The Perak Sultanate, One of the Oldest Royal Lineages in the Malay States

We know that it is widely understood that the Perak Malay Sultanate originates from one of the oldest royal lineages among the Malay States. As we are all aware, the Sultan of Perak is descended from the Melaka Malay Sultanate dynasty.

His Royal Highness the Sultan, the Yang di-Pertuan and Sovereign Ruler of the state of Perak Darul Ridzuan, is the reigning monarch of the state of Perak Darul Ridzuan, as well as the head of state and the head of the Islamic religion in Perak. When the Melaka Malay Sultanate fell due to the Portuguese invasion in 1511, Sultan Mahmud Shah retreated to Kampar and passed away there in 1528. The late Sultan Mahmud Shah had three sons: Raja Ali, Raja Muzaffar, and Raja Ahmad. The eldest son, Raja Ali, established the Johor Malay Sultanate (the old Johor Sultanate), while the second son was appointed as the ruler of Perak.
