From the island of Jawa let's return for a while to Malaysia. On to the state of Selangor...
Two weeks ago me and family visited the tomb of the 4th ruler of Selangor, Sultan Abdul Samad in Jugra, Kuala Langat. Some 200 metres out of its compound lies a solitary tomb said to belong to one of his wives.
We first noticed this tomb and visited it end of 2011. Then the area looked like it has just been cleared... otherwise we just bypassed its ground as before that the surrounding was covered by bushes. After clearing the tomb began to stood out. Now a wall has been erected to further signify the position of the person laid to rest...
Before I was merely guessing whose tomb is this while some said it could belong to a wife of Sultan Abdul Samad. After this visit someone confirmed it indeed housed the remains of the ruler's consort. The person laid to rest is said to be Che Fatimah, daugther of an imam (mosque prayer leader) Haji Abdul Ghani. While her name Che Fatimah and father's name Abdul Ghani sounded like that of commoners, I was told they are actually descended from Arung Palakka a very prominent Bugis warrior, ruler of the kingdom of Bone in Sulawesi end of 17th century AD.
Salam, saya berminat ingin tahu tentang isteri Sulatan AbdulSamad ( Che Fatimah ) ini, dimana maklumat lanjut yang boleh saya refer, terima kasih tuan
