Where Was Raja Sumakwel?

The tomb of Raja Sumakwel, the other son of Shariff Hassan had not been located.

However the Cocos Islander Community had one person by the name of Suma who was also commonly known as the bald grandfather or Nek Botak. Suma, the 12 year old child that followed the ship called BORNEO from Banjar Kuala only happened in the early 18th Century. So Raja Sumakwel could not be the same Suma whose tomb is in Cocos Islands, but Suma could have some relation to this lineage or could have used Raja Sumawel name for his name.

The title of Rajah was normally given to people of other origin like Rajah Brooke or White Rajah as he was commonly known or the Indian, Chinese or non-Arab lineage and the highest title is called Maharaja and Maharani.

Only the descendants from Mecca or other Arabian provinces had been given the title of Shariff or the knowledged person and their children have titles like Syed and Saidina for men and Sharifah for the woman.
