THE DUTCH IN PERAK. 259 
Besar. But when the Sultan was restored to Brahman Indra by the Yang 
di per Tuan Muda, Sultan MOHAMED SHAH, and the Raja Muda, Raja Ka- 
LIM remained behind at Kuala Kangsa and did not remove with the Sultan; 
and when Sultan BAKABAT attacked Bukit Gantang, Raja KHALIM took no 
part in the measures taken for resisting him, but remained perfectly passive. 
When the Sultan heard this report, he was extremely angry with Raja Kua- 
LIM and he ordered the Raja Muda to turn him out of Kuala Kangsa. The 
latter brought him down the river to the Sultan’s presence and afterwards to 
Pulo Tiga before the Yan 2 di per Tuan Muda. He was allowed to live at 
Pulo Tiga and afterwards went to Tanjong Putus, where he planted hill- -padi, 
but he still refused to mix with the other princes of the royal family who 
were in attendance on the Raja Muda (ail young Rajas in Perak being under 
the Raja Muda’s orders) and he plotted with a certain Inche KHASIL, a. 
Harua, ( whose daughter he asked in pease and associated with all sorts 
of bad characters—Bucis, Harua, and others. When Sultan MozAraAr SHAH 
heard the character of Raja KHALIM’S ens he was more than ever in- 
censed against him. Raja KHALIM went up the river on one occasion from 
Tanjong Putus with the object of fetching his wife and children from Pulo 
Tiga and taking them back to Tanjong Putus. When he reached Pulo Tiga 
With all his followers, information was given to the Sultan, who ordered the 
Raja Muda and the Chiefs to prevent their removal, for his wife (whom he 
wanted to take away down the river) was the daughter of Raja DAHA (who 
was called Raia Kechik Muda) and niece of the Sultan and of Sultan Mona- 
MED SHAH. The Raja Muda and the Chiefs opposed Raja KHALIM accord- 
ingly and the latter resisted them and there was fighting for seven days. Raja 
KHALIM then retreated and went from Bukit Lada to Sungei Dedap and 
thence back again to Tanjong Putus. There he lived quietly in Inche KHASIL’s 
house and married his daughter. Still bent on opposition, he assembled men 
at Tanjong Putus, whom he bound by oaths of fidelity, and planned an attack 
upon the Raja Muda at Pulo Tiga. The men of Tanjong Putus were divided, 
half joing Raja KHALIM, and the other half being unwilling to be disloyal 
to Sultan MozArar SHAH and the Raja Muda. While these proceedings 
were going on, information was carried to the Sultan, who wrote a letter 
which he desired might be conveyed to the Dutch Captain, but not a man 
knew the contents of it. After it had reached the Dutch Captain, Raja 
KHALIM happened to come to him oneday to getsome dollars in exchange (for 
tin ? ). The Captain took him into the brick factory, and the will of God wasac- 
complished upon his servant, who was not permitted tosinanylonger. Raja 
KHALIM was received by the Hollanders and taken on board their sloop, in 
which he was immediately conveyed to Malacca. Inche KHASIL too was 
subsequently seized by the Hollanders and taken to Malacca, and by order 
of the Raja of Malacca was thrown into a dungeon (gedong gélap). All 
that were left submutved to the alia. 4

“ Soon ae Sultan Monitent SHA had returned from Kuala Kangsa, he 
started again down the river to Tanjong Putus, attended by the Raja Muda 
and all the young Rajas, the Chiefs, hulubalangs and ryots. Whenhe reached 
Tanjong Putus, the Laksamana and Shahbandar and all the inhabitants and 
- traders of the place assembled and presented themselves before His Highness 
and the Raja Muda, and brought offerings and presents of al! kinds in quantity 
innumerable. The Dutch Captain too waited upon the Sultan with presents. 
After spending a few days at Tanjong Putus in amusement with his followers, 
the Sultan returned to Brahman Indra.
