Related To Royalty: My Grandmother Was A Princess | On The Red Dot - Family Mysteries | Full Episode

Growing up with a famous last name such as Alkaff, content creator Hannah Alkaff is well-acquainted with stories from that branch of her family tree. But she is starting to find out that her late paternal grandmother might be related to royalty. It was at her cousin’s recent wedding in KL that her grandmother’s royal roots were highlighted. Her cousin’s wedding kebaya consisted of a piece that belonged to their late grandmother, and Hannah was told that such fabric was used by royalty from Pontianak in West Kalimantan, a province in Indonesia.
That was when she realized that she had never asked how exactly her grandmother was related to the Pontianak Sultanate. Hannah's list of questions grew with her curiosity, and what she discovers will open her up to a whole other branch of her family tree that was rooted in royalty, and completely foreign to her. Her search for more answers takes her to the coastal city of Pontianak in West Kalimantan, her grandmother’s homeland. What will Hannah discover there?

It is the same Pontianak. Apparently the Sultanate got its name because it used to host the ghosts. Until Syarif Abdurrahman Alkadrie (the first Sultan) expelled the ghosts with his army of cannons.

This is what happened to the Sultan of Bulungan and his family: On the dawn of Friday, 3 July 1964, a troop of Brawijaya 517 soldiers led by Lieutenant B Simatupang under the orders of Brigadier General Suharjo quickly swooped in the Bulungan Palace, kidnapping its aristocrat inhabitants while burning the rest of the palace grounds which lasted for 2 days and nights on Friday 24 July 1964. The kidnapees were later murdered, one Raja Muda Datu Mukemat in particular was reported to have been brought to sea between the islands of Tarakan and Bunyu, where he was shackled with stones as weight, shot dead and cast out into the sea. For the record: Lieutenant B Simatupang is today a NATIONAL HERO in Indonesia.

[@rahmadgerpol]

Haha Budak Singapur datang ke Pontianak juga ya...... Salam dari Kubu Raya. Sultan Hamid II escaped from Mandor Affair because he was in Jakarta (Java Island). At Japanese era, Java and Sumatera (Andalas) are ruled by Rikugun (Imperial Japanese Army). But Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes) and East Indonesia are ruled by Kaigun (Imperial Japanese Navy). And you know Rikugun and Kaigun are not friendly team mate during WW II. So this was Sultan Hamid saved from Mandor Affair. It was a paradox that Kaigun is crueled about Mandor Massacre. Because Kaigun is actuallly softer than Rikugun. BTW I elected Sultan at DPD election 2024 for West Kalimantan seat😀😀😀😀

The Sultanate of Bulungan, a kingdom that was never colonized by the Dutch but was colonized by Indonesia through the regime of Bung Karno, which was influenced by the PKI. In fact, the PKI within the ABRI, under the orders of Brigadier General Suhario (Commander IX Mulawarman), carried out massacres and looting by burning the palace of the Raja Muda, plundering the royal heirlooms, and killing the heirs of the last Sultan of Bulungan (1958) from July 3-14, 1964. This plan was executed swiftly by Lieutenant T. B Simatupang and Captain Buntaran. Among the ABRI troops involved were those from Brawijaya 517.

Perlis cannot used sultan titles it was Kedah territory divide from Kedah, same with Negeri Sembilan(nine district) it ws jOHOR distict territory but given to Minangkabau allies from Pagaruyung west sumatra to figth bugis, cannot used sultan titles, Kedah, Johor, Brunei all these big malay state later become small or divide Johor divide into Pahang and Riau-Lingga, only pulau tioman not become riau-lingga sultanate terriitory only Natuna and Anambas given to riau-lingga. pulau tioman was part of johor just like singapore but later become Pahang territory Johor forever called land sultanate, riau was archipelago sultanate or archipelago johor.

Nonsense, almost all the sultans are still around. There are more Malay sultanates in Indo than in Malaysia. There were some attacks by communists during the independence war chaos, but there were popular hate for being total Dutch lackeys who sold your own land and people as virtual slaves of Dutch plantations in exchange for money.

True Many dark history are hidden They killed malays sultan and overproud their javanese sultan and many javanese owned many land in borneo

​​@@petrikmatanasi1520 dutch did well in borneo They dont came for war but for build Many dutch at that time build bridge house road and schools but the javanese indonesia called pontianak borneo as a rebellious area because close to dutch While actually the sultan only care the pontianak people But the indonesia school history wrote dutch in a real monster human being

[@petrikmatanasi1520]

@@rumahfifi Not really, Indonesia didnt have any problem in West Borneo. There are many sultans in West Kalimantan, only the Pontianak one was a bit troublesome. But he was arrested without a fuss because he got no popular support even in Pontianak and as his Dutch military backup has been withdrawn. These sultans are irrelevant for Indonesian people.

Nice story, it was refreshing to trace the ancestors history. However, I understand that the story may not relate to some viewers as currently Malay sultan sovereignty is only in Malay peninsula and Brunei. The rest Malay sultanates were history and folklore, some perished and some revived partially as none main descendants, to preserve the culture.

​@@JackRoopersMore hoax history. Sultan Hamid was jailed because he had sent a letter to the Queen asking for urgent protection from Indonesian extremists.

Sultan Hamid II was more than just the designer of the national emblem. During the Indonesian war of independence, he was the leader of the federalist faction of the movement that sought to establish a federal republic in Indonesia. He was present and signed with Hatta during the Round Table Conference in The Hague that transferred sovereignty over Indonesia from the Dutch. Unfortunately, the federalists led to many rebellions and strife that were all put down by TNI thus strengthening the united republican model until today.

[@Djiejejdj]

"United" republican model...wow..you must be another 3rd world nationalist with some screw loose.. TNI literally murdered the archipelago into an artificial hegemony.

[@abcddef2112]

Yeah his involvement with Westerling really sullied his name and legacy. Even if he had many contributions toward Indonesia independence, it was tarnished when he rebelled. Especially this is the infamous Westerling, as if that is not bad enough, APRA collaborated with Darul Islam.
