As a palace official, he was one of the commanders who supported Tunku Antah and the Undangs in the Battle of Bukit Putus, as Tunku Antah fought Tunku Ahmad Tunggal for the succession of the throne, and defended against British intervention.

He later fought against the British late into the 1870s, earning him his reputation as a folk hero.

Jalan Dato' Siamang Gagap (formerly Channer Road), a busy road in Seremban, is named in his honour.
