Datu Patinggi Ali
Leader of the Sarawak Malays / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Datu Patinggi Abang Ali bin Abang Amir[1] (or commonly known as Datu Patinggi Ali [2]) was a key figure in the Sarawak Malays' resistance to the Brunei Empire, which they waged throughout Pengiran Indera Mahkota and Raja Muda Hashim's reign in the 1830s. He became one of the first supporters of the Brooke Raj and was hailed as Sarawak's first national hero.[2] An important part in the 1830s uprising against Bruneian authority was played by him.[3] In an endeavor to oppose Brunei's attempts to subjugate Sarawak through local leaders, he was known to be a fearless and resolute leader. Brooke then took Ali as an aide-de-camp after the Sarawak dispute ended.[4]
