Muzaffar Shah, the fifth Sultan of Malacca who reigned from 1445 to 1458 refused to acknowledge the suzerainty of Ligor over his country.
The Ligorians, in assertion of their claim, sent an invading army led by Awi Chakri, overland to Malacca.
Muzaffar Shah then conceived the idea of checking Ligorian pretensions by attacking the Ligor vassal state of Pahang.
An expedition was organised by Muzaffar's son, Raja Abdullah (Mansur Shah) and was personally led by the Malaccan Bendahara Tun Perak with two hundred sail, big and small, accordingly proceeded to Pahang and conquered it in the year 1454.
The victors, anxious to gain the goodwill of the Bendahara, hastened in pursuit of the fugitive king until he was captured and carried together with his daughter to Malacca.
