Contents From Raja to Sultan : The Islamic Conversion of the Tantric Malay Ruler -- The Malay Ethos : The Sultan and his Subjects -- Controlling Kedah's maritime lines of communication : The Sultan and the Raja di-laut, or Sea Lords -- Bay to Gulf or Gulf to Bay : the Sultan and the trans-peninsular routes of Kedah.
Summary The Kedah Sultanate is the oldest unbroken independent kingship lines in the "Malay world" with 1,000 years of history, and arguably one of the oldest in the Islamic world. In this study I examine key geopolitical and spiritual attributes of Malay kingship that have traditionally cemented the ruler, the peoples, and the environment.
