Patih Gumantar and Gajah Mada are said to have traveled together to Muang Thai to resist the attack of Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire.

Evidence of the relationship between the Sidiniang Kingdom and the Majapahit Empire is the existence of a keris (ceremonial knife) that was presented to Patih Gumantar.

Putri Kesumba was then married to Opu Daeng Menambun, a pioneer of Islamic influence in Mempawah and one of the five Bugis brothers.

Opu Tenrri borong Daeng Rilekke had five sons who were invited to travel to the Malayan Peninsula.

Opu Tendriburang Daeng Rilaga and his five sons played an important role in the Malayan Peninsula and Borneo, especially in the spread of Islam.

Opu Daeng Menambun's brothers, who were in the Johor Sultanate at the time helping quell the upheaval there, immediately left for Matan.

Opu Daeng Menambun was then married to Ratu Kesumba, daughter of Sultan Muhammad Zainuddin.

[4][6] After the death of Opu Daeng Menambun's brothers, internal turmoil occurred again in the Matan Sultanate.

Opu Daeng Menambun moved the center of his government from Senggaok to Bukit Rama which was a fertile, prosperous, and strategic area, and was crowded with traders.

Husein Alkadrie was married to the daughter of Sultan Muhammad Muazzuddin named Nyai Tua Utin Kabanat.

In addition, Husein Alkadrie was allowed to occupy the Kuala Mempawah (Galah Herang) area to serve as a center for teaching Islam.

The next successor of Mempawah was the son of Opu Daeng Menambun, namely Gusti Jamiril who had the title Panembahan Adiwijaya Kusumajaya.

The stronghold of Mempawah, which at that time did not have a new king to replace Panembahan Adiwijaya, received support from the Dayak people and the Singkawang Sultanate.

Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman Alkadrie's wife, Utin Candramidi, is the daughter of Opu Daeng Menambun, the first ruler of Mempawah.

[1][4] Gusti Jati was crowned the leader of Mempawah around 1820 with the title Sultan Muhammad Zainal Abidin.

Sultan Muhammad Zainal Abidin moved the center of the government to the banks of the Mempawah River, to be precise on Pulau Pedalaman.

When the courtiers of Mempawah were lulled by the Dutch call for peace, the Pontianak Sultanate's war fleet invaded Pulau Pedalaman.

As a result of the sudden attack, Sultan Muhammad Zainal Abidin was forced to return to Bukit Rama to gather strength.

However, Sultan Muhammad Zainal Abidin did not return to Pulau Pedalaman, he chose to march upstream of the Mempawah River.

[1][10] The Japanese invasion of South East Asia caused tragedy for the kingdoms in West Borneo, including Mempawah and the Pontianak Sultanate.

However, at that time Gusti Jimmi Muhammad Ibrahim was not willing to be crowned Sultan of Mempawah because he still wanted to complete his education in Yogyakarta.

[2] In the end, at the urging of the people and the Dayak and Malay-Bugis traditional leaders, Gusti Jimmi Muhammad Ibrahim finally agreed to be crowned as the customary holder of the Mempawah.

Because they have joined and become part of the Republic of Indonesia, the leadership of Gusti Jimmi Muhammad Ibrahim, who holds the title of Panembahan XII of Mempawah, no longer has political authority.

[2] On 12 August 2002, due to an incurable illness, Panembahan Gusti Jimmi Muhammad Ibrahim handed over the power of the Mempawah Sultanate to his son, Pangeran Ratu Mulawangsa Mardan Adijaya Kesuma Ibrahim, who was crowned as Panembahan XII of Mempawah and reigns to this day.

In 2005, Panembahan Jimmi Muhammad Ibrahim died at the age of 73 and was buried in a traditional ceremony of Mempawah.
