SULTANATE OF SAMBALIUNG

About the Sultan today (2020)

The sultanate of Sambaliung is by Datu Hasanudin since 2018.
Datu Amir was the leader of the sultanate of Sambaliung 2014 – 2017.
Datu Fachruddin was the leader of the sultanate of Sambaliung from 2009 to 2013.
The three of them are the children of Sultan Sambaliung, Sultan Muhammad Aminuddin (1902-1960), who deserves to take turns in getting the position. The term “Pemangku Adat” is not quite right because he comes from the Sultanate breed.

History of the sultanate of Sambaliung, 1810 – 1960

The kingdom of Berau emerged from five “regions” (also called “Banuwa”) and two “kampung”, ie administrative regions in effect at that time.
During the reign of Sultan Muhammad Hasanuddin (1731-1767) and Sultan Zainal Abidin (1779-1800), Islam became the religion of the majority of Berau. The title “Sultan” which carried the king (as a substitute for “Aji”) is a marker that Islam is the official religion of the empire.
The seed of the split up within the royal family, started after the reign of Aji Dilayas, king Berau the 9th. The King had many descendants. Two of them were as powerful as a replacement candidate king, Pangeran Tua and Pangeran Dipati. In deciding who should replace their father, there was a big debate among the royal family. Fearing the conflict will get bigger, there was a joint decision, that the Kingdom of Berau will be led alternately by the two and by the descendants of both. As the eldest son, Pangeran Tua had the opportunity to rule from 1673 to 1700. While his brother, Pangeran Dipati ruled from 1700 until 1731.
About 1810: While descents of Aji Pangeran Tua, the heir to the throne of King of the title of Sultan Alimuddin, got the region south of the Berau, as well as the region of the left and right Kelay River. Sultan Gazi Mahyudi later founded the kingdom of Gunung Tabur. While Raja Alam founded the Sultanate of Sambaliung. In 1750 the sultanate of Bulungan was established.
So, 3 kingdoms originated from Berau kingdom:
* Sambaliung,
* Gunung Tabur,
* Bulungan.
