Road. The Western Mongol Kalmyk tribes. The Kalmyks live primarily in the Republic of Kalmykia, a federal subject of Russia located in the southeast European part of Russia. The Kalmyks are the only inhabitants of Europe whose national religion is Buddhism. They embraced Buddhism in the early part of the 17th century and belong to the Tibetan Buddhist. Like other Mongols, the Kalmyk are very spiritual Tibetan Buddhists, but their Buddhism has a strong admixture of indigenous beliefs and shamanistic practices. Buddhism spread among Mongols during the time of the Mongol Empire. They have come a long way till now, with rich traditions in song, dance, music, arts and a powerful heritage ,strong convictions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting information of the hidden Kalmykia society.

    Thaipusam is a Tamil Hindu festival celebrated on the first full moon day of the Tamil month. The festival is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Hindu God Murugan over the demon Surapadman. The festival commemorates the triumph of good over evil by many devotees throughout Malaysia. For Hindus, Thaipusam is a day to cleanse oneself of sins and to repent for any transgressions in the past year.Devotees place a great deal of emphasis on the Vel. Silver, gold, lead, copper, and iron which is the five metals. It is said to be able to absorb all negative energy, spread positivity, and destroy all dangerous energies. Wearing yellow during Thaipusam as Lord Murugan’s favourite colour. Well Yellow is also associated with new beginnings, peace and happiness. On that day many devotees will be wearing yellow in color. Devotees will carry heavy ornate structures called kavadis while others have their tongues, cheeks and backs pierced with hooks and skewers. They then walk barefoot up 272 steps to the Batu Caves temple. Women devotees will carry the milk pots on that day. Thousands of locals and tourist from around the world of different faith will be there to witness this auspicious festival.

    Dorje Shugden controversy began when the Dalai Lama made successive attempts to wrongly assert the nature of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to be a harmful spirit. The great lineage masters such as Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s teachings are amongst the greatest dharma that forms the foundation of Gelugpa education. As confirmed that Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. They cant be wrong . Dorje Shugden via the Panglung oracle had helped the Dalai Lama in his great escape out of Tibet. There are so many highly attained lamas who practices Dorje Shugden and their reincarnations have been coming back again and again. Even 5th Dalai Lama composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden and built a Protector chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden as well. That’s Trode Khangsar in Central Lhasa which is still there. The ban of Dorje Shugden is unnecessary and illogical as the bigger purpose of Dorje Shugden,is the preservation of the Dharma. The Tibetan Leadership (CTA) has instituted this ban against Dorje Shugden for many years and its time to lift the ban. May more people read and understand the ban and the real reason behind this controversy.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing this post.

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.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    7 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
