At the area of Pulau Besar, Perak not far from the main road there lies this tomb building...

It belong to Raja Ahmad son to the 19th Sultan of Perak, Sultan Abdul Malik Mansur Shah. Raja Ahmad in turn was father to the 23rd Sultan, Sultan Jaafar Muazzam Sham. Look at the old article Makam 2 Muazzam (Tombs of the 2 Muazzams). Sultan Jaafar's younger brother, Raja Bendahara Alang Iskandar was father to the 28th Sultan, Sultan Idris I who opened up Bukit Chandan.

Actually this is a memorial tomb. It was built to point the place where Raja Ahmad disappeared without any news. For information Raja Ahmad is said to have fallen down at the mouth of the Terus river behind the tomb. This river flows into the Perak river.

Stories about Raja Ahmad and his tomb have been touched many times at my other blogspots. Still this is the first time I've made a relevant article here. Look at the old articles Pilihanraya Malaysia yang ke 12 dan makam-makam lama... Bahagian 3... and Keadaan terbaru makam Raja Ahmad dan sekitarnya.... . Compare pictures of the tomb before and now...
