Everything about Temenggong totally explained
Temenggung or
Temenggong is an ancient
Malay title of nobility, usually given to the chief of public security. The Temenggung is usually responsible for the safety of the monarch as well as the state police and army. The office was usually a stepping stone to the higher title of
Bendahara, or
prime minister.
In the
Sultanate of Johor, the Temenggung was of the head of state between
1760 and
1873. The full rendition was
Temenggung Seri Maharaja. Although the Temenggung was the head of the state's administration, the Temenggung held the kingdom of
Johor and
Singapore by virtue of his being a
vassal of the sultan, who resided in
Riau. During that time, the sultan was practically a puppet. In 1873,
Temenggung Abu Bakar declared himself as a
maharaja and become an independent ruler. In 1885, he assumed the title of
sultan.
