[1] When the Malacca Sultanate fell to the Portuguese Empire in 1511, Mahmud Shah, his wife, children, and entourage retreated to Ulu Muar.
The people of Perak sent their representatives, namely Tun Saban and Nakhoda Kasim to Kampar to meet Mahmud Shah.
Mahmud Shah accepted and his prince, Raja Muzaffar, was ordered to go to Perak to become sultan.
From Klang with the guidance of Nakhoda Tumi who came from Manjong, Raja Muzaffar continued his journey to Perak.
Muzaffar Shah I then offered the title of Bendahara of Perak to anyone who could kill Tun Saban.
After Tun Saban died, Perak was then handed over to the rule of Muzaffar Shah I whose center of government was in Tanah Abang.
