Tomb of Panglima Pidi revisited

Continued from The new look of Sultan Alauddin of Melaka's tomb.

Next we went to the city of Melaka aiming straight for the hill called Bukit Cina.

Bukit is the Malay word for hill and Bukit Cina means hill of the Chinese. So it is only natural if it's full of Chinese cemeteries.



But yet at one peak (I understand the hill has 2 peaks) you can find Malay Muslim cemeteries.

The most prominent are this two outstandingly long tombs.

It is understood that one of the long tombs belong to a person known as Panglima Pidi, a general who came from the region of Pidi in Aceh. He was one of the commanders in the 1629 AD Acehness attack against the Portuguese forces occupying the city of Melaka and became a casualty.
