I am labeled as the greatest traitor by the Aceh people. Before the betrayal incident, I had a position in the structure of the state of the Aceh as a _**Syahbandar**_ or a ruler of trade excise and the port financial portfolio was also an important official in the state of Aceh Darussalam, titled of **Commander Maharaja Syahbandar Tibang**, often called **Panglima Tibang**, was entrusted as a state official in the late 19th century to early 20th century. **If never hearing my name meant he was not Aceh.**

**Commander Maharaja Syahbandar Tibang** > Titre : Sumatra / [photogr. reprod. par Molténi pour la conférence donnée par] P. Fauque Auteur : Fauque, Paul (18..-19..?). Auteur de la conférence. Chef de la mission. Photographe de l'oeuvre reproduite Auteur : Molteni. Photographe Date d'édition : 1883-1884 Sujet : Portraits -- Indonésie Sujet : Sumatra, Île de Credit image: [http://gallica.bnf.fr](http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b530000703/f1.item.r=sumatra.zoom) The beginning of the story, I headed to Riau to meet the official representative of the Dutch East Indies government, then I was directed to continue the journey to the capital of the Dutch East Indies government in Batavia, then I leaked the secrets of the Aceh Darussalam Kingdom to the official authorities of the Dutch East Indies. ## Opportunism For the sake of earning money easily, I committed a greatest betrayal of the highly lucrative attack of 27 March 1873 by the Dutch East Indies troops to the heart of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. The attack was intended to undermine the influence of the Kingdom of Aceh in Southeast Asia. The Kingdom of the Netherlands wanted to control the spice trade and the Malacca Strait trade strip which was once dominated by the Kingdom of Aceh. Aceh loses powerless, European media preach the terrible battle that is happening at that time.

If you do not believe me, read the letter of the sultan of Aceh, Sri Paduka Yang Dipertuan Raja 'Alauddin Muhammad Dawud Syah Ibnu Al-Sultan Al-Marhum' Alauddin Manshur Syah and Sri Paduka Bangta Muda reside on the throne of the state of Aceh Darussalam, on the Sumatra island.

He was furious, curse was expressed in his letter addressed to me. The letter was in Malay-jawi language addressed to Maulana Al-Mu'azhham Sultan Al-Ghaziy 'Abdul Hamid Khan Ibn Al-Marhum Maulana Sultan Abdul Majid Khan at the throne in Istanbul, Turkey. **Here are part of the contents of the letter in Malay:** > *Dengan sebab hal ini hamba merafa'kan sembah ke hadapan Hadarat Sri Paduka Tuan hamba yang maha mulia daripada asalnya yang telah jadi demikian ini sebab seorang Hindu yang sudah masuk Islam namanya **Panglima Tibang** maka mereka itu telah dipercaya oleh ayahanda hamba yang bernama Sultan Mahmud Syah maka Hindu itulah membuat sepucuk surat kepada Hulanda diperbuatnya dengan nama ayahanda hamba itu Sultan Mahmud Syah serta diambil cap dengan tiada diketahui oleh saudara ayahanda hamba Sultan Mahmud Syah maka Hindu itu pun keluarlah dari Aceh pergi ke Negeri Riau mendapatkan wakil Hulanda yang di situ lalu pergi ke Betawi kepada gubernur jendral yang besar daripada Raja Hulanda.* (source: [mapesaaceh.com](http://www.mapesaaceh.com/2015/08/tahun-tahun-kepedihan.html)) **Translation**: > For this reason I am worshiped in the presence of Hadarat Sri Paduka Tuan the most honorable servant of this origin who has become so because of a Hindu who has converted to Islam, his name is **Panglima Tibang** then they have been trusted by the father of a servant named Sultan Mahmud Syah, then he made a letter to the Dutch official, made with my father's name Sultan Mahmud Syah, and taked with not known by my father's brother Sultan Mahmud Syah, then he was out of Aceh went to Riau to meet the representative of the Dutch East Indies, from there he went to Betawi to the great governor-general of the Dutch King. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7y-kSJyNqMY/Vd0clZVl9yI/AAAAAAAAAxY/uyGe86gQOYc/s1600/11885019_1455802668082584_4379372944947607427_o.jpg 1 sheet from 3 pieces of mail. Please see 2 more pieces, source: [mapesaaceh.com](http://www.mapesaaceh.com/2015/08/tahun-tahun-kepedihan.html) ## Traitor or hero? Depending on the point of view. I am considered a traitor by the Aceh people, but I am a hero for the Dutch kingdom, I got a star of service from the Queen of the Netherlands. I have destroyed the dignity of the Acehnese nation to this day, and Aceh today is one of the poorest, ugly and low-education provinces in the country of the Indonesian republic. All the glory of Aceh ranges 15-19 century as the ruler of half of Southeast Asia, as though erased swallowed by the times. You will not find the history of Aceh's history in Indonesian history, believe me! The pieces of truth of Aceh's history can be found in a collection of documents held at the [Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi](http://www.topkapisarayi.gov.tr/tr) and in the archives of European countries that had dealt with trade in Southeast Asia during the glorious period of the Kingdom of Aceh, 15-19th Century. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6lpwEkNsy5c/Vy1WQpT7XBI/AAAAAAAAAPI/qxupqrJnGooAT5Yn4t0utllZxi95HwpEwCKgB/s640/13173161_1580666812262835_5837101977168640828_o.jpg > The archives of the Aceh Darussalam Kingdom, which were kept in Copenhagen in the year 1147 H (1734 AD), the contents of a document is a proof of payment of 'usyur (one-tenth,customs duty) of a Danish ship that has dealt commerce in southeast Asia.

I came here today with a different vision and mission, very different from what I have done in the past. Now I will help the weak Acehnese people, as much as I can. I will continue to destroy the traitors in present-day Aceh, there can be no other traitors beyond me, because I am a true traitor. Previously, I was very active in [MAPESA "MASYARAKAT PEDULI SEJARAH ACEH"](https://www.facebook.com/groups/SAHABAT.MAPESA/) Facebook Group, often criticizing foolish policies practiced by the people in power in Aceh. One of them is the stupid behavior shown by academics. I judge, their ways are still less intelligent when doing duping. **As an example** Here I include a debate link that I upload Facebook in the Group's [MAPESA "MASYARAKAT PEDULI SEJARAH ACEH"](https://www.facebook.com/groups/SAHABAT.MAPESA/). Contents, among others, criticized the article paper colloquium composed by rector of [UIN Ar-Raniry](https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universitas_Islam_Negeri_Ar-Raniry) (Ar-Raniry Islamic University) Banda Aceh. Theme: **Seminar Nasional "Mempertegas Sejarah Awal Islam di Nusantara"** [LINK](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.10155291972927552&type=1) to see more about the criticism and community responses in comments. That criticism caused great anger among the academics of UIN Ar-Raniry, but what power, express it is a truth. ## End I am focused on critiques related to social issues. The betrayal has closed the events of my heroic story. In the past, Panglima Tibang was a traitor. Now, the name of this character will be a defender of truth in @steemit for Aceh. I will invite my discussion colleagues on facebook to join here, and explore the steemit platform into a discussion ground like on facebook.com. HOPEFULLY. I will join here if allowed, hopefully I am accepted. Here's my first post. My Facebook account https://www.facebook.com/PanggTibang
