Segati Kingdom

1. The History

The Segati Kingdom was established by Tuk Jayo Sati, grandson of Maharajo Olang from Kuantan. The Kingdom was situated in downstream of Segati River, 15 km from present Negeri Langgam, riverbank of Kampar. Centre of the kingdom was in Ranah Tanjung Bungo (present Negeri Langgam). When Tuk Jayo Tunggal took the reign, he moved the central kingdom to Ranah Gunung Setawur, downstream of Segati River.   

The Segati Kingdom had long history of commercial relationship with Kuantan Kingdom. The relationship was commenced when envoys from Negeri Gunung Sahilan visited Segati in a commercial trip and brought peppers which were bought by Tuk Jayo Tunggal and were sold in City of Macang Pandak Kuantan. The trade flourished as envoys from Gunung Hijau (it is assumed to be Pagaruyung) offered tin which was also bought and sold by Tuk Jayo Tunggal in Bandar Sangar, Kuala Kampar. Following the death of Tuk Jayo Tunggal, his son, Tuk Jayo Alam replaced him as a king of Segati.    

During Tuk Jayo Alam period, Segati Kingdom, whose central kingdom was in Negeri Ranah Gunung, entered glorious stage. It was marked by the increasing trade relationship with other Kingdoms such as Kuantan and Sangar. Main commodity for the trade was spices, particularly chili.

The significant development of the Segati Kingdom aroused envy of its neighboring kingdom: Gassib Kingdom. Under command of Hulubalang Panglima Huto (commandant), Gassib attacked Segati and succeeded in defeating Negeri Ranah Gunung Setawar. Datok Jaya Alam, the king of Segati, who escaped to upstream of Segati River, along with his loyal followers, established new Negeri (country) called Negeri Segati. The name was inspired by word sekati lada (pepper) which was last remain of stocks brought by Datuk Jaya Alam. In order to regain the throne, Datuk Jaya Alam who had gathered remaining powers begun to wage war againts the Gassib Kingdom. When he sucessfully redeemed Ranah Gunung Setawar, Panglima Huto went back to the Gassib Kingdom. The central Kingdom remained in Segati Negeri where Panglima Huto controlled the Kingdom.

Tuk Jayo Laut, the son of Tuk Jayo Alam, replaced his father as the Segati King. Word ‘Laut‘, which means sea, in his name represented his adoration of sailing. During his rule, the trade whose major commodity was pepper had grew significantly.  Tuk Jayo Laut then replaced by his son Tuk Jayo Tinggi, and Tuk Jayo Gagah respectively. Tuk Jayo Kolombai who succeeded Tuk Jayo Gagah then replaced by Tuk Jayo Bedil. He was the fisrt person who used bedil (gun). During his period, trade relationship with Malacca discontinued since Malacca was overruled by pirates of Peringgi (Portugueese). Hence, the trade was carried out merely with Kuantan through Negeri Ranah Koto Macang Pandak.  

Tuk Joyo Bedil was asked by Tuk Sangar Raja Dilaut ‘Malacca King‘ for supporting Malacca in war againts Peringgi. He agreed and delegated military forces which were headed by Panglima Kuntu. Along with Tuk Sangar Raja Dilaut, he attacked Peringgi in Laut Simpang Empat, Siapung Atas Island (Serapung). Both commandants are well known for their tough militiray forces which could control Kuala Kampar. After getting old, Tuk Sangar Raja Dilaut was replaced by his son, Tuk Sangar Raja Dilaut Muda.

Panglima Kutu then was pulled out to Segati and the military command was taken by Orang Besar (Person who had significant influence on society) in Segati from Gunung Hijau and Sultan Peminggih. Under these two commandants, many Peringgi ships (Portuguese pirates) were devastated. 

Years after, Aceh envoys came to the Segati and demanded the King to convert to Islam. The demand was then rejected by Tuk Jayo Bedil. However, Aceh still insisted in sending military expedition to conquer coastal area of Sumatra including Segati. Since pepper constituted the main commodity of Segati, Aceh considered it necessary to conquer Segati. In Addition, dakwah mission (Islamic promulgation) to make Islam as official religion in Segati was still in mind of Aceh. Hence, Aceh forces, which utilized water route as their strategy, attacked and successfully conquered Segati. 

When Aceh forces passed the territory of Tuk Raja Sangar Dilaut in Kampar River, he was allowed for the passing since Tuk Raja considered him as an ally who supported him in attacking Portuguese. Aceh forces then could go through the River and attacked Segati.

Since Segati military forces were not strong as Aceh, Segati could be easily defeated. In the expansion, Aceh also conquered Gassib.

Afterward, Tuk Jayo escaped to Petalangan Napuh and continued to Kuantan. Segati then reestablished and used different name ‘Tambak‘. Soon after, the center of kingdom was moved to an estuary with new name called Langgam. The remnants of Aceh attack can be seen in several places such as Rencong Aceh, Pangkalan Aceh, and Lubuk Aceh

Most of Segati people were Buddhists. The detailed information about their religiosity and religious rite, socio-cultural life, and daily behavior were unknown. It was due to limitation of historical records on Segati especially written documents.  

