Makam diraja (Royal mausoleum of) Selangor, Bukit Melawati

OK. Semalam baru saya tersedar tidak pernah membuat apa-apa posting tentang makam diraja Selangor di blogspot ini. Awal pagi hari ini pula terasa hendak membuatnya. Hmm...

OK. Yesterday I just realised that I haven't made any posting on the Selangor royal mausoleum in this blogspot. Instead early morning of today that I felt like doing it. Hmm...

Ia menempatkan jenazah 3 orang Sultan terawal Selangor.

It contains remains of 3 earliest Sultans of Selangor. They are the first Sultan, Sultan Salehuddin (officially said to have ruled 1766-1782 but said by some to have been installed in 1743), the second Sultan, Sultan Ibrahim (ruled 1782-1826) and the third Sultan, Sultan Muhammad (ruled 1826-1857).
