Tok Janggut’s Name Degraded by the British…Why was that so?

The real name of the struggled leader TOK JANGGUT, which was Mat Hassan Panglima Munas, was denied by the British, in similar with his declared word ‘Jihad’, which was reformed by them into the term ‘Revolt’ and ‘Rebellion’.  

When Tok Janggut and his followers risen up to battle with the British, the British actually felt a bit frightened by what the following influence and effect would be, as their colonized country is becoming braver and braver in every second counting. Thus, for them, if Tok Janggut’s acts are not blocked, their dignity as one of the country that is in hold of the world’s power and smart people would be affected. This is the reason as to why the British really wanted to get rid of Tok Janggut’s life, together with his influence over the Kelantan’s citizens.

However, even after Tok Janggut’ death, his aura still remained, endangering the British’s minds of not wanting the same thing to happen again, them losing to their colony.  So, the British launched ‘Psychological Warfare’ or better known as ‘Perang Saraf’ to worsened the citizens’ perception towards Tok Janggut and his followers, which is to think of them as the country’s traitors. This method in certain, did not succeed as the Kelantan’s are still grateful for their contribution and respect their sacrifice made in order to gain back their rights as Kelantan’s citizens and Malaysians.
