Colonel Paduka Sri Baginda Sultan Sir Abdullah al-Mu’tassim Billah Shah ibni al-Marhum Sultan Sir Ahmad al-Muadzam Shah is the third Sultan of modern Pahang who ruled from 1917 to 1932. He is the third son of Paduka Sri Baginda Al-Sultan Besar Sir Ahmad Mua’azzam Shah ibni al-Marhum Bendahara Sri Maharaja Tun ‘Ali by his wife, Cik Kusuma binti Tok Minal Daeng Koro. He succeeded on the death of his elder brother, Mahmud Shah in 1917.[1]

During his reign, he abolished a modified form of the corvée commonly practiced in Pahang. Beginning 1919, substantial Malay reservation areas were opened in order to ensure that land remained available to local Malays. The Sultanate Lands Enactment was promulgated in 1919, vesting certain areas in the Sultan and giving him the right to regulate the leasing and occupation of those areas.[2]

The year 1930 marked the creation of the title Tengku Mahkota ('heir apparent') along with other new Malay titles, and the framing of agnatic rules of succession.[3]

By 1931, Abdullah's health began to fail, yet he still managed to attend the Durbar held in August that year.[4] He died the following year, at the Istana Kuning, Pekan on 22 June 1932 and buried at the Royal Cemetery, Kuala Pahang, having had issue, ten sons and seven daughters.[5]
