Daeng Parani (died ca. 1726) was one of the five Bugis brothers from Makassar, Sulawesi, who established political dominance over the royal houses of Peninsular Malaysia. Daing Parani became personally embroiled in the politics of the Johor-Riau Sultanate in the early 18th century.

Early life

Daeng Parani was the eldest among five sons of Daing Rilaka and Upu Tenribong;[1] his four other brothers being Daeng Menambun, Daeng Marewah, Daeng Chelak and Daeng Kemasi.[2] As a youth, Daing Parani was said to have hooked up with a concubine of the Raja of Bone, during which he killed a Macassar prince and hence forcing his entire family to resettle in Riau.[1]

Involvement in Johor

Daeng Parani agreed to assist a Minangkabau prince, Raja Kechil, in overthrowing Sultan Abdul Jalil IV, the Bendahara (viceroy) who had taken power after the death of Sultan Mahmud Shah II without an official heir. Kechil claimed to be Mahmud's posthumous son. In 1717, however, Kechil attacked Riau without Daeng Parani, and claimed the throne. Abdul Jalil IV's son, Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah, then sought the help of Daeng Parani and his Bugis warriors. They joined with Sulaiman and defeated Kechil in 1722. Sulaiman installed Daeng Parani's brother, Daeng Merewah, as Yam Tuan Muda (crown prince); under this arrangement, the Bugis were the actual power behind the throne of Johor.

Daeng Parani was killed about 1726 in Kedah. His descendants through Tun Abdul Jamal (a maternal grandson of Daeng Parani), son of Bendahara Tun Abbas,[3] gradually became the rulers of Johor during the 19th century.[4] Daing Parani married Tengku Tengah, a daughter of Sultan Abdul Jalil IV.[5]
