1867-1874: Mungkinkah ada Kaitan dengan Raja Jalil?

Sekitar 1867-1874, Raja Jalil adalah antara hulubalang yang terlibat bersama dengan Tengku Dhiauddin dalam Perang Selangor, menentang Raja Mahadi. Pusat kegiatan beliau ketika itu ialah di Kuala Garing, Rawang, iaitu di sebelah utara Kuala Lumpur. Bukit Jalil terletak di sebelah selatan Kuala Lumpur. Selain jaraknya yang jauh itu, setakat ini tidak terdapat sebarang tanda-tanda kaitan di antara keduanya: “The number of durian and other fruit trees shew that Batang Berjuntai was once a somewhat flourishing kampong; it was abandoned during the disturbances between Raja Mahdi and Tunku dia Udin's parties some fifty years ago. The village is on the Rawang-Kuala Selangor Road, 13 1/4 miles from Kuala Selangor and about 18 miles from Rawang; it was reopened about a year ago; possesses a Police Station, with a haltingroom for travellers, and Barracks. The newly appointed Penghulu, Raja Jalil, has, contrary to ancient Malay practice, selected a pretty site for his house on a hill over-hanging the river. … The Penghulu, Raja Jalil, is an old fighting man and formerly served on the side of Tunku dia Udin, holding a fort at Kuala Garing, where he was unfortunate enough to blow away most of his fingers of his right hand.” (Pinang Gazette and Straits Chronicle, 26 April 1894, Page 3: |"NOTES OF THE RESIDENT'S VISITS TO DISTRICTS IN SELANGOR, 1894").
