Abstract

Malaysian history is filled with various recordings of events. Among the biggest topics in talking about the country's history is the episode of British occupation in Malaya. Although this country has been invaded by foreign powers such as the Portuguese, the Dutch, the British and finally Japan, the British power is more dominant because it left more of an impact on Malaya from the past until now. Question that is still a question is about the status of the British occupation in this country whether they colonized or sheltered this country. However, many previous writings saw it as colonization, so the community saw Malaya as having been colonized. But there are parties who see Malaya as not colonized. This statement is still a debate among historians and intellectuals until now. The objective of this study is to record and analyze the agreements made between the British and the Government of Pahang and conclude at the end of the discussion whether the British occupation in Pahang was in the form of colonization or protectorate. This study uses a qualitative methodology based on primary sources such as reports, agreements and documents found in the national archives of Malaysia.

Pengisian sejarah Malaysia dipenuhi dengan pelbagai rakaman peristiwa. Antara topik yang paling besar dalam membicarakan tentang sejarah negara adalah episod pendudukan British di Tanah Melayu. Meskipun negara ini telah dimasuki oleh kuasa asing seperti Portugis, Belanda, British dan akhir sekali Jepun, kuasa British lebih dominan kerana ia meninggalkan lebih banyak kesan ke atas Tanah Melayu dari dahulu sehingga kini. Satu persoalan yang masih lagi menjadi tanda tanya ialah tentang status pendudukan British di negara ini sama ada mereka menjajah atau menaungi negara ini. Namun, banyak penulisan sebelum ini melihat ia sebagai penjajahan, maka masyarakat melihat Tanah Melayu telah dijajah. Tetapi ada pihak melihat Tanah Melayu tidak dijajah. Pernyataan ini masih menjadi perdebatan dalam kalangan sejarawan dah intelektual sehingga kini. Objektif kajian ini bertujuan untuk merekodkan dan menganalisis perjanjian-perjanjian yang dibuat antara British dan Kerajaan Pahang dan membuat kesimpulan di akhir perbincangan sama ada pendudukan British di Pahang adalah berbentuk penjajahan atau penaungan. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif berdasarkan sumber primer seperti laporan, perjanjian dan dokumen yang terdapat di arkib negara Malaysia.
