This Sultan is a wise and the most famous ruler of the state of Johor. Since he was a child, the Sultan received Western education and knew a lot about the ways of ruling of Western countries. He made frequent visits to European countries, especially United Kingdom , to learn how to rule a country. His wisdom made him a good friend of British traders and rulers. He was also a good friend of Queen Victoria , the queen of United Kingdom at the time. The queen made him the Emperor of Johor in 1868. In 1885, Johor signed a treaty with the United Kingdom. Through this treaty, Johor was recognised by the British as an independent state, able to rule itself. Emperor Abu Bakar was also made the Sultan of Johor. He accepted a British officer as a consultant, not an adviser. Unlike other states in the Malay Peninsula , where the Sultan must listen to everything the adviser says, the Sultan of Johor could ignore what a consultant says. He also raised the flag of Johor higher than the flag of the British, to show the higher status of the State of Johor. He was succeeded by his son, Sultan Ibrahim after his death.
