Sultan Ali of Johor

Almarhum Sultan Ali ibni Almarhum Sultan Husain Shah was the sultan of Sultanate of Johor from 1835 to 1877. He was a weak sultan and was overshadowed by his temenggung, Temenggung Daeng Ibrahim. In 1855, he signed a treaty with the British in Singapore. In the treaty, the sultan agreed to transfer all of his powers over Johor to the temenggung with the exception of Kesang which is located in the district of Muar.

When the temenggung died in 1862, the temenggung's son, Abu Bakar took his father's place and assumed control of Johor. With the death of Sultan Ali in 1877, Abu Bakar was installed as the new sultan and was styled as Sultan Abu Bakar. The historical Sultan Ali mausolueum is located near Umbai Mosque in Umbai, Melaka on Federal Route 5.
