Sultan Hussein Mua'zzam Shah ibni Mahmud Shah Alam[4] (Malay: سلطان حسين معظم شاه ابن محمود شاه عالم, 1776 – 5 September 1835)[5] was the 19th ruler of Johor-Riau.[6] He signed two treaties with Britain which culminated in the founding of modern Singapore; during which he was nominally given recognition by the British as the Sultan of Johor and Singapore in 1819 and the Sultan of Johor in 1824.[7]
However, Sultan Hussein was regarded by nobles as a British puppet monarch, at least during the first few years of his reign. Towards his last years of his reign and during the first half of his son's reign as the Sultan of Johor, limited recognition was given by a few nobles.[8] Known as having a personality that did not impress the British or the local Malays, the contemporary writer Munshi Abdullah remarked that he was a "tiger without teeth".[9]
