Makam Nakhoda Intan atau keturunan? (Tomb of Nakhoda Intan or descendant?)



Di halaman hadapan masjid terdapat sebuah tanah perkuburan lama.
At the front lawn of the mosque there exists an old burial ground.

Dalam masjid menghadap kubur pula terdapat sebuah makam.
Inside the mosque facing the cemetery in turn lies a tomb.


Ada yang percaya ini makam Nakhoda Intan, pengasas Batu Uban.
There are those who believe this is the tomb of Nakhoda Intan, founder of Batu Uban.


Ada pula percaya ini adalah makam seorang keturunannya...
In turn there are those who believe this is the tomb of one of his descendant...
