Sri Lanang was the first king of the Samalanga kingdom. Actually he is a Treasurer in the Kingdom of Johor. His real name is Tun Muhammad. He was appointed king of Samalanga in 1615. The story of Tun Sri Lanang is taken from the summaries of several writers. Here is the story.
The greatness of the Malacca's Islamic Empire was destroyed after the Portuguese conquered it in 1511. Many of the royalty's rulers fled to other kingdoms that had not yet been touched by the Portuguese. Call it Pahang, Johor, Pidie, Aru (Island Kampai), Perlak, Daya, Pattani, Pasai and Aceh. The Portuguese attempted to conquer this small Islamic kingdom and without any significant resistance. These developments caused the upset of Sultan Ali Mughayat Shah (1514-1530). The Sultan desires to liberate the Islamic lands in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula from the grip of the Portuguese. The Sultan's wish was fully supported by the Acehnese state and the asylum seekers from Melaka who settled in Bandar Aceh. Sultan proclaimed the Islamic Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam in 1512, with its main vision of uniting small country such as Pedir, Daya, Pasai, Tamiang, Perlak and Aru.
