His uncle, Syed Mohammed set up a business in Singapore by June 1819 and soon after his nephew, Syed Omar left Palembang and went to Singapore. When Syed Mohammed died, the business was passed on to Syed Omar who served as guardian for the heir apparent, Syed Ali bin Mohammed Aljunied who was only 9 years old by then.
