Abu Bakar ibni Daing Ibrahim (1833-1895), also known as Albert Baker, was the 21st Sultan of Johor. Considered to be the “Father of Modern Johor”, Sultan Abu Bakar developed Johor’s infrastructure, administrative system, military and civil service, all of which were modelled closely along Western lines.
An anglophile, Abu Bakar was also the first Malay ruler to visit Europe in 1866. He died in London from pneumonia while visiting Queen Victoria in 1895.
