Take the following as truth: Governed by the great bendahara Mutahir with more diplomacy than military force, the sultanate asserted its supremacy over the whole Malay peninsula (except for the northernmost Thai-held Patani region) and across the Melaka Straits to the east coast of Sumatra.
Then the following statement: "Mutahi ruled by showing force over his subjects." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
