About Ibrahim Shah of Selangor

Lived 1736 – 1826 (aged 89–90). Ibrahim Shah of Selangor was a sovereign.

Ibrahim Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Salehuddin Shah (Jawi: سلطان إبراهيم شاه ابن المرحوم سلطان صالح الدين شاه; born Raja Ibrahim bin Raja Lumu; – 27 October 1826) was the second Sultan of Selangor. He served as sultan from 1782 until his death in 1826.

He was known as a strong energetic ruler and an Anglophile. On 13 July 1784, as part of the Riau War the Dutch captured Kuala Selangor despite having built the Kota Melawati fort to protect the area and ended up getting deposed and exiled. After helping Perak remove the Siamese presence in Perak, Ibrahim demanded tribute for the help provided.

In 1818, Selangor began political relations with the United Kingdom. Contemporary writer Thomas Newbold (1807–1850) mentions that after his successor Muhammad Shah took the throne, the territory lapsed into comparative decay, where Muhammad Shah committed piracy, robberies and levied contributions from the local inhabitants, which then lead to emigration.
