Perak trip of September 2006... A look at the tombs...

These are some of the tombs visited in the Perak trip made on 12-15 September 2006...

Tomb of Toh Puan Halimah, daughter of Laksamana Raja Mahkota Muhammad Amin beside the old Malay mosque in Taiping. She was married to the well-known 19th Century Malay figure Ngah Ibrahim...

The tomb of Daeng Kuning in Taiping...

Daeng Kuning is said to be the grandfather (or was it great grandfather) of Mahaguru Meor Abdul Rahman, the late founder of the martial art's group of Silat Gayong...

The tomb said to be of Datuk Sagor, one of the Malay warriors implicated in the murder of the British resident to Perak J.W.W. Birch in 1875. This tomb is also located in Taiping...


The old graveyard at Kamunting in Taiping...


A grave hidden among the bushes there...


This piece of tombstone now stucked under tree-roots should give some idea on how old are the graves here...

I was in Kamunting with some friends to look for the tomb of a local legendary figure known as Bidan Susu Lanjut. Suffice to say, after an hour searching or so, we found it but can't disclose it's actual location because of certain reasons...


The tomb of Tok Temong, a legendary female leader of 16th Century Perak, one of the tombs that must be visited by Perak rulers upon their installation up the throne...


The tombstone of Tok Temong which is an Aceh-type tombstone...


The tomb of another legendary Perak figure, Daeng Selili at Kampung Padang Changkat, Kuala Kangsar...


I don't know who was buried here but this tomb outside Masjid (mosque) of Kota Lama Kanan, Kuala Kangsar must belong to someone of significance and noble birth too. The end! :]
