Lagi petunjuk (More clue)
Di atas ini adalah kubur J.W.W. Birch, Residen pertama British di Perak yang mati dibunuh orang-orang Datuk Maharajalela di Pasir Salak tahun 1875. Ini berlaku kerana orang Melayu tidak tahan lagi dengan sikap biadab Birch campurtangan dalam hal-ehwal negeri Perak sejak termetrainya Perjanjian Pangkor 1874.
Saya terjumpa kubur ini tepat masuk waktu Maghrib, ketika berjalan memasuki sebuah kawasan estet kelapa sawit berhampiran Sungai Perak untuk mengkaji beberapa kesan sejarah lama. Kebetulan kubur ini terletak sekitar 100 meter sahaja daripada makam Sultan Perak ke 19, Sultan Abdul Malik yang gambarnya sudah diposkan di sini sebelum ini... Dan makam Sultan itu pula terletak tidak jauh daripada masjid misteri yang gambarnya juga telah diletakkan di blogspot ini.
Sekarang fikirkan... Apakah kaitan semua ini? Di sebalik ini terletak cerita rahsia bagaimana kekuasaan ekonomi orang Melayu di atas Tanah Melayu berjaya dilenyapkan penjajah!
Above is the grave of J.W.W. Birch, the first British resident in Perak who was killed by the followers of the nobleman Datuk Maharajalela at Pasar Salak in 1875. This happened because the Malays were tired of Birch's rude interruptions into Perak state affairs since the conclusion of the Pangkor Treaty 1874.
I found this grave just before nightfall, while walking inside a palm oil estate near the Perak River to study some historical sites. It happens the grave is situated some 100 metres from the tomb of the 19th king or Sultan of Perak, Sultan Abdul Malik, the one whose tomb was shown in the previous post. And the tomb happens to be near the mysterious mosque as shown previously in this blogspot.
Now think... What is the connection between all these? Behind it is a secret story on how Malay economic dominance in this land was succesfully eliminated by the colonialist!
TERUSKAN PERJUANGAN!!!
