Tun Muhammad bin Tun Ahmad, better known as Tun Sri Lanang,〔Agus, Abdul Aziz, ''Tokoh yang Kukoh, dalam Kesusasteraan Melayu Lama dan Baru, oleh Agus Salim: Dengan Sejarah Sastera'', pg 72〕 is the Bendahara (Grand Vizier) of the royal Court of Johor Sultanate who lived between the 16th and 17th centuries.〔 He served under two Sultans of Johore namely; Sultan Ali Jalla Abdul Jalil Shah II (1570–1597) and Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah III (1597–1615) and also advisers to 3 Acheh sultans namely; Sultan Iskandar Muda (until 1636), Sultan Iskandar Thani (1636–1641) and Sultana Tajul Alam Safiatuddin Shah (1641–1675). He had two honorific titles throughout his lifetime; as the Bendahara of Johor, ''Bendahara Paduka Raja Tun Mohamad'',〔The title Bendahara Paduka Raja being his honorific.〕 while he was given the title of ''Orang Kaya Dato' Bendahara Seri Paduka Tun Seberang'' after settling in Aceh. ==Early life and events in Johore== Tun Sri Lanang was born in 1565 in Seluyut, Johore, and was descended from Tun Tahir, a brother of Bendahara Tun Mutahir of Malacca.〔Hamilton, ''Source of the Malacca Johore and Pahang Genealogies'', pg 148〕 There are not many records about his period as Bendehara in Johore. However, during the rule of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah III, he shouldered a heavier burden on the affairs of the state as the Sultan is a weak ruler. He shared the responsibility with the Sultan's brother Raja Abdullah (later to become Sultan Abdullah Maayah Shah which reigns between 1615 to 1623). During the period the Dutch were attacking the Portuguese for the port of Malacca. The Dutch signed a friendship treaty with the Johore Sultanate (in 1606) with Tun Sri Lanang as a representative. Tun Sri Lanang refused the Dutch request of helping the Dutch to blockade the port of Malacca preferring the Dutch do it themselves. In 1612, at the request of Raja Abdullah to pen the ''Malay Annals'' to ensure " ... all the adat, the rules and the ceremonies of the Malay Sultans and Rajas to be heard by our descendants and is made known all utterances so that it may benefit them". At this time, under the orders of Sultan Alauddin Riaayat Shah, Tun Sri Lanang oversaw the editorial and compilation process〔Safian, Johan, Mohd. Thani, Hawa, ''History of Modern Malay Literature'', pg 260 As a history teacher who is dedicated to his field, Shaharom Husain believes that a writer/compiler of the Sejarah Melayu is important and should be remembered and his deeds "respected" by the future generation. although Shaharom Husain agrees that Tun Seri Lanang is not the real author of Sejarah Melayu, he does not deny that the said personality is a "writer, historian and compiler of...〕 of the Malay Annals, better known as ''Sejarah Melayu'' in Malay. In 1613, Acheh attacked Johore and in the battle of Batu Sawar. Johore was defeated and the Royal Family and Tun Sri Lanang was captured and brought to Acheh. The Bendaharaship was continued by his descendants. His notable descendants include Bendehara Tun Habib Abdul Majid and the Raja Temenggung of Muar.〔Haji Buyong bin Adil, ''Sejarah Terengganu'', pg 207〕〔Winstedt, ''A History of Johore'', pg 189, 194〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tun Sri Lanang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
