About the author
Buyong Adil
21 books7 followersYusuf bin Adil, better known as Buyong Adil, received his early education at Sekolah Melayu Teluk Anson and later entered the Kolej Latihan Sultan Idris (SITC), Tanjung Malim in 1924. He was the best student at SITC and became a lecturer there after graduating. He began to write on history after his teacher, Cikgu Abdul Hadi Hassan, shifted to Kelantan. In 1939, Buyong Adil wrote Sejarah Alam Melayu Penggal IV and Sejarah Melayu V.
During the Japanese occupation, he was selected to undergo Japanese teacher training at the Tokyo Shihan Gakko which is located in Kajang, Selangor.
After the Japanese occupation ended, he was appointed as a headmaster in a school in Ipoh. During this time, he started being actively involved in the Perak Malay Coalition (Perikatan Melayu Perak). This led to the British appointing him as the head for the radio station for all the Malay schools in Singapore (which was at that time still a part of Malaysia). He also directed his first play after the Japanese occupation. 'Megat Terawis' was staged mainly for the teachers and their family members. Later, he became the historical advisor for Tan Sri P Ramlee's first movie to be shown in colour: 'Hang Tuah'.
After retiring from the government in 1962, he was chosen as a member of Singapore's Public Services Commission (Perkhidmatan Awam Singapura) from 1963 until 1969. During that time, he managed to write Sejarah Johor, Sejarah Selangor, Sejarah Perak and Sejarah Pahang. He also assisted Tan Sri Senu Abdul Rahman in collecting materials for the book Revolusi Mental in 1970.
In 1971, he started work at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) as a research officer for history. This was when he began to write his other books such as Sejarah Sarawak, Sejarah Perlis, Sejarah Negeri Sembilan, Sejarah Melaka, Sejarah Kedah, Sejarah Terengganu and Sejarah Kelantan which were published by DBP. He died on August 31, 1976.
The Government English Secondary School (GESS) in Tapah was renamed as SM Buyong Adil Tapah in 1977.
Buyong Adil married at the age of 22. His wife, Halimah binti Mohd Daim, was from Gopeng, Perak. She died in April 2005. They had 2 sons and 3 daughters.

Singapura dikenali dengan beberapa nama seperti Pulau Selat dan Temasik. Dalam buku ini penulis berusaha menyediakan penerangan dan keterangan pemerintahan Raja Melayu terawal bermula dari Sang Nila Utama yang bergelar Seri Teri Buana menjadi pemerintah Singapura, keturunannya yang membuka kerajaan Melaka, Singapura dibawah kekuasaan Kerajaan Johor-Pahang-Riau-Lingga sehinggalah pengambilalihan Singapura secara tipu muslihat oleh Inggeris. Buku ini ditamatkan pada bahagian Singapura dikeluarkan dari Malaysia pada tahun 1965.
