Background

Salehuddin was born as Raja Lumu c.1705, the second eldest son of the Bugis warrior, Daeng Chelak and his first wife, Encik Tomita.[1]

Sultan of Selangor

Following Raja Lumu, two other Bugis chiefs settled in the Selangor area: Raja Tua in Klang and Daeng Kemboja in Linggi, south of Lukut. Raja Lumu originally met with opposition from the sultans of Perak and Johor, as well as from the Dutch, but eventually managed to consolidate his position as sovereign. By 1770, his legitimacy was strengthened by marriage to the niece of the Sultan of Perak in November 1766.[3]

The latter, Sultan Muhammad "invested Salehuddin with the insignia of Malay royalty and also attended the subsequent installation ceremony in Selangor". To this alliance, he soon added another, by marrying his own daughter to the Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah, the most northerly of the Western Malay Sultanates.
