British want to attacked Naning

Actually, there have another reason why Dol Said had tried his best to Protect Naning from British. This is because he wants to defend the independence of Naning and does not want his state to be one of the place that being influenced under the colonizer. Furthermore, the 'ultimate cause' why Naning War happened is because of the status in the eyes of the East India Company where they saw Naning as a vassal province whose ruler owed his appointment and authority to them since it have the prove in the Dutch treaty 1641 and the British one of 1801 even though the rule is saw different for Malay and Minangkabau people. However, Datuk Dol Said managed to outsmart the invading forces with the help of his nearby allies.

HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS NANING

The map of Naning

Previously, Naning was a part of Negeri Sembilan but after that it was later annexed by British into Malacca via Naning war that happened on 1831 where Malacca at that time was under British rule. Dol Said have tried his best to defend Naning from being the part under British rule because before this British had managed to devide the unity of the Malay during that time by binding agreements with counties bordering Naning including Rembau, Sungai Ujung and Seri Menanti. However, Dol Said had tried his best to defend the independence of Naning even though at last, Naning has fall into British rule. Dol Said had to retreat to Pasir Besar when had defeated in Naning’s second war on February 1832. 

Naning was defeated not because it lacks with strategies, but it is because Rembau has told British about the weakness of Naning where it only can be defeated by scattering the pig’s bones and dogs at the Naning’s border area. Now Naning had been placed under Straits Settlements regulation on 27 October 1832. As the lessons, Malays should unite to achieve glory in their life.
