Bendaharaship

[edit]

Tun Koris was the third son of the 19th Bendahara of Johor Tun Abdul Majid who succeeded his elder brother, Tun Muhammad in 1803 after he drowned at sea off the coast of Endau.[1]

Tun Muhammad's 40 ship-mates survived the shipwreck, but when they arrived at Pekan, all but two of them were killed by Tun Koris, as they had not died with Tun Muhammad. He stabbed to death with a long kris. Koris' treatment of the ship-wrecked survivors earned him a reputation as cruel.[1]

Tun Koris had been raised in Endau by his Bugis mother and made Tuan Jambul his chief minister. He died in 1806[1] leaving behind two sons and a daughter. He was succeeded by his son, Tun Ali.[2]
