Tengku Abd.Kadir Kamaruddin Raja of Patani |
When Phraya Saiburi (Ni-Pae) was
appointed the governor of Saiburi, he
moved out from Nyiringa(Nyigno) palace
to construct a new palace at Salingdongbayu now situated in Taluban Su-District , Saiburi district, Pattani
province.
After Phraya Saiburi (Ni-Pae)
moving out from Nyiringa(Nyigno) palace
and resided at Taluban Salingdongbayu palace, left a huge Nyirigna people and community behind with out any leader, the Siamese
government then appointed Ni-kuechi(Ni-Kari) from Bumae village(now in village
No.1 ,Nyigno district, Narathiwat province) as
Mae-Kong- titled Muen-sawek -Amat or people called Tok Mae-Kong.
Ni-kuechi(Ni-Kari) or Tok
Mae-Kong Muen-sawek-Amat married to Ni-Putih, a relative of Ni-Bongsu- the royal guard of
Phraya Saiburi(Ni-Pae), governor of Saiburi. Originally, Ni-Bongsu is resided
in Nyiringa(Nyigno)but came to live with
the governor in Saiburi because of duty. Tok Mae-Kong Muen-sawek -Amat born one
son to Ni-Putih, name Ni- Wae Ni-kuechi( later received royal title as
Khun-Lahan Pracha-Chet)
Mean while Bangkok government had
sent down Khunluang-Sukhumwinit as commissioner of Patani and had adopted a new
collection of opium and liquor tax by
divided percentage of 50-50 between Patani and Bangkok, later he had
collected land tax from people with out given any receipt, this in turn had
given him an opportunity to collect land tax many times a year.
In 1900 the Siamese government
had imposed the new collection system of
import and export tax in Patani by given
12.5 percent of revenue received
from the collection to Patani while another 77.5 percent was sent to Bangkok.
The Patani Rajas opposed the new tax system of Siamese government by saying
that the authority of tax collection was belong to them not Siamese government,
the Patani Rajas feel uneasy with the situation and started to oppose the
Siamese government, this led to an arrested of Tengku Abd. Kadir Kamarudin, Patani Raja in
the morning of Friday, 21 February 1902 by Phraya Sri Sahathep, deputy interior
minister. After the arrest, Tengku Kamarudin Abd. Kadir was deported to Songkhla and Pitsanulok respectively, he
was charged with treason(disobeyed an order of Siamese King) and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment in
Pitsanulok.

Nakornsrithammarat arrested Tebgku Ngoh Shamsuddin, Raja of Legeh with 8 of
his men and at the same time Tengku Abd. Muttalib, Raja of Saiburi was also

Saiburi then they decided to send their family to take refuge in Kelantan.
Ni-Bongsu was one of the royal
guard with 5 or 6 others had the order to protect 10
Saiburi royal family during travelling to take refuge in Kelantan .
In this adventure, Ni-Bongsu had
arrested Ni- Wae Ni-kuechi son of
Muen-Sawek-Amat as the hostage because his father, Muen-Sawek-Amat was a Siamese official and
better known about the rout to Kelantan, Muen-Sawek-Amat had a lot of relative all the way long
to Kelantan , starting from Legeh, Boango, Joh-Irong until Sungai Padi
because he was originated from Baenu(Yaning ) village, Joh-Irong. The Saiburi royal guards better

security of Saiburi royal family.

During the travelling of Saiburi royal family to seek refuge in Kelantan , they faced a lot of difficulties, they
ate very simple food, slept in simple places,
sometimes people were given
food to eat but people along the way pay
much attention and respect when
they knew that the company belong to the royal family. At last the
company reached Tok Ra-Weng village situated
between Legeh and Kelantan and probably out
Siamese government influence.
When reached Tok Ra-Weng village,
Ni-Bongsu the chief of Royal guard had a serious sickness and had to stay at
Tok Ra-Weng house for treatment, Tok
Ra-Weng was a man who migrated from Raweng village,(Jerang(Yarang), Patani) and
establishing himself there.
Tok Ra-Weng village was a pier, transporting merchandise to Tok Mo’ village(gold mine) thus had a bit of
development. Ni-Bongsu was treated at Tok Ra-Weng house for many days but not
yet better, the royal family then had decided to left him for further treatment
at Tok Ra-Weng house and they went
further crossing the river to seek refuge in Kelantan.
After recover from sickness, Ni-
Bongsu did not travel to Kelantan to
join the royal family there but established himself at this village by married the woman in this village and born one son, Ni-Hae bin Ni-Bongsu.
Ni- Wae Ni-kuechi, the hostage of
Saiburi royal family feel insecure with
out his close relative(Ni-Bongsu) joining the company of Saiburi royal family,
in the night he escaped himself from the royal company, until morning the Saiburi royal family knew
the story of Ni- Wae Ni-kuechi but did not pay any interest to get him back
because they were too tired and now they feel safe in Kelantan dominion. The
royal company traveled further to Pasir Puteh village, Kelantan and established
