In mainstream media.. particularly from Singapore's source... some reports details on Indian Mutiny were missing ; in pointing out the direct roles of HH Sultan Ibrahim, lead his own army, by his own command in capturing 432 fully armed renegades from British Army..

The Colonial British in Singapore desperately seeks helps from detechment armies of Russia, French dan Jepun.. but, in the end... The Brassball HH Sultan Ibrahim managed to put down the rebellion without firing a single bullet..

The Twisted History

Singapore historian try to denying fact that is no direct role by Sultan Ibrahim, by not mentioning his roles and JMF roles over the incident.. 

Somehow, these document.. produced by Johore Royal Courts in 1955, shed a glimpse of the incidents :

432 mutineers... were taken from Kota Tinggi's jungle.  They were still equipped with fully loaded guns and armor... seeks audience with the Sultan, kiss his hand.. and lay down their guns and ammunitions at the feet of Sultan.

THE ORIGIN OF NICKNAME "BRASSBALL"

This is fully loaded gun.. and the sultan only few feet away.. the rebel easily catch the sultan and held ransom for their freedom = on which the British Government must obey.. 

But, it not happen.. 

One.. plus another and another brassball incident of showing off his bravery in cheating death lead him to be known as 'the oxonion brassball' by Scottish newspaper... and.. that is why i refer him as the "Brassball"..this is how the 'Legend' started.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT ; FROM COLONIAL OFFICE UK

Untold History : Lost Treasure of HRH Sir Albert Baker I

Solid Gold Cane Top of HH Abu Bakar

The item was found on sales record of Michael Backman Ltd. Of London.  It was sold to unknown bidder sometime last May.  These items were list under “Chinese” collection, not Malaya. 

China Connection

It was engraved with “HHM of Johore” which means the His Highness “Maharaja” Of Johor. 

1. HH Abu Bakar reigned as a ruler by title “Maharajah” is from 1868 – 1885.  Therefore, the Cane Top was probably made within this period.

HH Sultan Abu Bakar	Title	Year	Duration
	Temenggung	1862 – 1868	6 years
	Maharaja	1868 – 1885	17 years
	Sultan	1885 – 1895	10 years

1. HH Abu Bakar visited Shanghai and Beijing in 1883.  It is unknown whether HH Abu Bakar has visited the Xuangxu Emperor. 
2. HH Abu Bakar has vested with “Imperial Order of Double Dragon, 1^st Class from Xuangxu Emperor in 1894.

Conclusion

The Solid Gold Cane Top might probably made and presented to HH Abu Bakar in 1883 (as Maharaja), during his visit to China.

 Triad Connection

A Paper presented by Dr. Lim Phui Huen in 2000

1. Johor’s Connection with Chinese Triad dated back in 1844 during Temenggung Ibrahim reigns.  By 1877 (during his reign as Maharaja), the Johor Government has officially recognize the Ngee Heng Triad and its leaders as loyal supporter of Sultan. 
2. Engraving of 1^st photograph showing that the “Kwan” God were fighting and 3^rd and 4^th Photography showing the Shield engraved with Tiger’s face, similarly to the Johor Emblem.  “Kwan” God was the 1 of 3 Gods worshipped by the Triad Members. 
3. This could lead to believe that ‘The Cane’ was made as a sign of superiority of Sultan over his Chinese Subject between years 1868 to 1885. 
4. In 1916, the current Sultan, HH Sir Ibrahim give up his interest and dissolve the Ngee Heng Kongsi upon the pressures from British Government and return all the ‘ceremonial’ items to leader of Ngee Heng who later – bury all those items in Chinese Cemetery in Bukit Saujana. 

Since then, all leaders from various faction of Triad Society, paying a yearly visit to the “Ming Tomb” in every 3^rd day of Chinese New Year.

                                

Conclusion

The Solid God Can Top might be presented by the Emperor’s Court during his visit in the year 1883.   His

Name and the State Emblem at the Top of the Cane supersede the engraving of god “Kwan” at the side of

the handle symbolizing his superiority over the Chinese Triad in Malaya at that time.

TRAITOR

Michael Backman is one of the closed allies of Anwar Ibrahim.  He is best known in the west as the manwho 

saying "Malaysia Bodoh" as slogan sarcastically to critic the ruling government.
