摘要

1877年,柔佛州苏丹阿里依斯干达沙阿去世后,马来半岛上的一小块土地被割让给柔佛州王公(后来的苏丹)阿布巴卡尔。这是在英国总督和殖民办公室的默许和批准下完成的,苏丹阿里的儿子东姑阿拉姆(Tunku Alam)的主张被搁置一边。虽然在当地表现为大君政治活动的胜利,但Muar继承对英国在马来半岛的前进运动来说是一个短暂的遏制。本文试图解释这一异常现象的原因,以及罗宾逊州长在事件中的作用。定性研究是使用像马来西亚国民报文件、殖民地报纸和殖民地办公室文件等主要来源进行的。与传统史学将英国的前进描绘成线性和不可避免的相反,我们表明海峡殖民地总督的个人倡议在英国对麻岛政策的发展中发挥了至关重要的作用,这些政策后来影响了19世纪英国在马来半岛殖民政府的政治。特别是,罗宾逊总督反对给予大王公更大影响力的个人信念,标志着对大王公的殖民态度开始变得强硬,导致英国从19世纪80年代开始恢复前进政策。Muar事件将被证明是一个例外,证明了这一规则,英国在马来半岛不干涉的经验反而为其以良好管理的名义进一步直接扩张提供了理由。

Governor Sir William Robinson and The Muar Succession: A Consideration
In 1877, the small territory of Muar in the Malay Peninsula was ceded to Maharaja (later Sultan) Abu Bakar of Johor after the death of Sultan Ali Iskandar Shah of Johor. This was done with the connivance and approval of the British Governor and Colonial Office, setting aside the claims of Sultan Ali’s son, Tunku Alam. Although presented locally as a triumph for the politicking of the Maharajah, the Muar Succession was a short-lived check to the British forward movement in the Malay Peninsula. This article attempts to explain the reason for this anomaly, and the role of Governor Robinson during the event. The qualitative research was conducted using primary sources like Arkib Negara Malaysia documents, colonial newspapers and Colonial Office files. Contrary to conventional historiography which portrays the British forward movement as linear and inevitable, we show that the personal initiative of the Governor of the Straits Settlements played a crucial role in the development of British policy towards Muar, which would later influence the politics of British colonial administration in the Malay Peninsula in the 19th century. In particular, the personal convictions of Governor Robinson against granting the Maharajah more influence marked the start of hardening colonial attitudes towards the Maharajah, leading to a resumption in British forward policy from the 1880s. The Muar affair would prove to be the exception that proves the rule, where the British experience in nonintervention in the Malay Peninsula provided instead justification for further direct expansion in the name of good administration.
