He was known as a strong energetic ruler and an Anglophile.[3] On 13 July 1784, the Dutch captured Kuala Selangor[2][4] despite having built the Kota Melawati fort to protect the area and ended up getting deposed and exiled.[3] Sultan Ibrahim recaptured the fort in a raid in 1785 with help from Pahang.[5] After helping Perak remove the Siamese presence in Perak, Ibrahim demanded tribute for the help provided.[6]
In 1818, Selangor began political relations with the United Kingdom.[7] Contemporary writer Thomas Newbold (1807–1850) mentions that after his successor Muhammad Shah took the throne, the territory lapsed into comparative decay, where Muhammad Shah committed piracy, robberies and levied contributions from the local inhabitants, which then lead to emigration.[3][8]
