From Banting, Selangor we go to Ledang, Johor.

Pada 1 September 2011 iaitu hari raya ke tiga raya telah pergi ke kawasan Pantai Layang dan Teluk Kemang dalam daerah Ledang (dahulu sebahagian dari Muar) untuk mencari makam orang yang dipanggil Dato' Pasir Diraja Sayyid Jaafar.
On 1st September 2011 which is the third day of raya (Muslim Eid celebration) I went to the area of Pantai Layang and Teluk Kemang in the district of Ledang (formerly part of Muar to look for the tomb of a person called Dato' Pasir Diraja Sayyid Jaafar.

Menurut ceritanya Sayyid Jaaffar telah diberi pemerintahan ke atas NEGERI Muar lebih 300 tahun lalu. Untuk pengetahuan Muar dahulu bukan sekadar daerah, ia sebuah negeri yang meliputi daerah Muar, Ledang dan Segamat sekarang.
According to the stories Sayyid Jaffar was given rule over the STATE of Muar more than 300 years ago. For information Muar of old was not just a district, it is a state covering the present districts of Muar, Ledang and Segamat.

Sayyid Jaafar memilih untuk bersemayam di satu tempat bernama Pantai Layang, dahulu di tepian Sungai Muar tetapi kini bahagian sungai itu telah 'mati' akibat perubahan aliran.
Sayyid Jaafar chosed to preside at a place called Pantai Layang, used to be besides the river of Muar but now that part of the river has become 'dead' or stalled because of the changing course.

Saya telah pergi ke Pantai Layang mencari makam Sayyid Jaafar yang dikatakan terletak di sekitar itu. Namun penduduk tempatan yang ditemui tidak tahu siapakah itu Sayyid Jaafar.
I have gone to Pantai Layang looking for the tomb of Sayyid Jaffar which is said to be located around there. Still the locals met don't know who is this Sayyid Jaafar.

Untuk makluman anak Sayyid Jaafar kemudian memerintah Muar dengan memakai gelaran Temenggung Muar, juga dikenali sebagai Raja Temenggung Muar. Gelaran itu terus dipegang keturunannya sampai jawatan itu dimansuhkan awal abad ke 20 Masihi.
For information a son of Sayyid Jaafar then ruled Muar using the title Temenggung (of) Muar (Temenggung being like a royal interior minister), also known as Raja (the ruler) Temenggung Muar. The title was held by his descendants until the post was dissolved early 20th century.

Apapun saya ditunjukkan arah ke satu tempat di Teluk Kemang berdekatan Pantai Layang. Menurut seorang penduduk tempatan setahunya cuma di situ terletak makam-makam lama di sekitar ini.
Whatever I was pointed the direction to a place in Teluk Kemang nearby Pantai Layang. According to a local as far as he knows it is only there could be found old tombs around here.

Letaknya di dalam kawasan hutan buluh tepian Sungai Muar menghadap Tanjung Temiang di seberang.
Its location is in a bamboo jungle beside the Muar river facing Tanjung (cape of) Temiang across.


Saya dapat melihat sekurang-kurangnya 6 atau 7 buah makam lama sekitar ini.
I could see at least 6 or 7 old tombs around here.

Samada makam Sayyid Jaafar terletak di sini atau tidak saya harap ada pihak lebih arif yang dapat membantu memastikan.
Whether the tomb of Sayyid Jaafar is located here or not I hope that someone of more knowledge would come to help verify.
