Rumah dengan bentuk lidah terjulur di Kuala Selangor (House with tounge-like shape hanging down at Kuala Selangor)

Continued from Makam-makam bertanda batu di Kampung Kuantan (Tombs marked by stones at Kampung Kuantan).

Sebenarnya sebelum singgah ke makam-makam saya telah pergi melihat rumah ini dahulu.

Actually before I visited the tombs I went to see this house first.

Rumah yang boleh kelihatan dari tepi jalan sebelum Kampung Kuantan (dari arah Batang Berjuntai) ini memiliki satu ciri unik, ukiran dengan bentuk yang saya suka sebut sebagai lidah terjulur di hujung bumbung.

This house which could be seen from besides the road before Kampung Kuantan (from the direction of Batang Berjuntai) has one unique feature, carvings of the shape which I like to say as tounges hanging down the corners of the roof.

Untuk makluman bentuk begini biasanya cuma dapat ditemui di Perak juga sebahagian negeri Kedah, Pulau Pinang dan Perlis. Ia juga boleh ditemui di Sabak Bernam yang terletak di dalam negeri Selangor namun ini kali pertama saya terlihatnya di dalam daerah Kuala Selangor.

For information this shape is normally seen only in Perak also parts of the states of Kedah, Pulau Pinang and Perlis. It can also be found in Sabak Bernam which is situated inside the state of Selangor but this is the first time I saw it in the district of Kuala Selangor.

Continued from Makam (Tomb of) Tok Laut, Kuala Selangor.

Di Kampung Kuantan yang turut terletak di dalam daerah Kuala Selangor pula kami ditunjukkan sejumlah makam-makam lama yang bertanda batu.

At (village of) Kampung Kuantan which is also situated in the district of Kuala Selangor in turn we were shown a number of old tombs marked by stones.

Dipercayai ia juga milik pendatang Bugis bertaraf bangsawan.
It is believed that it also belong to Bugis migrants of noble status.



Di sini terdapat 6 atau 7 makam.
Here lies 6 or 7 tombs.

Bukan semua penduduk tempatan menyedari kewujudan makam-makam ini yang dianggap keramat.

Not all locals realise the existence of these tombs which are considered as having magical powers.

Makam (Tomb of) Tok Laut, Kuala Selangor

Hari Khamis baru ini kami pergi ke satu kawasan pendalaman daerah Kuala Selangor lalu ditunjukkan makam lama ini.

This recent Thursday we went to a rural area in the district of Kuala Selangor and was shown this old tomb.

Makam ini dikenali sebagai "kubur panjang", kerana jarak antara 2 batu nesan tidak kurang 9 kaki.

This tomb is known as the "kubur panjang" (long grave), as the distance between its 2 tombstones is no less than 9 feet.

Menurut cerita warga tempatan pemilik makam ini ialah seorang kerabat diraja Bugis yang membawa diri ke Selangor sekitar 200 tahun lalu. Kapalnya karam di kuala Sungai Selangor sebelum ditemui masih hidup. Sebab itu beliau dikenali sebagai Tok Laut.

According to a story by a local the owner of the tomb is a Bugis royal who brought himself to Selangor around 200 years ago. His ship was capsized at the estuary of the Selangor river before he was found still alive. That is why he is known as Tok Laut (the elder from the sea).

Masjid Jamek (Main mosque of) Kuala Selangor

Petang tadi saya singgah di Masjid Jamek Kuala Selangor.
This afternoon I made a stop at the main mosque of Kuala Selangor.


Jangan terkeliru masjid ini dengan Masjid pekan Kuala Selangor. Masjid jamek terletak di bahagian bandar baru sedangkan masjid pekan di bandar lama. Lihat artikel lama Masjid pekan (The town mosque of ) Kuala Selangor.
Don't confuse this mosque with the town mosque of Kuala Selangor. This mosque is situated at the new town section while the town mosque is located in the (much smaller) old town. Look at the old article Masjid pekan (The town mosque of ) Kuala Selangor.



Saya pernah sampai ke masjid ini cuma sekali dua sahaja sebelum ini. Itupun beberapa tahun lalu. Kali ini, saya mendapati seolah ada kesamaan dengan Masjid Hassanil Bolkiah di Brunei. Kesamaan bagaimana itu? Mungkin anda boleh membandingkannya sendiri nanti. Insyaallah bermula hujung minggu ini atau minggu hadapan saya akan memaparkan artikel tentang masjid dan makam juga tempat lain menarik yang dilihat pada lawatan ke Brunei yang dibuat sebelum bulan Ramadhan.

I have come to this mosque only once or twice before this. Even then it was a number of years ago. This time, I felt as if there is a similarity to the Hassanil Bolkiah mosque in Brunei. Similarity in what way? Maybe you can make the comparison yourself soon. God willing starting end of this week or next week I will feature articles on mosques and tombs also other interesting places seen in a visit to Brunei made before the (Muslim holy fasting) month of Ramadhan.

Kita lihat ke dalam masjid....

Let us have a look inside the mosque...

Ia juga dipanggil Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim sempena nama Sultan Selangor kedua.

It is also called the main mosque of Sultan Ibrahim in conjunction with the name of the second Sultan of Selangor.

Masjid negeri (State mosque of) Negeri Sembilan

Dari Melaka kita ke Negeri Sembilan.
From Melaka we go to Negeri Sembilan.

Ini pula adalah masjid negeri bagi Negeri Sembilan.

This in turn is the state mosque for Negeri Sembilan.

Ia memiliki menara yang terletak agak jauh di luar bangunan utama.
It has a tower which is situated rather far outside the main building.

Mari kita lihat bangunan utama lebih dekat.

Let us have a closer look at the main building.

Perhatikan jarak menara dari serambi bangunan.
