Dol Said

Malacca Sarawak Negeri Sembilan Perak Pahang Sabah Kelantan Terengganu Dol Said (Jawi: دول سعيد) or in full Dato' Abdul Said was a 19th-century Malay leader of the Naning region in Malaya.

He opposed the taxation policy of the British in the area and refused to pay it which lead to the Naning War.

Naning however successfully defended itself by employing guerilla tactics and reverting aid from Malay allies, which included the chiefdoms of Seri Menanti, Rembau, Sungai Ujong, Johol and Muar.

The British realized that the rebelling forces could not be easily suppressed, and requested reinforcement from the Yamtuan Muda Raja Ali in Rembau.

Later in March 1832, the British sent a larger force, consisting of 1200 soldiers to defeat Dol Said's men.
