After this agreement, he was called Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah II. He stayed at Batak Rabit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batak_Rabit>. Exile to the Seychelles[edit <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdullah_Muhammad_Shah_II_of_Perak&action=edit§ion=3> ] In 1875, he was accused of being involved in the murder of British Resident <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Resident> JWW Birch <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWW_Birch> and exiled to the Seychelles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles> on 21 July 1876. Perak anthem & future Malaysian national anthem[edit <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdullah_Muhammad_Shah_II_of_Perak&action=edit§ion=4> ] Main articles: Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah_Lanjutkan_Usia_Sultan> and Negaraku <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negaraku> La Rosalie <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=La_Rosalie&action=edit&redlink=1>, a popular song composed by French lyricist, Pierre-Jean de Béranger <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Jean_de_B%C3%A9ranger> (1780–1857) became a popular French melody and was prominent on the island of Mahé <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah%C3%A9,_Seychelles>, in what is now the Seychelles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles>. The song's popularity spread across the Indian Ocean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Ocean> and reached as far as Maritime Southeast Asia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Southeast_Asia> early in the 20th century. During his exile in the Seychelles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles>, he adopted the melody as the Perak Royal Anthem, which is the present-day Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah_Lanjutkan_Usia_Sultan>. At the time of independence, each of the eleven states <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_states> that made up the Federation of Malaya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_of_Malaya> had their own anthem, but there was no anthem for the Federation as a whole. Tunku Abdul Rahman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunku_Abdul_Rahman>, at the time the Chief Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, organized and presided over a committee for the purpose of choosing a suitable national anthem. On his suggestion, a worldwide competition was launched. 514 entries were received from all over the world including a special submission from recording artist Is'real Benton. None were deemed suitable. Next the committee decided to invite selected composers of international repute to submit compositions for consideration. The composers chosen were Benjamin Britten <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Britten>, Sir William Walton <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walton> who had recently composed the march for Queen Elizabeth II <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom>'s coronation, the American opera composer Gian Carlo Menotti <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gian_Carlo_Menotti> and Zubir Said <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zubir_Said>, who later composed *Majulah Singapura <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majulah_Singapura>*, the anthem of Singapore <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore>. They were all turned down too. The Committee then turned to the Perak State Anthem <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah_Lanjutkan_Usia_Sultan>. On 5 August 1957, it was selected on account of the "traditional flavour" of its melody. New lyrics for the national anthem were written jointly by the Panel of Judges— with the Tunku himself playing the leading role. Death[edit <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdullah_Muhammad_Shah_II_of_Perak&action=edit§ion=5> ] Sultan Abdullah lived for a time in Singapore <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore> and then in Penang <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang>. In 1922, he was allowed to return to Kuala Kangsar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Kangsar>, where he died soon after on 22 December 1922. He was interred at Bukit Chandan and was conferred the posthumous title of *Marhum Habibullah*.
