but it was annexed by the
British into Malacca in 1832 via the
Naning War. Malacca at that time was a
British holding.
The Naning-British War started in 1831 and lasted around two years until 1833. The ''Penghulu'' (chief/Lord) of Naning then, Dol Said was enraged over British claim over Naning as part of Malacca. The British demanded that Naning pay 10% of its produce as tribute to Malacca. Dol Said refused, resulting in a British attack upon Naning in 1831. Dol Said managed to fend off the attack with help from his allies. For the first time the British lost in a war in the Malay Peninsula. Towards the end of 1832, the British attacked Naning once again with a much larger force. Dol Said did not have the help of his allies this time. His army was defeated and he surrendered. He was offered a pension and a house in Malacca.
Today, Naning is known as The District of Alor Gajah and is placed under the parliamentary constituency of
