Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim
As the Temenggong aged,
he gradually delegated his
state administrative
duties to Abu Bakar.
During this period, several British officers
praised of Abu Bakar's excellent diplomatic
skills, as mentioned in William Napier's
diaries, who was the senior law agent of
Singapore. Napier had accompanied Abu Bakar
to fetch Tengku Teh, the mother of the
deposed Sultan of Lingga, Mahmud Muzaffar
Shah, to Johor shortly after her son began to
exert sovereignty claims over Pahang.
