After the Sultan Abdul Jalil bridge, I decided to follow the small rural roads further downriver and reached this part...
In the background once could see the towers of the palace of Bukit Chandan, the official household of the Perak royal family...
Towards the south one could the range that forms Gunung (mount) Bubu...
Here's the wife posing with our baby...
Further downriver we could catch a better view of the palace.
Actually I took these small rural roads because I wanted to have a look at the mouth of the river Sayong, wrongly spelt as Saiong in this picture...
The last time I was here was sometime in 2001 while this recent visit was made last month. Then only did I know that they have practically cut the mouth to extract sand...
So I can't really tell where old river mouth lies. Hazarding a guess, perhaps this is where the Sayong river originally merges into the much bigger Perak river flow...

ReplyDeleteSaya anak jati kampung ni.. Actually the correct spelling for my kampung is as stated on the billboard tetapi mungkin disebabkan arus kemodenan ejaannya telah diseragamkan. Ada banyak kampung dalam satu kampung.. Ada Sayong Lembah, Sayong Tebing, Sayong Hilir dan Saga Saiong.. kampung saya.. Ada tak lebih 10 buah rumah aje dalam kampung ni.. anak cucu keturunan raja permaisuri. Betul2 bertentangan dgn Safari Resort.
Wassalam. Hmm. Pelik gak. Kalau dah semua tempat sekeliling spelling Sayong, macamana ada satu spelling Saiong? Mungkin kena balik pada asal panggilan yang bunyinya sama tetapi dieja dengan huruf Jawi. Bila dirumikan mungkin jadi dua versi walhal bunyinya tetap sama.
ReplyDeleteOh. Anak cucu keturunan raja permaisuri tu merujuk pada raja permaisuri yang mana?
As salam, maaf saya mengambil masa lebih setahun utk kembali ke blog tuan ni.. ini pun akibat kucar kacir yg berlaku di kampong menyebabkan saya kembali ke computer...
ReplyDeleteMungkin sangkaan tuan tentang penjawian itu betul.. Allahualam..
Raja permaisuri yang dimaksudkan adalah Tok Engku Permaisuri Zaidah yang pernah berkahwin dengan 2 sultan yakni Sultan Ali dan Sultan Yusuf(seblm menjadi sultan) Jika tak salah beliau juga adalah mertua kepada Sultan Abdul Jalil..
