Muzium (Museum of) Sultan Alam Shah

Kita pergi ke bandar raya Shah Alam pula...

We go to the city of Shah Alam in turn...

Baru-baru ini saya pergi ke Muzium Sultan Alam Shah di tengah bandar raya.

Recently I went to the museum of Sultan Alam Shah at the city centre.

Masuk ke dalam saya terus ke balai sejarahnya.

Going inside I immediately headed for its history gallery.

Apa yang dipaparkan adalah hal berkenaan negeri Selangor dan kesultanannya.

What is portrayed are matters pertaining to the state of Selangor and its sultanate.

Di bawah ada beberapa lagi balai.

Below there are a few more galleries.

Mula sekali adalah balai kebudayaan.

First there's the cultural gallery.

Menariknya ia memiliki banyak koleksi senjata tradisional Melayu.

Interestingly it has a large collection of Malay traditional weapons.

Kemudian baru ada barang lain melibatkan kebudayaan...

Then only there's other things involving culture...

Balai-balai lain terdapat di bawah lagi.

Other galleries are available further down.

Saya terus ke balai Islam.

I went straight to the Islamic gallery.

Makam (Tomb of) Pinang Tunggal, Jalan Klang Lama

Beralih sebentar ke Lembah Klang.

Shifting for a while to the Klang Valley.

Sekitar sebulan lepas saya diberitahu tentang kewujudan sebuah makam yang dianggap keramat di Jalan Klang Lama. Dua minggu kemudian saya pun tergerak untuk mencarinya...

About a month ago I was told of the existence of a tomb considered sacred at Jalan (road of) Klang Lama. Two weeks later I was moved to look for it.

Ia dipanggil Makam Pinang Tunggal. Rupa-rupanya ada dua makam, satu milik orang bernama Sheikh Abu Bakar, satu lagi milik Syed Mukmin Mukhtar Ali.

It is called Makam (Tomb of) Pinang Tunggal. As it turned out there are two tombs, one belonging to someone named Sheikh Abu Bakar, another belonging to Syed Mukmin Mukhtar Ali.

Kalau tak salah ia terletak di Taman Sentosa. Saya tak pasti samada ini dalam wilayah Kuala Lumpur atau negeri Selangor kerana berdekatan sempadan. Saya anggap ia di KL.

If not mistaken it is situated at (the residential area of) Taman Sentosa. I'm not sure if this is inside the province of Kuala Lumpur or state of Selangor as it is close to the border. I presume it is in KL.

Saya juga tak pasti yang mana satu makam milik siapa.

I am also not sure which tomb belongs to whom.

Kita lihat satu persatu bermula yang kanan.

We look one by one starting with the right.

Ia memiliki batu nesan Aceh bercat kuning...

It has Aceh tombstones painted yellow...

Yang kiri pula.

The left in turn.

Ia juga memiliki batu nesan Aceh.

It also has Aceh tombstones.

Masjid Agung (Great mosque of) Tuban

Bersambung dari Masjid (Mosque of) Astana, Tuban.

Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Astana, Tuban.

Keluar sedikit dari kawasan makam Sunan Bonang terdapat Masjid Agung Tuban.

Outside a bit from the tomb area of Sunan Bonang there lies the Masjid Agung (great mosque) of Tuban.

Sebenarnya kedudukan masjid cantik ini sangat dekat dengan makam.

Actually the position of this beautiful mosque is very close to the tomb.

Tetapi ia sengaja dipisahkan oleh tembok batu di luar hadapan masjid.

But it was deliberately separated by a stone wall outside in front of the mosque.
