Mausoleum of Bendahara Tun Habab (GPS: 1.73301, 103.91018) is an old mausoleum in Kota Tinggi, Johor. Located in a village known as Kampung Makam, it is the final resting place of Bendahara Tun Abdul Majid Tun Habab @ Habib. Tun Habab became the bendahara or "premier" under the reigns of Sultan Ibrahim Shah I (1677-1685) and Sultan Mahmud Syah II² (1685-1699), who were the last two sultans of Johor in direct line of descent from Sultan Mahmud Shah of the Malacca Sultanate.

After Sultan Mahmud Syah II died without leaving an heir, Tun Habab was installed as the Sultan of Johor, taking on the title of Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Syah IV. In the year 1700, he relocated the administrative centre of Johor from Kota Makam Tauhid to Kota Panchor. His daughter, Tengku Tengah, was married to Daeng Perani, one of the five princes from Bugis. The present Sultan of Johor traces his ancestry to this line. Another son of Tun Habab, Tun Zainal Abidin, became the first Sultan of Terengganu, establishing a lineage for Terengganu that continues to this day. Yet another son of Tun Habab, Tun Abas, became Bendahara Seri Maharaja Pahang, or the Governor of Pahang, and his descendants is the present royal household of Pahang. With that said, the royal houses of Johor, Terengganu and Pahang call trace their ancestry back to Tun Habab.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
