WHO I AM ?
I AM JAMES BROOKE, THE FIRST WHITE RAJA OF SARAWAK
Here are the explanation given by Limsing1958 :
I am Sir James Brooke,born 29 April 1803.
I am the original White Raja of Sarawak, currently a 124,450 square kilometer member state in the Federation Of Malaysia, situated on the north western portion of the island of Borneo. The fictional character, Tuan (Lord) Jim, a novel by Joseph Conrad was inspired by me.
Legend has it that the territory of what is now Sarawak was gradually given to me by the Sultan of Brunei as a series of rewards for helping the Sultan destroy the pirates in the seas around the island in a long drawn out war. As more territory was ceded to me, the Sultanate of Brunei was eventually reduced to the size it is now.
>The truth is that I was was an empire builder for the British just as much as Sir Stamford Raffles or Robert Clive of India were. I helped the Sultan put down an uprising by the Dayaks after which I turned my guns around and threatened the Sultan. To preserve his independence, the Sultan gradually ceded territories to me.
I died in England on 11 June 1868, officially unmarried (in fact I prefered men) and was succeeded by my nephew, Sir Charles Anthoni Johnson-Brooke.
