I had a big story as reaction,but something went wrong,so niow short reply.The 3 sites I talked about are not really such as you describe.The Palembang site(wrong with his dates before 1920;normal in Indonesia)is around a former fanatic history royal,who was aceepted by locals and government as important royal and later also accepted his installation(also:divide and rule). A pity hardly any people from Indonesia,or with knowledge about Indonesia royaklty,or even Indonesia royalty post on this forum. Maybe,when I start my own website about the Indonesian dynasties in the present time,that will change. Thank you for your attention and all your efforts to talk about it. Yours sincerelly: --Previous Message--
Strange,that they don't react to my e-mails.Dutch p[eople are a bit still the old enemy(colony);learned on school.
Sulu royalty tend to do things you describe.In Indonesia also people have that intention to make publication,if their role not really good.
Another royalty site is www.hkmn-suryasumirta.com .
It is site of Pangeran Mangkunegoro IX of former principality of Mangkunegaran.
Not very interesting site.Hardly any new things added.
Good to now documentation about the principalities of Indonesia.Then you know,if some persons are good,or not.

: Dear readers;
:
: Apart from the information about the
: Sultan(s) of Kutai Kartanegara at
: www.kutaikartanegara.com , you also can find
: now information about another sultanate of
: Indonesia on internet: at
: www.sultanpalembang.com you can find the
: website around the rival-Sultan Iskandar
: Mahmud Baharuddin of Palembang(2006-2...)in
: S.-Sumatra.
: I hope interesting for you.
:
: Thank you for your attention.

: Thank you for the links. I will try to put
: links to different Asian Royal Families on
: top of this board. Do you think I should add
:
: [URL=www.sultanpalembang.com]www.sultanpalembang.com
: as well, or is there a site supporting
: another Sultan with a better claim than this
: "rival-Sultan" that you mention?
:
: I am afraid that when it comes to Asian
: Royalties there tends to be a somewhat
: reverse logic that seems to operate.
:
: The more doubtful the claim, the more likely
: a website or publication. Those who are
: secure in their positions and have litle to
: fear, rarely have websites or publish books.
:
: Consequently, one needs to be very, very
: careful when giving publicity to a
: particular website. If one does so without
: much care, one only ends up creating a rod
: for one's own back.
