Riau -
The 3,000 islands of the Riau province straddle the Straits of Malacca,
one of the oldest and business trading routes in the world. For centuries
the islands have provided a safe haven to traders and sailors from Europe,
India and China and as a result they have strong foreign historical links.
Riau, which includes a large part of East Sumatra, is the heartland of the
Malays and the source of Indonesia's Malay-based national language. The
first book of Malay grammar, called Bustanul Katibin, was written and published
here in 1857 and Malay was also adapted by foreign seafarers and traders
in the 14th and 15th centuries so that they could communicate and be successful,
effectively creating a language of trade and power.
The Kingdom of Malacca played a leading role in the history of the area
since its founding in 1402 by Parameswara. With the arrival of the Portuguese
however, a period of wars for control of the Malay states around the Straits,
began. The situation was aggravated with the arrival of the Dutch and British
in the early l 7th century. A turbulent conflict followed which was partially
resolved by the Treaty of London in 1824, which gave the Dutch control of
all territories claimed by European countries south of Singapore. This area
included Riau, and effectively severed its links with Johor and the mainland.
The Dutch subjugated and dissolved the rebellious Riau Sultanate in 1911,
but the province's influence remained strong.
