Adapun kawasan Sayong yang terletak di tebing kanan Sungai Perak berhadapan dengan bandar diraja Kuala Kangsar yang terletak di tebing kiri sungai itu pernah menjadi ibunegeri Perak yang terakhir menurut perjanjian lama keSultanan Perak dengan seorang pembesar misteri bernama Tok Temong. Menurut perjanjian yang dikatakan berlaku hampir 500 tahun lalu antara raja pertama Perak, Sultan Muzaffar Shah dengan Tok Temong yang pernah memerintah kawasan hulu, anak cucu Sultan Muzaffar hendaklah memerintah kawasan tebing kanan Sungai Perak sementara anak cucu Tok Temong berkuasa di sebelah kira.
As it is, the area of Sayong which is situated on the right bank of Sungai (river of) Perak facing the royal town of Kuala Kangsar on the left was the last capital of Perak under the ancient treaty between the Perak Sultanate and a mysterious noble by the name of Tok Temong. According to the treaty made almost 500 years ago between the first ruler of Perak, Sultan Muzaffar Shah and Tok Temong which used to rule upriver, descendants of Sultan Muzaffar would rule the areas on the right bank of Sungai Perak while Tok Temong's descendants hold sway over the left.
Pembukaan bandar diraja Kuala Kangsar oleh Sultan Perak ke 28, Sultan Idris I dalam tahun 1880an mengubah keadaan. Ia adalah ibunegeri pertama Perak yang terletak di sebelah kiri Sungai Perak. Sultan sebelum itu, Sultan Yusuf memerintah di Sayong. Mungkin sebab itu saya tergerak untuk bercerita tentang masjid ini?
The opening of the royal town of Kuala Kangsar by the 28th Sultan of Perak, Sultan Idris I in the 1880s changed the situation. It became the first capital of Perak to be situated on the left of Sungai Perak. The previous Sultan, Sultan Yusuf ruled in Sayong. Maybe that is why I'm moved to talk about this mosque?
Apapun, makam Sultan Yusuf terletak di sebuah masjid lain di Sayong. Sebenarnya, kawasan Sayong ini terbahagi kepada beberapa tempat seperti Sayong Lembah, Sayong Tengah dan sebagainya... Tak ingat pula nama-nama yang lain dan saya sudah lupa masjid ini terletak di bahagian mana. Yang pasti ia boleh kelihatan daripada bandar diraja Kuala Kangsar terutama daripada Bukit Chandan...
Whatever, the tomb of Sultan Yusuf is situated at another mosque in Sayong. Actually, the area of Sayong is divided into some parts like Sayong Lembah, Sayong Tengah and such... Can't remember the names and I've forgotten this mosque is in which part of Sayong. What is sure, it could be seen from the royal town of Kuala Kangsar especially from Bukit Chandan...
Oh... Baru teringat. Makam Sultan Yusuf di masjid lain itu sebenarnya adalah makam yang dipindahkan daripada kedudukan asalnya yang dikatakan selalu terkena banjir. Mungkin makam itu asalnya terletak berdekatan masjid ini? Hmm...
Oh... Now I remember. Sultan Yusuf's tomb at the other mosque is actually the one moved from its original location which as said to often suffer flood. Maybe the original tomb is situated near this mosque? Hmm...
Ketika berehat dan berbaring di satu sudut, saya ternampak pula akan cara untuk naik ke atas. Apa lagi, ke atas lah saya selepas itu!
While having a rest and lying down at a corner, I saw the way to go up. So what else... Up do I go next!
Pemandangan daripada menara masjid. Kelihatan di latar-belakang, Istana Bukit Chandan...
The scenery from the mosque's tower. Seen in the background, Istana (palace of) Bukit Chandan...
Sebahagian masjid dilihat daripada menara...
Part of the mosque seen from the tower...
Sebuah rumah berdekatan masjid... Kelihatan Sungai Perak yang memisahkan dua bahagian negeri... Malah, ada cerita lama menyebut sebenarnya bahagian kiri Sungai Perak dahulunya terletak di bawah kekuasaan negara lain, kemungkinan besar berkaitan dengan Aceh... Hmm... Biar sahaja cerita ini disimpan ya. Akan ada pihak yang tidak senang dengan kebenaran. Sekian!
A house nearby the mosque... Also apparent is Sungai (river of) Perak which divides two parts of the county... In fact, there's old tales saying actually the left area of Sungai Perak used to be under the sovereignity of another county, most probably related to Aceh... Hmm... Let's just keep this story ya. There would parties who won't be happy with the truth. That's all!
