Hussin Kamaluddin (Jawi: حسين کمالالدین) or also known as Sultan Kamaluddin Malik Al Dzahir,[1] was the 16th Sultan of Brunei.[2] He ascended the throne in 1710 succeeding his cousin, Sultan Nasruddin and ruled until his abdication in 1730. After the demise of Sultan Muhammad Alauddin in 1737, Sultan Hussin Kamaluddin ascended to the throne for the second time until his abdication in 1740.
Background[edit]
His Highness was the son of Muhammad Ali, the 12th Sultan of Brunei. His three daughters, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Putri,Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Noralam and Pengiran Isteri Pengiran Anak Bongsu were married to Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin I.
Reign[edit]
Hussin Kamaluddin appointed his son, Pengiran Bendahara Pengiran Anak Untong, as Raja of Dumpil Meruntum, Sabah in 1730.[3] Brunei pitis was highly encouraged. During his reign, gold pitis coins were minted that contained a picture of a cat and the Sultan's title, 'Sultan Kamaluddin Malik Al Dzahir.[4] The pitis is also known as 'Kuching Emas' or Golden Cat. During the Sultan's rule, civil war almost occur in Brunei. Another theory is Brunei might have a conflict with other regional kingdoms such as Sulu. These assumptions are based on the evidence of the Sultan's chain armour which bears the old royal emblem, which was delivered by a Malaysian state (Johor).[5]
Dutch account[edit]
The Dutch from Batavia, present-day Jakarta, sent a letter to the ruler of Brunei on 1 September 1721. In the letter, the Dutch addressed the ruler as 'Paduka Seri Sultan Ma-Alam Malicu Mataram Lalulla Fil Alam'. The last part of the Sultan's title is translated as 'Malik al-Zahir Zillu'llahi fil-Alam. However, the Sultan's personal name in the letter, 'Ma-Alam', is debatable. It is possible that the Dutch referred to was Sultan Hussin Kamaluddin as one of the Sultan's wives was a princess from Mataram, Puteri Raja Buwono Maimun.[citation needed]
Death[edit]
Hussin Kamaluddin died in 1740. He was buried at Makam Di Luba in the outskirt of Bandar Seri Begawan. After his death, he was known as 'Marhum Di Luba'. He was succeeded by his son-in-law Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin I.
