Recent works on the Malay world in the period before 1800, largelycon-
cerned with the compilation and analysis of previouslyunpublished material,
have made available several case studies of specifickingdoms.2 Unfortunately,
despite the obvious gaps still remaining,the limitationsof known documentary
evidenceare becomingapparentand it is quite possible thatthe historyof certain
Malay states may never be satisfactorily reconstructed.3 Nonetheless,the on-
goingcontemporary research,by wideningthe scope forcomparisonand contrast,
is providinga more solid basis forgeneralisationsabout the natureof pre-colonial
Malay society. Whileat timessuchresearchmayquestionthevalidityofcommon-
ly advanced arguments,it may, on otheroccasions, supportaccepted theoriesby
supplyingdetailed evidence and particularexamples. It is in the latterdirection
thatthis paper is oriented.
The position of foreigners,notably Indians, as intermediariesbetween
Europeans and trading princes in the Indonesian archipelago has long been
recognised,4and a numberof historianshave singledout the post of Syahbandar,
one oftenheld by Indians, as being vital in the commercialrelationshipbetween
incoming traders and the court.5 The followingdiscussion is an attemptto
carrythe investigationa step further. Through an examinationof the officeof
saudagar raja, the king's merchant,it aims to elucidate the role played by one
type of Indian, the Muslim trader,in the political and economic life of Malay
courtsduringthe 17thand 18thcenturies.
In seeking firstto make some general commentsabout the nature of the
saudagar raja position,one is hindered by fact that relevantinformationis not

easily located. On the one hand, while Europeans at the time may have been
interestedin a certainroyalmerchantin a certaincourt,the presentauthorknows
of no account whichtriesto collate commentsfromdifferent places and periods.
On the otherhand, Malay sources are even less informative than the records of
European trading companies. Court texts, though referringfrequentlyto the
presence of traders and the wealth of the ruler, contain disappointinglyfew
details about the actual mechanics of royal trade. No clear indicationcan be
gained, for instance,of when the saudagar raja firstemerged as an established
post withinthe Malay court hierarchy. Looking for some precedentin India,
fromwhence the Malay world derived many of its commercialpractices,one is
struckby the apparentabsence of a preciselyequivalentoffice,althoughindividual
merchantsoftenacted as agentsfor Indian princesand nobles.6 The systemas
it existedin Indian principalitiesis moreakin to thatprevailingin pre-Portuguese
Melaka, where selected traderswere delegated to conduct trade on the ruler's
behalf.7 The title of saudagar raja itselfdoes not appear in either Malay or
European sources describingMelaka, and it seems that the royal agents there
were employed on a casual basis withoutbeing accorded any officialstanding
in the court. But by the 17thcentury,and possiblyearlier,it had become desira-
ble forMalay rulersto institutionalise an officewhose holder would be entrusted
with all the ruler's business transactions. Indeed, one of the virtues of the
position may have been its very lack of traditionalprecedent,which meant it
could be adaptedto circumstancewithoutoffending courtprotocol. The saudagar
raja might thus be the sole person authorised to act on behalfof the king; in some
places the post was combined with that of Syahbandar;8in othershe shared his
officewithanother,or headed a group of royalmerchants.9
While it is impossible to ascertainthe exact origins of the saudagar raja,
referencesto royal merchantsrecur repeatedlyin informationdating fromthe
17thand 18thcentury. No doubtthisstemsin partfromthe increasingEuropean
documentationregardingthe Malay world, and one might also speculate that
Malay rulersimitatedthe customadopted by European Companies of employing
European or Asian representatives, witha titleand emolument. It seems equally
to
feasible,however, suggest that the growingimportanceof the saudagar raja
is relatedto the development of a number of Malay statesafterabout 1600 where
the economy was dominated by the ruler.10

Of course, royal participationin trade was not per se new. In the grea,
emporium of Malay Melaka, despite a large group of independentmerchantst
the Sultan had still been one of the most prominenttraders. He owned many
vessels of his own, charteredmore junks than any other Melaka resident,and
was said to have a sharein the cargoofeveryjunk whichleftport.11 Two hundred
years later a similar patterncan be observed in establishedentrepotslike Johor
and Aceh, wherethe trade of the rulersrivalledthat of theirwealthiestsubjects.
Sultan Abdul Jalil of Johor(1623-1677), for example, sent his own ships to the
portsof Coromandeland as far afieldas Taiwan,12while Sultan Iskandar Muda
of Aceh (1607-1636) also traded directlywith India. So extensivewere Sultan
Iskandar's commercialactivities,in fact,thata Frenchvisitorto Aceh characterised
him simplyas 'a great trader'.13
One could go on to argue that in the majorityof Malay states at this time
the royal element in the country'seconomic life was even more pronounced.
In mostplaces the portwas not so much a clearinghouse forexoticgoods, a mart
in the Melaka tradition,14as a pointofexportforlocal products- gold,tin,pepper,
rice, elephants,rattans. When trade was thus concentratedon a relativelyfew
commoditieson which the economydepended, the ruler's interestswere usually
paramount. It was he who dictatedthe natureand extentof tradein these items,
who imposedtaxes and tolls on theirsale, and who in some cases held an exclusive
monopoly. The royalrightto assume controlover any productif he so desired
was almostimpossibleto challenge. A rulerlike Sultan Mansur Syah of Tereng-
ganu (1741-1793), described by a French captain in 1769 as '[the] kingdom's
onlymerchant',15 mightprotestto the Dutch that Terengganu'spepper belonged
to his subjects, but if the attractionwere sufficiently
great he could unilaterally
promise to deliver the entirecrop to the VOC.16 In the same mannerthe Sultan
of Perak announced in 1773 that henceforthhe would monopolise all sales of
opium, a policywhichwas continuedby his successor.17 The situationin Kedah
in 1770 can probablybe consideredfairlytypical. Accordingto Francis Light,
'the king engrossesall tin and opium to himself. Of other things he buys as
much as he thinksproper'.18 Though naturallya ruler's claims to controlof
trade did not always correspondwith reality,the experiencedEnglish country

