Meriam (the cannon of) Datuk Undang Abdullah...

Sebelah kawasan makam Moyang Salleh, di atas sebuah bukit kecil terdapat pula sebuah tempat tertentu...

Next to the tomb of Moyang Salleh, on top of a small hill there exist a certain place...

Daripada jauh, ia kelihatan seperti sebuah lagi makam...

From afar, it looks like another tomb...

Tetapi rupanya apa yang terdapat di situ adalah sebuah meriam lama, milik seseorang bernama Datuk Undang Abdullah...

But it turns out what's there is an old cannon, owned by someone known as Datuk Undang Abdullah...

Inilah meriamnya...

This is the cannon...

Pemandangan daripada sana ke tepian jalan...

A view of the nearby road from on top there...

Adapun (almarhum) Datuk Undang Abdullah adalah Undang luak Sungai Ujong yang ke 12. Meriam ini yang dikatakan sebuah meriam keramat ditemui beliau di Titi, Jelebu lalu dibawa ke sini...

For information (the late) Datuk Undang Abdullah is the Undang (a noble chief title) of the district of Sungai Ujong, the 12th one that is. This cannon which is said to be a miraculous and magical cannon was found by him in Titi, Jelebu but carried and set up here...

Satu pandangan akhir terhadap meriam ini. Sekian! :]

A last look at the cannon. That's all! :]

Makam (tomb) of Moyang Salleh...

Masih di sekitar Kuala Klawang, Negeri Sembilan...
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... :]

Masjid (mosque of) Kuala Dulang, Negeri Sembilan

Akhirnya, setelah 2 minggu blogspot ini tidak diperbaharui , baru ada gambar-gambar yang dirasakan sesuai untuk dipaparkan di sini. Adapun beberapa posting di sini kebelakangan ini dibuat berdasarkan gambar-gambar daripada koleksi perjalanan terbaru saya ke Pantai Timur yang tamat lebih sebulan lalu, selari dengan proses penceritaannya di blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU ...
At last, after 2 weeks this blogspot have not been updated, now there's pictures that I feel suitable to be shown here. As it is, some of the recent postings here were made based on the collection of pictures from my latest travel to the East Coast which was completed more than a month ago, in line with the related story-telling process in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU ...

Proses penceritaan itu sebenarnya telah tamat lebih seminggu lalu untuk digantikan dengan proses penceritaan terbaru mengenai kembara satu hari yang dibuat di Negeri Sembilan pada Ahad 18 Mei 2008 lalu. Kini, proses penceritaan itu sampai pada satu peringkat di mana ada gambar-gambar yang sesuai dikongsi di blogspot ini pula. Sila! :]

The story-telling process was actually completed more than a week ago to be replaced with the latest story-telling process based on a one-day trip made in Negeri Sembilan on Sunday 18th May 2008 not long ago. Now the process has arrived to a stage where the pictures in turn are suitable to be shared in this blogspot for a change. Come!

Tidak jauh di luar pekan Kuala Klawang, boleh kelihatan papantanda ini...

Not far from the town of Kuala Klawang, one could see this signboard...

Ia menunjukkan arah ke masjid ini...

It points the way to this mosque...

Inilah Masjid Kuala Dulang, sebuah masjid yang sangat bersejarah di Negeri Sembilan...

Here is the mosque of Kuala Dulang, a mosque with much significant history in Negeri Sembilan...

Papantanda di hadapannya menyebut ia adalah masjid paling tua dalam daerah Jelebu, dibina dalam abad ke 16 Masihi!

The signboards in front said it is the oldest mosque in the district of Jelebu, built in the 16th Century AD!

Melihat bentuk bangunan ini, rasanya ia bukanlah bangunan asal yang mungkin sudah lama reput...

Looking at this building, I believe it is not the original building which could have long fall rotten...

Apapun, masjid ini dianggap mempunyai kelebihan dan karamahnya yang tersendiri... Menurut ceritanya, semasa ia dibina, tiba-tiba muncul sebuah dulang makanan di satu sudut berisi jamuan untuk dimakan oleh mereka yang sibuk mendirikan masjid ini!

Whatever, the mosque is regarded as having its attractions, in fact charismatic miracles of its own... According to the tales, when it was built, suddenly there appeared a tray with dishes of food at one corner for the meal of those who were busy building this mosque!

Sayangnya, kamera digital murah saya tidak dapat menangkap gambar di dalam dengan terang. Dulang ajaib itu dikatakan muncul tiap-tiap hari, setiap kali dengan hidangan makanan yang baru untuk para pekerja menikmatinya sehingga puas! Dulang ini terus muncul setiap hari untuk hidangan para pengunjung selepas bangunan asal masjid ini siap dibina lebih 400 tahun lalu. Beberapa tahun kemudian barulah ia hilang... Cukup.. :]

Too bad, my cheap digital camera couldn't catch the picture inside clearly. The magical tray is said to have appeared every day, everytime with a new set of dishes for all the workers to enjoy to their heart's content! The tray still appear everyday to fill the stomachs of visitors even after the original building for this mosque was completed more than 400 years ago. It only disappeared a few years later... Enough... :]
