Still in the vicinity of Kuala Klawang, Negeri Sembilan...
Lebih kurang 2km daripada Masjid Kuala Dulang, kelihatan papan-tanda ini pula...
About 2 km from the mosque of Kuala Dulang, there could be seen this sign-board...
Di tepi jalan itu terletak sebuah lagi tinggalan utama sejarah Negeri Sembilan, iaitu makam Moyang Salleh...
Just by the road-side, there lies another significant historical monument of Negeri Sembilan, that is the tomb of Moyang Salleh...
Moyang Salleh terkenal dengan peristiwa memutus tali ke negeri Johor hampir 300 tahun lalu. Jika sebelum itu, daerah Jelebu dan wilayah-wilayah sekitarnya terletak di bawah penguasaan empayar Johor-Riau, selepas itu ia merdeka dan boleh berdiri sebagai kerajaan sendiri...
The person known as Moyang Salleh is famous for the eventful "severing the ties from the state of Johor" almost 300 years ago. If before that, the district of Jelebu and its surrounding provinces where under the rule of the Johor-Riau empire, after that it is free and could stand as independent nations...
Inilah makam Moyang Salleh, seorang pemimpin Jelebu yang gagah berani... Yang menurut cerita nya memiliki pelbagai kuasa hikmat!
This is the tomb of Moyang Salleh, a strong and brave leader of Jelebu... Who according to the stories possess plenty of magical powers!
Menurut ceritanya lagi, kuasa hikmat beliau dan beberapa orang pengikutnya telah berjaya menakutkan Sultan Johor dalam satu lawatan mereka ke Istana Johor. Inilah yang menyebabkan baginda mengisytiharkan Jelebu dan daerah sekitarnya merdeka daripada Johor... Keadaan inilah yang menyebabkan sebuah gabungan negeri-negeri kecil yang dipanggil sebagai Negeri Sembilan dapat muncul nanti! Sekian... :]
According to the stories furthermore, his magical powers and that of some of his followers managed to scare the Sultan of Johor in a visit they made to the palace of Johor. This is what made the king proclaimed Jelebu and the surrounding districts as independent from Johor. It is this condition which later caused a confederate of small nations to appear under the name Negeri Sembilan later! That's all... :]