The task of furthering royaltrade was assigned to all saudagar raja , but his
influencecould also extend outside the limits of strictlycommercial matters.
Here, however,his authorityvaried accordinglyto the ambitions of the man
himself,his relationshipwith the ruler,his standingin the court,and the parti-
cular circumstancesofthe time. The royalmerchantwho had the trustof Aceh's
mightySultan Iskandar Muda wielded such power in consequence that 'all men
stood in awe of him'37 His counterpartselsewherewere oftenalmostas influen-
tial. The ruler might seek the advice of his saudagar in decisions related to
foreignpolicy; the king's merchantcould be givenjurisdictionover certainareas,
or permitted to write letters in the Sultan's name, like Tomas Dias in
Minangkabau.38 In charge of royal trade, the saudagar raja might be given
responsibilityforthe ruler'sotherpossessions. In 1788,forinstance,the saudagar
raja of Kedah wroteto Francis Light requestinghelp in capturinga palace servant
who had stolen some of the Sultan's propertyand had fled to Penang.39 The
saudagar raja, as the king's personal appointee, frequentlybecame the royal
confidant,entrustedwith highlydelicate affairsinvolvingother states. In 1718
Raja Kecil, a Minangkabauprincewho had usurpedpowerin Johor,senta mission
to Dutch Melaka which included his saudagar raja, a merchantfromBengkalis.
Fiftyyearslaterthe saudagarraja of Perak was chosen as the emissaryto Selangor
in orderto determineopinion concerninga sensitiveroyalmarriage.40
Yet though such non-commercialactivitieswere sometimeswide-ranging,
the raisond'êtreforthe saudagar raja was economic. He was above all to act as
the brokerbetweenthe outsideworldand the court,the middlemanwho smoothed
the path so that trade could be carried out amicably. A prime requisite for
candidates to the officewas obviously an extensiveknowledgeof business, and
those appointedwere usually well knowntraderswithyearsof experiencebehind
them. Equally decisive, however,was an applicant's abilityto converse easily
with other merchants,both European and Asian.41 Few Malays would have
been qualified in either respect. Professor Meilink has remarked that the
Malay ruling class in Melaka held itself apart from commercial activities
and the evidence shows that most of the wealthymerchantsthere were Indians
or Javanese.42 Again, while the nobles in 17th centuryJohoracted as sponsors
for trading voyages,the principal traders were either Chinese or Indians, and
in other places such as Aceh, Kedah and Perak the 'merchants'were almost

Secondly, the demand for the economic expertise which Muslim Indians
could supply increased throughthe 16th centuryas Hindu shipping declined.
By the 17th centurymost of the commercebetween India and the Malay archi-
pelago had fallen into the hands of Indian Muslims, primarilythose fromthe
south. In the words of an English trader,Thomas Bowrey
The Chulias [Southern Indian Muslims, especially from Coromandel]
are a people that range into all the kingdomsand countriesof Asia ...
They are a verygreat hindranceto us ... They have crept into Ujung
Salang, Bantan,Achin, Kedah, Johor,Siam and manyother places.58
Operatingwitha low profitmargin,functioningas partof a chain whichstretched
fromAfricato China, the 'Moors' were widely acknowledgedas the most able
tradersin the eastern seas.59 Often sons and grandsons of traders, they were
heirsto a long mercantiletraditionand had been raised in an environmentwhich
regardedcommerceas an honourable profession. As the Dutch commanderof
Cochin (Malabar) commentedin 1766, Tt is knownhow much the Muslims are
attachedto trade'.60
Malay rulersclearlyrecognisedthe specificskillsand experiencewhich made
such men eminentlysuited to the positionof saudagar raja. Their sophisticated
businesstechniqueswere withoutparallelin the Malay world,and in 1759 a VOC
envoyto Terengganuremarkedthatthe only 'true merchant'he met therewas a
Muslim Indian resident.61 Eyewitness descriptionsfrom elsewhere attest the
degree to which the economy of most Malay states hinged on the commercial
acumen of Indian Muslims, especially fromthe Coromandel Coast. In Aceh,
for instance,Chulias dominatedtrade in the capital and along the Pedir coast,
as well as servingas the ruler'sclerks,portofficials,and ship captains.62
Malay kings also realised that these Indian Muslim traders could tap the
resourcesof a complexcommercialnetworkand had access to largesums of money
which could be used to supply creditand grantconcessionsbeyond the reach of
theirrivals.63 The Malay stereotypeof the Keling merchantas a man wealthier

