'''Putra ibni Almarhum Syed Hassan Jamalullail''' ([[Jawi script|Jawi]]: {{lang|ms|توانكو سر سيد هارون ڤوترا ابن المرحوم سيد حسن جمل الليل}}; 25 November 1920 – 16 April 2000) was the [[Raja of Perlis]] from 1945 until his death in 2000, and the third [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] (King of Malaysia), from 1960 to 1965.

==Early career==
Putra was born in [[Arau]] and was the son of Syed Hassan bin Syed Mahmud Jamalullail (1897 &ndash; 18 October 1935), sometime ''bakal raja'' or [[heir presumptive]] to the throne of [[Perlis]], by his commoner wife Wan Teh binti Wan Endut (1898 &ndash; 27 December 1952).<ref>Finestone, Jeffrey and Shaharil Talib (1994) ''The Royal Families of South-East Asia'' Shahindera Sdn Bhd</ref> He was educated at the Arau Malay School and later at [[Penang Free School]] between 1937 and 1939.<ref>(27 December 2002) ''Penang Free School newsletter''</ref> At 18, he joined the Perlis administrative service, becoming a magistrate and in 1940, was transferred to [[Kuala Lumpur]] to serve as Second Magistrate in the Criminal Court.<ref>Willan, HC (1945) Interviews with the Malay rulers CAB101/69, CAB/HIST/B/4/7</ref>

==Perlis succession dispute==
The fourth Raja of Perlis, Syed Alwi ibni Syed Safi Jamalullail (born 1881; {{Reign|1905|1943}}) was childless and had several half-brothers competing for the role of heir presumptive.<ref>Buyong Adil (1981) ''Sejarah Perlis'' pp 34–35 DBP</ref> Succession to the Perlisian throne was not automatic and an heir presumptive had to be confirmed in that post by the State Council comprising the raja and several others.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) ''Sejarah Kerajaan Perlis 1841–1957'' p 231 MBRAS</ref>

Syed Putra's paternal grandfather Syed Mahmud (died 1919), was the oldest son of Raja Syed Safi ibni Almarhum Syed Alwi Jamalullail (the third Raja). He was also a half brother of Raja Syed Alwi.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit p 232</ref> He served as raja muda until 1912<ref>''Perlis State Council minutes'' (15 April 1912) CO273 1098a.386/22831</ref> when he was convicted and jailed in [[Alor Star]], [[Kedah]] until 1917. Two years later, he died in Alor Star.<ref>''Secret Memorandum Howitt to Shenton Thomas'' (25 March 1937) ''Papers of John Hamer'' MSS ind. Ocn. s 316 Box 1 File 1</ref> On 6 December 1934, Syed Mahmud's son Syed Hassan was, by a three to one vote, selected by the State Council as ''bakal raja'' or heir presumptive. However, Syed Hassan died on 18 October 1935.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit p 232</ref>

On 30 April 1938, again by a three to one vote, the State Council chose Syed Putra (son of Syed Hassan) as the ''bakal raja''. This choice was opposed by Syed Hamzah, the younger half-brother of Raja Syed Alwi and Vice-President of the State Council on the grounds that Syed Putra was too far removed from the throne under [[Islamic inheritance jurisprudence|Islamic inheritance laws]] (primogeniture did not then apply in Perlis). However, the British colonial rulers supported Syed Putra.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit p 262</ref>

==Japanese occupation==
At the outbreak of the [[Pacific War]], Raja Syed Alwi retreated to [[Kuala Kangsar]], [[Perak]]. He returned to Perlis on 28 December 1941 but was already very ill and state affairs were exercised by Syed Hamzah.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit p 266</ref> Syed Putra was at the time serving in the judiciary in [[Kuala Lumpur]] and had been advised by [[Sultan Musa Ghiatuddin Riayat Shah]] of [[Selangor]] to remain there. In May 1942, Syed Hamzah persuaded Raja Syed Alwi to withdraw Syed Putra's appointment as ''bakal raja'' and instead Syed Hamzah himself was appointed to that post. Raja Syed Alwi died in Arau on 1 February 1943 and a day later, before the funeral, Syed Hamzah was proclaimed fifth Raja of Perlis, by the consent of the Japanese Military Governor of [[Kedah]] and [[Perlis]].<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit pp 267–268</ref>

Syed Putra and his family stayed in [[Klang (city)|Klang]] until 15 May 1942 when he returned to [[Perlis]]. He lived in a hut near the [[Arau]] railway station and received a monthly allowance of $90 from Raja Syed Alwi but this ceased on the latter's death.<ref>Willan, HC (1945) Op Cit</ref> On 29 March 1945 he left for [[Kelantan]], the home state of his consort [[Tengku Budriah]], where he sold cakes and sundry goods for a living.<ref>Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail ''My Personal Experience Just Before and After the Japanese Occupation of Malaya'' in ''Papers of John Hamer'' MSS ind. Ocn. s 316 Box 1 File 1</ref>

==Return of the British==
The [[British Military Administration (Malaya)|British Military Administration]] (BMA) under [[Lord Mountbatten]] refused to recognise Syed Hamzah as Raja. On 18 September 1945, Syed Hamzah abdicated.<ref>Willan, HC (1945) Op Cit</ref><ref>Mahani Musa, ''Kongsi Gelap Melayu di Negeri-Negeri Utara Pantai Barat Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, 1821 hingga 1940-an'', pg 150-160</ref> He went into exile in [[Thailand]] and died in [[Arau]] on 20 February 1958.<ref>Finestone, Jeffrey and Shaharil Talib (1994) Op Cit</ref>

