Makam-makam lama di Bukit Serindit, Melaka (Old tombs at Bukit Serindit, Melaka)

Bersambung dari Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Bukit Gambir, Ledang.
Continued from Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Bukit Gambir, Ledang.

Selepas Bukit Gambir saya pergi ke bandaraya Melaka untuk melawat makam Panglima Pidi di Bukit Cina. Dari situ saya bergegas ke Bukit Serindit di mana terdapat tanah perkuburan Kristian ini.
After Bukit Gambir I went to the city of Melaka to visit the tomb of Panglima Pidi at Bukit Cina. From there I rushed to Bukit Serindit where lies this Christian burial ground.

Di tengah tanah perkuburan itu boleh kelihatan bangunan kuning ini.
In the middle of the burial ground could be seen this yellow building.

Di sebelahnya pula anda boleh melihat batu nesan berbalut kuning.
Besides it in turn you could see a tombstone wrapped in yellow.

Ia menandakan satu makam yang sangat panjang!
It marks a very long tomb!

Makam-makam yang wujud ini katanya milik orang Melayu Islam dari zaman yang lampau.
The tombs existing here are said to belong to Malay Muslims from a long bygone era.

Difahamkan ada pihak mendakwa yang dimakamkan di sini adalah Sultan-sultan Melaka.
It is understood that there is a party who claims the ones laid to rest here are the Sultans of Melaka.

Pada saya makam panjang tadi mungkin. Tetapi tidak yang ini kerana batu nesannya kelihatan milik perempuan apalagi ada tahun tertera yang kemungkinan besar adalah 1295 Hijrah bersamaan 1870an Masihi, bukan zaman Sultan-sultan Melaka yang wujud 400 tahun lebih awal.
For me maybe the long tomb just now (is true). But not this one as the tombstones looks like it belongs to a female what more the year inscribed is most probably 1295 Hijriah equivalent to 1870an AD, not the period of the Sultans of Melaka who have existed 400 years earlier.

Berdekatan kaki makam tadi ada lagi sejumlah makam.
Near the foot of the previous tomb are a number of tombs.

Mungkin ada pihak lebih berwibawa dapat menerangkan makam-makam siapa yang ada di Bukit Serindit.
Maybe there are parties with more credibility who could explain whose tombs is it which exist at Bukit Serindit.

Next we went to the tomb of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah of Melaka in Kampung Raja, Pagoh. A bit to the front we saw this burial ground.

Melihat pada batu-batu nesan ia haruslah satu tanah perkuburan lama.
Looking at the gravestones it must be an old burial ground.

Yang memusykilkan saya kenapa bahagian atas batu nesan dicat kuning? Seolah-olah mahu menandakan pertalian dengan keluarga diraja...
What makes me perplexed is why the upper part of the gravestones are painted yellow? As if to signify ties with royalty...

Esoknya selepas Zuhur kami menghala ke Pagoh. Sampai di Simpang Baba tidak berapa jauh dari kampung ibu saya tergerak untuk singgah di masjidnya.
The next day after Zuhur (Muslim afternoon prayer time) we headed for Pagoh. Upon reaching Simpang Baba not far from my mum's native village I was moved to stop by its mosque.

Saya pernah beberapa kali bersolat Jumaat di sini. Baru kali ini tergerak mengambil gambar.
I have done the Jumaat (compulsory congregational) prayers here. It is only now I felt like taking pictures.

Di sebelah makam terdapat masjid lama Machap.
Besides the tomb there exist the old mosque of Machap.


Difahamkan ia dibina di atas tapak masjid yang lebih lama.
It is understood it was built on the site of a much older mosque.


Saya tidak tahu berapakah umur masjid yang ada ini.
I don't know how old is this present mosque.

Yang pasti ia cukup lama dan bernilai untuk diiktiraf sebagai warisan negara.

What is sure it is old enough and valuable to be recognised as a national heritage.

Letaknya di pinggir tasik memberikan rasa santai yang nyaman.
Its position at the fringe of a lake gives a relaxed and cool feel.

Hiasan lama yang ada menambah rasa antik...
The old ornaments available added an antique feeling.
