You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:02, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Raja Tun Sir Haji Uda ibni Almarhum Raja Muhammad''' ((post-nominals|post-noms=[[Order of the Defender of the Realm#Grand Commander|SMN]])) ((post-nominals|country=GBR|KBE|CMG)) ((post-nominals|post-noms=[[List of post-nominal letters (Penang)|DUPN]])) (1894 – 17 October 1976) was a [[Malaysia]]n statesman during the country's struggle for independence and its early years of nationhood. He was a civil servant under the [[British Malaya|British colonial administration]], and eventually rose to important administrative positions within the government. Upon the independence of [[Federation of Malaya|Malaya]] in 1957, he became the first [[Yang di-Pertua Negeri]] (Governor) of [[Penang]], one of the four states in Malaysia without a hereditary ruler.

Raja Uda was also the grandfather of Malaysian political blogger [[Raja Petra Kamaruddin]].

==Biography==
Raja Uda was a member of the [[Selangor]] [[Selangor Sultanate|royal family]], being a distant cousin of [[Hisamuddin of Selangor|Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah]] and a direct descendant of the first [[Salehuddin of Selangor|Sultan of Selangor]]. He married both of Sultan Hisamuddin's sisters namely, Tengku Badariah binti Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah and Tengku Nor Saadah.<ref>[http://www.tun-uda.com/family_tree/raja_uda.htm Raja Sir Tun Uda Al Haj Bin Raja Muhammad: Family Tree]</ref>

Educated at the [[Malay College Kuala Kangsar]], Raja Uda joined the colonial government service in 1910 at the age of 16. In 1939, he was appointed as secretary to the British Resident of Selangor. He was [[List of Menteris Besar of Selangor|Menteri Besar of Selangor]] twice, from 1949 to 1953, and again from 1954 to 1955. In between, Raja Uda served as Malayan High Commissioner in the United Kingdom. He was involved in negotiations with the British to establish the [[Member System]] in the 1950s.<ref>[http://saku30.tripod.com/bab_5tkt5.pdf Bab 5: Pembinaan Negara Bangsa yang Merdeka] (in Malay). Textbook notes. Accessed June 3, 2010</ref>

In 1951, Raja Uda was appointed a CMG and appointed an Honorary [[Order of the British Empire|Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire]] in 1953. Following the [[1955 Malayan general election|first ever general election]] in 1955, Raja Uda was appointed Speaker of the [[Federal Legislative Council]].

On August 30, 1957, the day before independence, Raja Uda was appointed the first [[Yang di-Pertua Negeri|Governor]] of the state of [[Penang]] and served for ten years.

Raja Tun Uda died on October 17, 1976, and he was buried at the Selangor royal mausoleum near [[Sultan Sulaiman Mosque]] in [[Klang, Malaysia|Klang]], [[Selangor]].
