Pengiran Haji Muhammad Salleh bin Pengiran Anak Haji Muhammad (1890 – February 1969)[1] was a Bruneian nobleman and politician who formerly held several high-ranking positions which included being a member of the State Council,[2] Privy Council, Legislative Council, and the Chief Kadi.[3][4]
Biography
[edit]Pengiran Muhammad Salleh was born in 1890,[5] at Kampong Pemancha Lama of Kampong Ayer.[6] He became the nation's Chief Kadi on 1 January 1940, under the rule of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin.[7] Additionally, he was also the Brunei State Religious Advisor.[4] He was a member of the State Council from in July 1941 and from 1946 to 1959. He was appointed in 1953 as a member of the Constitutional Advisory Committee (also known as the Tujuh Serangkai).[8] He served as a member of Religious Council from 1955 to 1969, and from 1960 to 1966, he was an official member of Legislative Council and Executive Council.[1] Politically, Salleh involved with the founding of the Persatuan Sahabat Pena Brunei (PSPB) along with other Bruneian politicians such as Hasbollah Daud and Marsal Maun.[9]
In May 1968, Pengiran Muhammad Salleh officially became a member of wazir. The last person to have the title was Pengiran Anak Muhammad Hassan, who held it during Sultan Hashim Jalilul Alam Aqamaddin's reign from 1900 to 1968. The title was out of usage for more than 50 years after 1900 as a result of a mix of political and economic circumstances. Finally, the title was restored and given to Salleh prior to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's coronation in 1968, marking the resuscitation of one of Brunei's oldest titles.[10]
Pengiran Muhammad Sharifuddin interviewed Salleh in 1968 and 1969 regarding Brunei's ancient royal wedding custom. 'Royal Weddings', an article published in the 1969 Brunei Museum Journal, is a highly significant source on the topic.[10] He died in February 1969.[1]
