Semantan WAR!!

British army bombard Dato Bahaman Fortresses

Assalamualaikum..in this post, i will story about what is the cause for the war that Dato Bahaman involved. The cause of the Semantan War was because of the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the Orang Besar Pahang and the Orang Kaya Semantan towards the British interference on their territories . The tension soon rose in December 1890 when a E.A Wise, a British officer, illegally set up a police station without negotiating at Lubuk Terua which is territory of Dato' Bahaman. The Sultan immediately, ordered Dato' Bahaman to move to the countryside nearby Kuantan. However, Dato' Bahaman refused and the Sultan sent a letter and disposed his rank of the Orang Kaya Semantan.

The action of the Sultan angered Dato' Bahaman . This caused him and his followers ambush C.E.M Deaborough at the Semantan River on 15 December 1891. When Dato' Bahaman expected an arrest from Deaborough after the ambush, it turned out that Deaborough's forces had lost and escaped to the city of Temerloh.

Following of the aftermath, on 21 December 1891, a squadron led by Hugh Clifford and Tengku Mahmud attacked Kampung Kelubi which was the second stronghold of Dato' Bahaman. Here another battle happened between the British forces and Dato' Bahaman. The resulting battle was a lost for the British but a victory for Dato' Bahaman.
