Of the Perak regalia we read: "Tan Saban was commanded by his mistress to open negotiations with Johor, and this having been done, a prince of the royal house of that kingdom, who traced his descent from the old line of Menangkabau, sailed for Perak to assume the sovereignty. He brought with him the insignia of royalty, namely, the royal drums (gandang nobat), the pipes (nafiri), the flutes (sarunei and bangsi), the betel-box (puan naga taru), the sword (chora mandakini), the sword (perbujang), the sceptre (kayu gamit), the jewel (kamala), the surat chiri, the seal of state (chap halilintar), and the umbrella (ubar-ubar). All these were enclosed in a box called Baninan." [51] In Selangor the regalia consisted of the royal instruments of music--(the big State Drum or naubat, beaten at the king's coronation; the two small State Drums (gendang); the two State Kettle-drums (langkara); the lempiri or State Trumpet, and the serunei or State Flute--to which perhaps a bangsi should be added, as in the Perak list)--which were seldom, if ever, moved, and the following articles which were carried in procession on state occasions: [52]-- 1. The royal Betel-box. 2. The Long K'ris--a kind of rapier used for Malay executions. 3. The two royal Swords; one on the right hand and one on the left (all of the articles mentioned hitherto being carried in front of the Sultan). 4. The royal "Fringed" Umbrella (payong ubor-ubor), carried behind the right-hand sword-bearer. 5. The royal "Cuspadore," carried behind the left-hand sword-bearer. 6. The royal Tobacco-box, carried at the Sultan's back. 7. The eight royal tufted Lances (tombak bendrang or bandangan), whose bearers were followed by two personal attendants, the latter of whom attended, besides, to anything that was broken or damaged; so that the procession numbered seventeen persons in all. [53] Of the Pahang regalia I have not been able to obtain a list with any pretensions to completeness, but from a remark by Mr. Clifford (the present Resident) in one of his books, they would appear to be essentially the same as those of the other Federated States. [54] A list of the Jelebu regalia (given me by Ungku Said Kechil of Jelebu) ran as follows:--
