Mister J.K. Grupe from Manilla;my contact with the Sultan's dynasty of Sulu;gave me the advise to visit http://sultanofsulu.org ,where you find the official website of one of the pretender-Sultans(one of the 9)of Sulu:Sultan Esmail D. Kiram II.He was installed in 2001 as rival to his halfbrother,who stayed to long in Manilla(from ca. 1990).Then local nobility and he thought,it would be better to install him as Sultan. Yours sincerelly:
I thought,that after some disagreement feelings between him and his halfbrother Sultan Muh. Jamalul Kiram III(from 1983);Esmail II was recognized as a s sort of local royal highest representative in Sulu area itself for his brother and Jamalul III just remained the real Sultan in Manilla.But now it seems,that that also has changed.
It is more or less for 50% a businesswebsite(inviting people to invest in the area(maybe via his organisation also)and to buy products from the area.It is maintained by an Western couple,who did much for the area and were given honourary titles some time ago.
It is nice to look for a short while at it.Also because of many old pictures of royalty and also of royalty in present time on it(mainly of Sulu),
but then you loose your interest,because it is not realy made fully out of feeling to make a gorgeous and interesting and also informing website about the Sulu dynasty.Only a businesswebsite it is the real idea behind it.
And it also fails to give good information/opinion,how they really will solve the division problem of the dynasty,which is the main problem,which prevents the dynasty from really functioning.
Maybe it is a new way for dynasties to present themselves.I saw before the Malaysia royalty and Brunei websites,but very uninteresting(more propaganda websites);so no opinions,whicch is a way to make a website interesting.
The other website of a Sultan of Sulu is mostly propaganda for the candidature/right of a Prince Fuad to be Sultan of Sulu.Sorry,I say it like this.Don't know how to say it another way.
And there are also now some Indonesia websites.Not totally interesting,the people hardly give reactions.
Espacially that is very pity.
I wish them all good luck with the working out of real good ideas.
That all the people will serve their people.
Not being a powerfull monarch is important,but how to serve your people.
God's bless for them.
