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.
