Abu Bakar of Johor

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sultan Sir Abu Bakar ibni Daing Ibrahim (3 February 1833 - 4 June 1895) (Jawi: المرحوم سلطان سير ابو بكر ابن المرحوم تماڠڬوڠ دايڠ إبراهيم سري مهاراج جوهر) was the 21st Sultan of Johor. He was also informally known as "The Father of Modern Johor," as many historians accredited Johor's development in the 19th century to Abu Bakar's leadership. He initiated policies and provided aids to ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs to stimulate the development of the state's agricultural economy which was founded by Chinese migrants from Southern China in the 1840s. He also took charge of the development of Johor's infrastructure, administrative system, military and civil service, all of which were modelled closely along Western lines.
