The Temenggong of Johor is one of the members of the Orang Kaya Council first established by Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah himself. The Temenggong of Johor was given the task of controlling the security of the Sultan and safeguarding the State and exercising control over all the territories of the Johor Empire.

Temenggong of Johor was granted territorial control by the Sultan of Johor and Singapura as the representative of the Sultan of Johor-Riau, just as a treasurer was given Pahang as the territorial control, while the viceroy ruled Riau as Temenggong of Muar in Muar.

The descendants of Temenggong would later founded the new Sultanate on the mainland of Johor with the first Temenggong being Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim.[1]
