Mister Mohammad Mokhtar bin Abdelaziz;a Singapore based civil intermarried in the Royal family of Riau-Lingga;is a man with much interest in the history of the Kingdom of his wife Her Highness Raja Habibah binti Raja Hassan.His wife in fact belongs to the Buginese co-dynasty (together with the Sultan,who belongs to the other co-dynasty)of vice-Kings,or Yang di Pertuan Muda's or Yam Tuam Muda's.He and his wife were the first representatives of the 2 co-dynasties of Riau-Lingga Sultanate,who entered Indonesian soil for official purposes since 93 years,since the major people of the co-dynasties choose in 1911 to go into "free exile" to Singapore,after which the Dutch East-Indish Government abolished the monarchy in Riau-Lingga.They went their as representatives of the Riau-Lingga co-dynasties during the 4th National Indonesian Royal Festival(Festival Keraton Nusantara IV)in september 2004 in Yogyakarta.)Mister M.M.

Riau-Lingga encompassed before Riau-Lingga with vasalstates like Indragiri and other areas,Singapore,and the present Malaysian sultanates of Johore and Pahang(at least these areas in Malaysia).The Sultanate of Riau-Lingga was before one of the most biggest and important monarchies of the Malayu area.
The language,which is speaken here later on became the National language(as "lingua franca")of Indonesia.
