During his reign raids from the Aceh Sultanate destroyed many black pepper plantation in Langkawi, as Aceh wanted to monopolize the industry. He built the Kota Kuala Bahang as a defensive fortress in response to the Acehnese raid with assistance from the Portuguese Empire. A huge raid from Aceh in 1619 destroyed the fortress and forced the Portuguese to evacuate.
