What Is Left Is The Staff Quarters

The location where the GPS Darau Primary School used to be is now the staff quarters, near the Darau River. Even the Darau River has changed as it is now widened as a flood mitigation project. This location is at the road side of the old Tuaran Road, about 13 kilometers from Kota Kianbalu City.

Family Ties Of the late Sultan Of Sulu

I came across these names of important and respected people who had supposedly been the direct descendent of the Sultan Of Sulu. Of course there had been many people who had claimed to be the direct descendents. However this one concerns the person by the name of the late Sri Paduka Maulana Sultan Jamalul Alam, as well as that of the late Seri Paduka Maulana Sultan Saidina Abu Bakar Shariful Hashim and their heir Al Marhrum Sultan Jamalul Alam II/III Bin Al Mahrum Sultan Bararuddin Alam.

There had been strong relationship between Brunei and Sulu in the past and we could see this in Paduka Mat Salleh being sent to then North Borneo as 'wajir' by the Sultan Of Sulu as well as through family ties in Shariff Rom Osman and the daughter of Sultan of Sulu named Dayang Sayak.

We should also remember the services of Al Mahrum Sharif Makdum, whose tomb is in Pulau Simunul in the islands of Sulu, Philippines who was reponsible to convert the pagans at Silam Lahad Datu. Many of the Suluk of the Simunul community now lives in Sandakan at Kg Bokhara.
