Radja Koelala (also written Raja Kulela) was the son of Panglima Polem, the hereditary panglima of the Sagi der XXII Moekims of Atjeh, who, after the Selimoen expedition of August 1879, persisted with his father and the other irreducible hostile chiefs — Toewankoe Haschim, the Imam Longbatta — in their hostile attitude, but their means were scattered and they had placed themselves beyond the reach of the Dutch troops, at Kemala in the interior south of Pedir.
The Flight to Kemala, August 1879
After the campaign against the XXII Moekims of 1879, the campaign against the XXVI Moekims of early July, and the Selimoen expedition of August, Radja Koelala was among those who persisted in their hostile attitude:
“To be sure, the principal among the hostile chiefs — Toewankoe Haschim, who still kept watch over the young pretender to the sultanship Toewankoe Daoed [destined for the sultan’s rank in 1874], Imam Longbatta, Panglima Polem, his son Radja Koelala and others — persisted in their hostile attitude, but their means were scattered and they had placed themselves beyond the reach of our troops, namely at Kemala, in the interior south of Pedir.”
