Dato' Temenggong Abdul Jamal bin Sayyid Abbas Al-Aydrus (1720 – 1802) was the first Temenggong of Johor. He is noted to be the direct ancestor to the current Sultan of Johor and the descendants of the House of Temenggong.
Abdul Jamal was born in the Johor Sultanate in 1720 to his father Bendahara Tun Abbas of Pahang,[1] the son of the Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah IV, who died on 21 November 1721.
He married Raja Daeng Maimunah binti Opu Daeng Perani, who was a descendant (House of King Bugis Luwu) and subsequent descendants wear the titles of Tun and Daeng.
In 1757, he was appointed by his brother, Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah as the Temenggong for the Johor Sultanate. The office would become hereditary among his direct descendants.
He died in Pulau Bulang, Kepulauan Riau in 1802 and was buried there, on a burial ground which would later known as Makam Temenggung Abdul Jamal. His son Tun Abdul Hamid was installed by his grand-nephew Sultan Mahmud Ri'ayat Shah as the next Temenggong of Johor.[2]
