Sultan Salehuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Yamtuan Muda Riau II Opu Daeng Chelak ( Jawi: سلطان صالح الدين شاه ابن المرحوم يمتوان مودا رياو ٢ اوڤو داءيڠ چلق; born Raja Lumu bin Opu Daeng Chelak, 1705–1782) was the first Sultan of Selangor. [2] He was the son of the famous Bugis warrior prince Opu Daeng Chelak. He took on the title of Sultan Sallehuddin of Selangor in 1766. The Bugis had already begun to settle on the West coast of the Malayan Peninsula towards the end of the 17th century.
Salehuddin was born as Raja Lumu c. 1705, the second eldest son of the Bugis warrior, Daeng Chelak and his first wife, Encik Tomita. Raja Lumu took the title of the first Raja of Selangor from 1743–1766 and then became the first Sultan of Selangor in 1766–1782. [3]
Following Raja Lumu, two other Bugis chiefs settled in the Selangor area: Raja Tua in Klang and Daeng Kemboja in Linggi, south of Lukut. Raja Lumu originally met with opposition from the sultans of Perak and Johor, as well as from the Dutch, but eventually managed to consolidate his position as sovereign. By 1770, his legitimacy was strengthened by marriage to the niece of the Sultan of Perak in November 1766. [4]
By 1766, the newly crowned sultan used the name 'Selangor' as his Sultanate since the site of court administration was situated along the basin of the Selangor River. [3]
The latter, Sultan Muhammad "invested Salehuddin with the insignia of Malay royalty and also attended the subsequent installation ceremony in Selangor". To this alliance, he soon added another, by marrying his own daughter to the Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah, the most northerly of the Western Malay Sultanates.