than 'ten Malay kings'64was of some significancein courts where the saudagar
raja was oftenexpected, should the ruler's financesbe pressed, to draw on his
personalfundsto shoreup royalpurchases.643.If a 'Moor' held the post,it could
be assumed that capital would almost always be available. This was not an
unjustifiedassumption,as Francis Light found in his dealings with the Chulia
saudagar raja Jamal of Kedah. In 1788, when Light asked Jamal to buy rice,
oxen, wood, cotton,and poultryforhim on credit,the merchant,thoughlacking
sufficientready cash himself,was able to borrow 1,500 reals from a wealthy
acquaintance.65
Another practical skill contributingto Muslim Indian dominance of the
saudagar raja post in the 17th and 18th centurieswas their knowledge of the
languagesnecessaryto carryout trade and conductdiplomacywitha wide variety
of people. In theirhomelandtheymoved in a cosmopolitan,multilingualsociety,
and the fluencyof Indians generallyhad become legendaryamongst Malays.
The Hikayat Hang Tuah, recountingthe arrivalof a Keling merchantin Melaka,
remarksthat he was not only wealthybut was Very sweetlyspoken and knew
many languages'.66 Accordingto the Hikayat Banjar, a Keling who was 'head
of the king's tradingcaptains' was famed for his knowledgeof 'Arabic, Persian,
Dutch, Malay, Chinese, and Javanese,all of which he had mastered'.67 In the
late 17thcenturyThomas Bowreysimilarlynotedthe diligencewithwhichChulias
'do learnto writeand speak severalof the easternlanguages',and a Dutch report
on Perak in 1777 mentionsthatthe ruler's personal scribe was a 'Moor', respon-
sible for dealing with all royal correspondence.68 Masteryof Malay, the lingua
francaof the region,was clearlyvital fortradingpurposes,but a Chulia saudagar
raja in Aceh, Po Saleh, also knew Acehnese.69 Nor did the migrantIndian
settlements whichgrewup in a numberof Malay statesforgettheirmothertongue.
Munshi Abdullah, describing the Keling mercantilecommunityin late 18th
centuryMelaka, recordedthat it was customaryforthe childrento learn Tamil

For those who came to the Malay world in search of a prestigewhich theyhad
presumablyfailedto achieve at home therewas alwaysthe possibilitythat a man
could ťrisefromnothing',like the Tamil who had become treasurerof Melaka.80
The saudagar raja post, because it required very specificskills, and because it
was one of the few titlesin the traditionalMalay court which was not inherited,
enabledambitiousoutsidersto obtainconsiderablepoliticalinfluence. A merchant
who attractedthe king'snotice and gained his trustcould become a man of great
prestige. In 1599 the rulerof Aceh's secretarywas actingas the royalrepresen-
tativein negotiationswithEuropeans,but 17 yearslaterhe had risento the position
of saudagar raja with an officialtitle and the authority'the king's goods to sell
and power to receive all the king's customs past and to come'.81 The Chulia
Datuk Sri Raja, Kedah's royal merchantin 1786 had, claimed Light, once been
'a common coolie' but was now one of the most powerfulmen in the country.82
When Forrestvisited Aceh in 1775 Po Saleh was Syahbandar,but by 1784 he
was 'king's merchantand prime minister',though he was less than thirtyyears
old.83
The degree of power wielded by these Muslim Indian tradersis a tribute
to theirown capacities and to the potentialitiesof the post itself. By virtueof
his officethe saudagar raja , whateverhis origins,was entitledto a voice in the
Assemblyof Nobles, and if he was a persuasivespeakerhe could oftensway the
court's decisions. The Dutch resident in Perak in 1689 described such an
Assemblywhen 'the king and his nobles gatheredtogether... and the 'Moor'
Saudagar Raja, or Sedelebe, sat by the side of our interpreter'.84Sedelebe
complained that he had not received paymentfor tin he had delivered to the
Dutch. So convincingwere his argumentsthatthe rulerwas readyto confiscate
the tin on a Chinese ship about to depart for Melaka as compensationfor the
merchant'salleged loss.85 On this occasion Sedelebe met resistancefromthe
Bendahara,but the authorityof manyroyal merchantselsewherewas sufficiently
entrenchedto make opposition extremelydifficult. Po Saleh of Aceh had his
own privatearmyof about 200 Indian mercenaries,and it was said that he was
somehowresponsible,or at least implicated,in the death of Sultan Mahmud in
1781. Three years afterthe succession of the new ruler, Sultan Alauddin, Po
Saleh was in total control of government,being 'much in Sultan Alauddin's
favour'and spendingmost of his time at the palace.86 Po Saleh's contemporary,
