Serious Sultan's Descendant's HDB Flat In Punggol On Fire! 55 People Had To Flee For Their Lives! Guess Reason For Fire!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE – A fire broke out in a five-room Housing Board flat in Punggol owned by the descendant of a sultan on Saturday morning.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire at Block 641A Punggol Drive at about 11.10am. The fire broke out in a bedroom in the second-floor unit.

About 55 people from the affected block had evacuated before SCDF arrived.


The fire was extinguished using a water jet and there were no reported injuries.

Preliminary investigation into the cause of the fire indicates that it was of electrical origin, SCDF said.

The flat’s owner, Tengku Abrahim, 49, told Lianhe Zaobao that he was not home when the fire broke out and does not know what caused the fire in the master bedroom.

He said his 90-year-old father-in-law, who has limited mobility, was in the room at the time. Fortunately, his brother and nephew managed to evacuate the elderly man to a neighbour’s unit in time.

The owner’s brother, Tengku Sulong, 64, told Lianhe Zaobao that they used a fire extinguisher, but could not put out the fire even after using up the whole canister.

According to the Chinese daily, the brothers are the sixth-generation descendants of Sultan Hussein Shah, the first sultan of Singapore in the 19th century.

In a post on Facebook on Saturday, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP Yeo Wan Ling said her team is supporting the affected family.

Too bad for them their ancestor was not sultan of a mudland state. Sultan of SG means nothing, because SG royalty is Lee.

[Balls2U]

In Sinkieland, a Mat will always be a Mat. He should count himself lucky that he can stay in a spacious 5 room HDB flat. After 6 generations, all the wealth had been squandered and depleted. So he's no different from Syed Putra.

 

[countryman]

How come no bodyguard standing outside to guard the Sultan's house?

 

[laksaboy]

Reinstate him to the Istana and get that overpaid PAP puppet out.

 

[syed putra]

Make sultan president for life.
But how did he become sultan?
the last descendant of malacca sultanate on johore side was buried in batam or bintan.
The bugis took over the sultanate as none of the surviving relatives wanted the post.
The other half still retain the Perak sultanate. Even then, they ceded selangor to bugis warlords.

Ok. I found this.

JohorTreaty is signed

On 10 March 1855, William Butterworth, who was then the governor of the Straits Settlements, officiated at the signing of a treaty held in Singapore in which Tengku Ali ceded sovereignty over Johor (except Muar) to Temenggong Daing Ibrahim in return for a lump sum payment of 5,000 Spanish dollars, a fixed monthly allowance of 500 Spanish dollars and titular recognition as Sultan of Johor.[1]

Tengku Ali was the eldest son of Sultan Hussein Shah, who had a hand in the founding of modern Singapore when he, together with Temenggong Abdul Rahman, authorised the British East India Company to set up a trading post on the island through the 1819 treaty signed with Sir Stamford Raffles. When Sultan Hussein died in 1835, the British were against the formal recognition of Tengku Ali, then 11 years old, as heir in view of his youth and the fact that the late sultan held little political influence.[2] In 1840, the British colonial government issued a proclamation that pronounced Tengku Ali as successor, but this move merely entitled to him all the property belonging to his late father and did not amount to his inheritance of the sultanate.[3]

The British were wary of installing Tengku Ali as sultan in light of the superior influence of Temenggong Daing Ibrahim, the second son of Temenggong Abdul Rahman.[4] Daing Ibrahim was installed as Temenggong of Johor at New Harbour, Singapore, in the presence of George Bonham, who was then the governor of the Straits Settlements, and the Bendahara of Pahang, on 19 August 1841.[5] Daing Ibrahim’s appointment as Temenggong of Johor established him as the chief of the Malay community in Singapore and affirmed his de facto rule over mainland Johor.[6] In contrast to Tengku Ali, who was in heavy debt, the enterprising Daing Ibrahim derived considerable revenue from his monopoly on the gutta percha trade.[7]

The growing prosperity of Johor in the 1840s led Tengku Ali to demand a share of the state revenue in addition to his appeals for recognition as sultan.[8] The issue threatened the peace of the Malayan peninsula as the Sultan of Lingga, the Sultan of Terengganu and the young nobility of Johor backed Tengku Ali, while the Bendahara of Pahang allied himself with Daing Ibrahim.[9] Moreover, members of the mercantile community in Singapore, namely William Read, William Kerr, William Patterson and Henry Simmons, became embroiled in the situation. Read advised Tengku Ali on his claims, while the other three men supported Daing Ibrahim.[10]

In facilitating the Johor Treaty of 1855, the British colonial government not only sought to put the longstanding dispute to rest, but also to curb the meddling in native politics by commercial interests in Singapore.[11] More importantly, the British sought to forestall major hostility between the Malay states, which would not only disrupt trade and encourage piracy, but also affect the economic position of Singapore.[12]

So Sultan Hussein was 18th Sultan of johore riau Sultanate.

Sultan Hussein Mua'zzam Shah ibni Mahmud Shah Alam[4] (1776 – 5 September 1835)[5] was the 18th ruler of Johor-Riau.[6] He signed two treaties with Britain which culminated in the founding of modern Singapore; during which he was nominally given recognition by the British as the Sultan of Johor and Singapore in 1819 and the Sultan of Johor in 1824.[7]

This is hilarious.
What's even more hilarious is that there are sultans or setans, whatever the case may be, need kickbacks for their Mercedes.

Typical melayu

 

[mojito]

HDB flats are so luxurious they are fit for a sultan.

 

[red amoeba]

Will the Johor sultan grant them some land in Johor as a result ?

 

[syed putra]

Will the Johor sultan grant them some land in Johor as a result ?

Johore treaty states that sultan ceded johore state for 5000 Spanish dollar snd 500 spanish dollar monthly allowance to bugis warlords.
So no way jose as it may complicate matters,
