His reign saw the growth of Malay nationalism in Terengganu. During the 1920s, growing anti-British sentiment in Terengganu led to uprisings in 1922, 1925 and 1928 which were led by Haji Abdul Rahman Limbong. The uprisings was later quelled by the British and the leader was exiled to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where he died in 1929.
Kesatuan Melayu Muda, a nationalist organisation in Malaya, was formed during Sultan Sulaiman's reign.
