Selangor royal family explained

The Selangor royal family consists of the family members of the sultan of Selangor. It currently consists of Sharafuddin of Selangor and his close relations.

The sultan and his family belong to the House of Royal Buginese Luwu Opu Daeng Chelak Family. The ruling house had founded the monarchy in 1745 and continues to be in power to this day.^[1]

Background

Members of Selangor royal family are descendants of the first sultan of Selangor, Salehudin of Selangor. He is the eldest son of Opu Daeng Chelak, one of the five buginese warriors that rose into power in the Johor Sultanate during the Bendahara dynasty.^[2] They are considered as the viceregal the ''House of royal buginese riau'' in Riau-Lingga Sultanate, and can trace their ancestry from the ''House of royal buginese luwu'' in Kingdom of Luwu, South Sulawesi.^[3] This was proven that Daeng Chelak was the great great grandson of Andi Pattiware’ who was known to be the first ruler of Luwu to converted to Islam.

On 5 November 1903, upon ascending the throne as the fifth sultan, Sulaiman of Selangor decreed that all his descendants will carry the hereditary first name Tengku instead of Raja.^[4] The naming tradition was kept to this day.

Roles

Several members of the royal family are also the members of the Selangor Council of the Royal Court. The council role is to assist the Sultan in carrying out his duty to the state by acting as an advisory body to the sultan.^{[5] [6]} Some members are made Orang Besar Istana or in English, palace dignitaries, whom are responsible for any engagement involving the palace.^[7]

Titles and styles

The full title of the sultan of Selangor is Sultan dan Yang di-Pertuan Selangor Darul Ehsan Serta Segala Daerah Takluknya, or in English, The Sultan and Sovereign Ruler of Selangor Abode of Sincerity and its Sovereign Dependencie.^[8]

The title Tengku Ampuan Selangor may be conferred to a spouse of the sultan, given that she is of a royal descent. The title Tengku Permaisuri Selangor can be conferred instead to the spouse that is not of royal descent. The regnal name of the consort of the sultan will be the title, followed by her given name. For example: Tengku Ampuan Rahimah and Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin.^[9]

The heir apparent is conferred the title Raja Muda Selangor or in English, the Crown Prince of Selangor.^[10] His wife will receive the title Raja Puan Muda Selangor if she is of royal descent.

The sultan's mother will receive the title Paduka Bonda Raja upon his ascension to the throne. For example, Sharafuddin of Selangor's mother is styled Paduka Bonda Raja, Raja Saidatul Ihsan binti Tengku Badar Shah.^[11]