On 4 December 1945 the British proclaimed Syed Putra as sixth Raja of Perlis.<ref>Mahani Musa, ''Kongsi Gelap Melayu di Negeri-Negeri Utara Pantai Barat Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, 1821 hingga 1940-an'', pg 150-160</ref> He returned to Perlis from [[Kelantan]], via [[Padang Besar, Thailand|Padang Besar]]. He was installed on 12 March 1949.<ref>Che Puan Temenggung Perlis (1995) ''Putra: Biografi yang diperkenankan tentang riwayat hidup DYMM Raja Perlis, Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail'' pp 53 and 56</ref>

==Malayan Union==
Raja Syed Putra objected to the [[Malayan Union]] treaty on the grounds that it contravened the 1930 British-Perlis Treaty giving governing power to the raja-in-council. However, his protests that he signed under duress was rejected by the British. Subsequently, like all other Malay rulers, Raja Syed Putra refused the Malayan Union treaty.<ref>Tang Su Chin, Julie (2002) Op Cit pp 279–297</ref>

==Election as Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong==
Raja Syed Putra was elected Deputy [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] by the Malay rulers and served in that office from 14 April 1960 until the death of [[Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah]] on 1 September 1960.

==Yang di-Pertuan Agong==
[[File:Agong3-222x300.jpg|thumb|Official Portrait of Tuanku Syed Putra as the 3rd Yang di-Pertuan Agong]]
[[File:On 27 September 1962, His Majesty the Yand di-pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Harun Putra ibni al-Marhum Syed Hassan Jamalullail awarded P. Ramlee the medal of honour as the Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN).jpg|thumb|On 27 September 1962, Raja Syed Putra conferred the [[Order of the Defender of the Realm|Ahli Mangku Negara]] (AMN) award on [[P. Ramlee]], a Malaysian actor and musician.]]
Raja Syed Putra was elected as the third [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] of [[Federation of Malaya|Malaya]] and served in that office from 21 September 1960. At 39 years and 301 days, he is the youngest Yang di-Pertuan Agong ever elected. He was installed at the [[Istana Negara, Jalan Istana|Istana Negara]] on 4 January 1961. On 16 September 1963 [[Federation of Malaya|Malaya]], [[Sabah|British Borneo]], [[Sarawak]] and [[Singapore]] unified into the [[Malaysia|Federation of Malaysia]]. He completed his term in office on 20 September 1965. His son, [[Sirajuddin of Perlis|Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin]] was elected as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Agong and served from 2001 to 2006 after the death of the incumbent, [[Salahuddin of Selangor|Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah]].

Raja Syed Putra's term of office as Yang di-Pertuan Agong was marked by the [[Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]] between newly created Malaysia and its larger neighbour, [[Indonesia]]. He offered to stay on as Yang di-Pertuan Agong at the end of his term, to see out the end of confrontation, but this suggestion was rejected by Prime Minister [[Tunku Abdul Rahman]].<ref>Tunku Abdul Rahman (1977) ''Looking Back'' p 343 Pustaka Antara, Kuala Lumpur</ref>

As Yang di-Pertuan Agong, he instructed proper treatment of the [[Royal Regalia of Malaysia|royal regalia]], which he believed was partly responsible for the mysterious illness and death of Sultan [[Hisamuddin of Selangor]], his immediate predecessor.<ref>Tunku Abdul Rahman (1977) Op Cit p 342</ref><!-- 

The [[Stadium Negara]], the [[Malaysian Houses of Parliament|Parliament House]], the [[Muzium Negara]], the [[Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport|Subang International Airport]], the [[Masjid Negara]] and the wharves at Klang Straits represent some of the milestones his reign.

Putra was perturbed that the [[PAP-UMNO relations|separation of Singapore]] from Malaysia [[Proclamation of Singapore|occurred]] on just three weeks before the [[Merdeka]] celebrations, and about one month before he left office. -->

==Later role==
Raja Syed Putra became the doyen of the Malay rulers, giving advice to more junior rulers especially during the constitutional crisis with the Prime Minister [[Mahathir Mohamad]] in 1983 and 1993.

== Death ==
He died at the [[National Heart Institute (Malaysia)|National Heart Institute]], Kuala Lumpur on 16 April 2000 from a heart attack. At that time, he was the longest reigning [[monarch]] in the world, a position he inherited from [[Franz Joseph II, Prince of Liechtenstein]] in 1989. He was buried at the Royal Mausoleum in [[Arau]], [[Perlis]].<ref>(18 April 2000) ''Utusan Malaysia''</ref>

==Family life==
Tuanku Syed Putra married twice:
# in 1941 to [[Tengku Budriah binti Tengku Ismail]] (1924&ndash;2008) of the [[Pattani Province|Patani]] [[Sultanate]] in [[Thailand]]. She served as his consort with the title of Raja Perempuan of Perlis and as [[Raja Permaisuri Agong]]. She is the mother of the current Raja of Perlis, [[Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin]] as well as five sons and five daughters.
# in 1952 to Che Puan Mariam (née {{ill|Riam Pessayanavin|th|เรียม เพศยนาวิน}}; 23 April 1923&ndash;1986) by whom he had three sons and one daughter. She was a Thai Muslim from [[Bangkok]] and [[Miss Thailand|Miss Siam]] in 1939.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.skn.ac.th/skl/project2/siam51/riam.htm |title=เรียม เพศยนาวิน |access-date=10 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303174306/http://www.skn.ac.th/skl/project2/siam51/riam.htm |archive-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