To meet daily basic needs, Segati people mainly relied on agricultural sector. In the glorious period, trade sector became another major economic income for Segati people

20 Nov 2011. Nuri Chek Shiddiq untuk sebagai Catatan bersama Para Peneliti sejarah Melayu.. GASIB = GRAHI - SIAK - BENTAN, Adalah kelanjutan dari Kerajaan Chandu Kani di Negeri Bentan Bukit Bijana. Siak adalah daerah Timbalan Bentan (Sejarah Melayu)ketika pusat pemerintahan di Bentan. GRAHI - SIAK - BENTAN ADALAH daerah-daerah tahluk Kerajaan dari Bentan. Raja-raja Gasib berasal dari keturunan Mahasepati Telanai/ Telanai Bentan anak dari Laksmana Raja Andak putra dari Paladu Tani Raja Amdan Negera (Pulau Andaman di Bettapur "Kota Raja"), maka pada masa Sultan abdullah (Sultan Terakhir Gasib) ketika ia mendengar Sultan Machmud Shah I Melaka pindah dari Bentan Ke Kampar Thn 1526, maka Sultan Abdullah Kembali Ke bentan, bersama Putranya Raja Jamal dan Biyazid, serta Raja Isap yang kemudian hari dikenal sebagai Marhom Kasab.. Raja Biyazid kelak itulah Gocah Pahlawan atau Laksmana Khoja Bentan. .. semoga sumber ini dapat dipertimbangkan, karena hasil penelitian kami Merujuk begitu.. corat marut sejarah Melayu yang merupakan kelanjutan dari Sumpah setia antara anak cucu sang sapurba, Datu' Demang di Lebar daun dan Ratu Iskandarsyah Bentan, maka banyak hal ehwal sejarah Bentan sengaja dihilangkan untuk menghindari " FITNAH DAN NISTA" sebagaimana yang dikatakan "Jika Salah Amponkanlah atau Bunohlah Namun Dinista Jangan".. akibat perjalanan Kerajaan maka timbul perselisihan Antara Bentan dan Melaka (Cerita bisa kita jelaskan nanti) yang akhirnya Telanai Bentan memindahkan Pusat pemerintahannya ke Siak yang kemudian Disebut Gasib sesuai dengan daerah Tahluk Mahasenopati Telanai GRAHI - SIAK DAN BENTAN Kerajaan GASIB terimakasih.ketika Raja Permaisura Raja Gasib anak dari Telanai Bentan ke-V tidak tunduk kepada Melaka, Sultan Mansur Syah memerintahkan Kho0ja Nina Membunuhnya dan Menyebut ia dari Pagaruyung bukan dari bentan(Sejarah melayu "Agar tidak terjadi Fitnah dibelakang hari), di saat pemerintahan Sultan Mansyur Syah ini Juga Telanai Terenggano dibunuh karena mengata "Melaka Itu Mengikut Akan Aku bukan Aku Mengikut Melaka karena melaka adalah Tanah Nenek Moyangku" karena ia kesal kepada Sultan yang telah membunuh Anak Saudaranya Raja Permaisura anak Telanai Bentan.. walaupun akhirnya Sultan Mansyur menikahkan Putrinya dengan Megat Khudu anak dari Raja Permaisura yang kemudian diislamkan Bergelar Sultan Ibrahim Syah, Sultan DiGasib. kisah dendam Bentan Melaka ini tidak berakhir disini (Kelak akan Kita Lanjutkan) Terimakasih.

12 Dec 2012. Datuk Perpatih Cek Nuri jangan berkhayal, sudah jelas raja gassib itu raja keturunan dharmasraya (pagarruyung) bukan raja bentan; ini prasastinya:bahwa pada tahun Saka 1105 (1183), atas perintah Kamraten An Maharadja Srimat Trailokya raja Maulibhusanawarmadewa, hari ketiga bulan naik bulan Jyestha, hari Rabu, mahasenapati Gelanai yang memerintah Grahi menyuruh mraten Sri Nano membuat arca Budha. Beratnya 1 bhara 2 tula, dan nilai emasnya 10 tamlin (Prasasti Grahi). Jadi jangan sebarkan cerita seolah-olah ianya sejarah, sejarah berdasarkan fakta, berdasar bukti, bukan berdasar bual dan cakap..

26 Jun 2014. Alisman dlis ini dapat refrensi nya dari mana ya ?

14 Okt 2014. rita sinaga Saudara Nuri Chek(cahyono) shiddiq setahu saya memang hobby mengaku2 tentang sejarah dari mulut ke mulut, sedikit bersumber dari pustaka.Bahkan anehnya nuri cahyono shiddiq sangat mendukung seorang keturunan jawa menjadi pemangku adat bentan yg tiba2 berubah dan bergelar sultan bentan Huzrin hood (bkn garis keturunan sultan manapon di kerajaan semenanjung tanah Melayu alias org kebanyakan sj),sdgkan fakta sejarah bhw bentan daerah takluk kerajaan lingga riau johor pahang. berhentilah kacaukan sejarah, benar kata datuk perpatih....jangan berkhayal !
