Sultan Salehuddin ibni Almarhum Sultan Mahmud Shah I (died 1636) was the ninth Sultan of Perak. He was the son of the eighth Sultan of Perak, Mahmud Shah I. [1] [2]

In 1630, Raja Kobat, the son of Sultan Mahmud Shah I, was crowned Sultan of Perak with the title of Sultan Salehuddin after the death of his father. During his reign, Perak was said to have been hit by a deadly cholera epidemic which killed many people in Perak. Sultan Salehuddin is said to have sailed to Kampar, Sumatra and died there in 1636. [3]

According to a document from the History of the Kampar Society in the Peninsula, the relationship between Perak and Kampar began during the reign of Muzaffar Shah I and continued until the reign of Salehuddin. [2] People from Kampar also migrated to Perak and were concentrated in Manjung and in the Beruas area.

Due to the lack of documentation and references, not much further information can be found regarding his life. The exact location of the tomb of Sultan Salehuddin in Kampar is unknown. With his death, the rule of Perak from the Melaka dynasty ended. [2]

Sri Maharaja Sang Sapurba Paduka Sri Trimurti Tri Buana, (1245–1316) also known as Sri Nila Pahlawan, is a figure in the Malay Annals, highly revered as the legendary great ancestor of some of the major dynasties of the Malay world: Singapura, Malacca, Pahang, Johor, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu and Siak Sri Indrapura. Legend has it that after his accession to Seguntang Hill with his two younger brothers, Sang Sapurba enters into a sacred covenant with Demang Lebar Daun the native ruler of Palembang, which laid the basis of the proper relationship between the Malay rulers and the subjects. The legendary sword believed to be carried by the king, the Cura Si Manjakini, is now formed part of the regalia of Perak Sultanate, whose rulers are said directly descended from the king. The details of Sang Sapurba stories are mainly composed of folklore and legends, and thus his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. Even so, as De Jong argued in her article The Character of Malay Annals, the stories of the Malay Annals could have been realistically mixed with the historical figures and events.
