This is either my 3rd or 4th visit. The last time I was here was sometime in September 2008. Have a look at the article Makam 2 Muazzam (Tombs of the 2 Muazzams) written in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) six months earlier...
Anyway this is the first time I brought the wife along... and of course the first time for baby Al-Rasyid...
Besides his tomb lies one marked by Aceh gravestones. If I'm not mistaken this belongs to his wife, Wan Mahtra. For the record, Sultan Jaafar and Wan Mahtra were parents to the 26th Sultan, Sultan Abdullah II who was banished to the Seychelles Island 1877 for his involvement in the killing of the first British resident to Perak, J.W.W. Birch.
