EDITORS COMMENTS
Sultan Sir Abu Bakar ibni Daing Ibrahim, also known as Sultan HH Abu Bakar of Johor, is depicted in this striking portrait photograph taken around 1890. Born in 1833, Abu Bakar was the ruler of Johor, the first state in Malaysia to adopt the constitutional monarchy system. He is considered a key figure in the modernization and reform of Johor during the late 19th century. Abu Bakar's leadership brought significant changes to Johor, including the implementation of the Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Johor (Johor State Constitution) in 1895. This document, written by Sultan Abu Bakar himself, established a modern administrative system based on European and Western models, marking a turning point in the political development of Malaysia. In this portrait, Sultan Abu Bakar is seen wearing a trilby hat and European-style attire, reflecting the influence of Western culture during this period. The Sultan's regal presence and commanding gaze convey his authority and determination as a leader. Abu Bakar's reforms and modernization efforts laid the foundation for Johor's continued growth and development into the 20th century. As the first Malay monarch to embrace Western ideas and institutions, Sultan HH Abu Bakar of Johor stands as a symbol of the complex and dynamic history of Malaysia. His legacy as a reformer and constitutional monarch continues to inspire and influence the country's political landscape to this day.
