Linggi River, bounded upstream by Kuala Selebu, downstream by 
Bukit Tiga and Sungai Serban, and inland by Tampin Kechil 
opposite Permatang Pasir. Within these frontiers they govern 
themselves, and are allowed to marry their cousins even to this day. 
They recognize however a certain vassalage both to Rernbau and to 
Sungai Ujong, — beribu kapada Rernbau, berbapa ka-SungaA U jong, 
— and are .expected to furnish assistance to the rulers of those 
countries, should they ever desire to visit Malacca. The year of 
this Settlement is said to have been 1783 A.D. and. helps us to 
date both Dato’ Klana Delia and Dato’ Uban of Rernbau. The 
leaders of the settlers were Dato’ Awaludin and his sister, Dato' 
Sri. At a later date (1798 A.D.) the present site of the village 
of Linggi was opened by To’ Lebai Dulaman who received the title 
of Penghulu. He was a grandson of Dato’ Sri. He was succeeded 
by To’ .1 uragan Abdu’r-Rahman, his paternal uncle, who died 
about 1824 A.D. The next chief of Linggi Muhammad Atas was 
a Rernbau man who had married a daughter of To’ Juragan Abdu’r- 
Rahman, but he was styled only To’ Muda. This To’ Muda Katas, 
as he was called, played an important part in local politics at the 
time of the Naning War and did much to thwart the ambition of 
Saiyid Shaaban. In A.D. 1833 the village of Kuala Linggi was 
founded by settlers from Langat. The successors of To’ Muda 
Katas have been 
2. To’ Muda Haji Muhammad Saleh, 
3. To’ Muda Muhammad Peral, 
4. To’ Muda Muhammad Bastam. 
We now come to the titles of the officers attached to the court 
of the Klana and Bandar. Two of these are of the first importance. 
The Dato’ Laksamana Raja di-laut is the chief minister of 
the Klana; indeed his office is regarded as a stepping-stone to the 
rulership. He is, of course, a member of the inner circle of the 
tcaris-di-darat. He receives the envoys of foreign chiefs as well 
as the magnates of his own state, and is entitled himself to certain 
marks of high rank — a spear and a black flag ( tunggul ). The 
dignity was created by Dato’ Klana Ivawal and its holders have been 
1. Sinding, afterwards Klana; 
2. Saiyid Aman, afterwards Klana; 
3. Nadim, deposed for recognizing Tengku Antah; 
4. Puput ; 
5. Ahad (the present holder). 
The Dato’ Pengliina Besar holds in the Bandar’s Court the 
position that the Dato’ Laksamana holds in the Ivlana’s. The pre- 
sent Bandar was Peaglima Besar to his predecessor.
