Malay texts tell of...

Description

"Malay texts tell of the existence of suku or tribes. Each suku is identified with a batin or a penghulu, who got into the good books of the Sultan and was awarded with a maritime region out of which he could build his authority and wealth. Hence, a penghulu or a batin was identified with a region, no matter how small it was. So the highest level was occupied by the chiefs, some of whom bore the title of Raja, or Tok (short form of Datuk or Datu)"
