A look at the Selangor river near Batang Berjuntai), me and wife visited her dad at Tanjung Sepat, some 16 km south of the famous Morib beach. On the way back home a day or two later, as we were about to reach Banting, I felt like taking a detour to a certain place of note...
Welcome to Jugra where there's a number of places of historical significance...
Among the most famous is the one on the left parts of this hill...
Welcome to the royal tombs of Jugra...
While the Selangor royal family also have tombs at Bukit (hill of) Melawati in Kuala Selangor and another in Kelang, this one is considered by many to be the most famous of all...
For one, look at the tomb buildings around...
The most signficant lies inside the main building...
For here lies the body of Sultan Abdul Samad, the fourth ruler of Selangor who reigned towards the end of the 19th century. Legend has it, he is among the last of the Malay Sultans who have reached saintly status and thus is said to be vested with magical powers even from beyond the grave!

From the stories of the old folks, the Jugra Hill also locates a foot step of Hang Tuah. It is located near the old historical port at the side of the hill. And is somewhere on a large bed of hill stone.
ReplyDeleteSome said there was myth or written in a scripture or maybe just an old story/hikayat that Hang Tuah was once reached to Jugra Hill for some purpose...
Hikayat Hang Tuah towards the end mentioned how the Sultan of Melaka stepped down the throne to become a travelling fakir following the ways of a Sufi. He gave the throne to his daughter Puteri Gunung Ledang.
ReplyDeleteThat's when the Bendahara, Laksamana and one more palace official I forgot whom also retired. So it is said that Hang Tuah when to Bukit Jugra to meditate with a guru.

ReplyDeleteYang tu bersepah orang tahu. Tengok ni...
