Masjid (Mosque of) Batu 8, Lekir, Perak

OK. Sudah sampai masanya saya menamatkan cerita melibatkan perjalanan ke Pantai Timur 26 Mac-4 April.

OK. Came the time for me to end the stories involving the trip to the East Coast 26 March-4 April.

Selasa 3 Mac 2012. Selepas bermalam di Lumut, Perak saya pun menghala ke Teluk Intan lalu terlihat masjid ini.

Tuesday 3rd March 2012. After spending the night in Lumut, Perak I then headed for the Teluk Intan and saw this mosque.

Ia adalah masjid di Batu 8, Lekir.

It is the mosque at Batu 8 (the 8th mile), Lekir.

Saya tertarik dengan bumbung bertingkatnya.
I was attracted by its multi-tiered roof.

Paling saya suka adalah ukiran yang tergantung di tiap sudut.
What I like most are the carvings hanging from each corner.

Di pangkal menaranya juga ada sesuatu.

At the base of its tower there's also something.

Ada catatan menyebut kampung sini dibuka tahun 1798 membayangkan masjid ini atau bangunan asalnya harus dibuka sekitar itu. Ada juga catatan mengenangkan tarikh kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu dari tangan British 31 Ogos 1957.

There's a writing saying the village here was opened in the year 1798 which gives the impression this mosque or its original building was built around that. There's also writing in rememberance of the date of the independence of Tanah Melayu (the Malay states) from the hands of the (colonialists) British 31st August 1957.

Mari lihat ke dalam. 

Let us have a look inside.
