I'm the 1st Sultan of Modern Johor, the 21st Sultan of Johor and the first Maharaja of Johor from the House of Temenggong. I was noted for my diplomatic skills and an avid traveller. I became the first Malay ruler to travel to Europe during my first visit to England in 1866. I'm also an Anglophile and many of my personal habits and decisions were aligned to European ideas and tastes. I became the sovereign ruler of Johor when my father died in 1862.
