Di bahagian lain Papan tetapi sebenarnya dekat dengan tanah perkuburan terdapat rumah besar yang siap dibina oleh Raja Bilah tahun 1896.

At another part of Papan but actually close to the burial ground lies a big house which was built and completed by Raja Bilah in the year 1896.

Ia turut dikenali sebagai Istana Raja Bilah. Boleh jadi kerana ia rumah besar dan pemiliknya bertaraf raja sekurang-kurangnya bagi masyarakat yang dipimpinnya terutama orang Mandailing.

It is also known as Istana Raja Bilah. This could be because it is a big house and its own is of kingly status at least to the community he led especially the Mandailing people.

Saya pernah ke sini sekali 8 tahun lalu. Lihat Rumah (House of) Raja Bilah. Selepas beberapa lama ia telah dipulihkan oleh Jabatan Warisan lalu digazetkan sebagai bangunan warisan.

I have been here once 8 years ago. Look at Rumah (House of) Raja Bilah. After some time it was restored by the Heritage Department and was gazetted as a heritage building.

Tetapi dahulu saya tidak berpeluang masuk ke dalam. Sekarang baru dapat...

But before I did not have the chance to go inside. Now only I had it...

Tanah perkuburan Islam (Muslim burial ground of) Papan, Perak

Salam semua. Ada sedikit perkongsian daripada persinggahan di Perak kurang 3 minggu lalu.

Peace be upon you all. There is a bit sharing from a stop in Perak less than 3 weeks ago.

Petang Selasa 1 September 2020. Dalam perjalanan dari utara kembali ke rumah kami telah singgah di pekan Papan dekat Ipoh lalu ke tanah perkuburan Islam ini.

Tuesday afternoon 1st September 2020. On the way from the north to return home we stopped by the small town of Papan near Ipoh and went to this Muslim burial ground.

Kedudukannya agak tersorok. Ia menempatkan jasad sejumlah penduduk Papan sejak ia menjadi satu pusat penting perlombongan bijih timah sekitar seabad lalu.

Its location is rather obscure. It houses the remains of a number of the people of Papan since it was an important centre of tin mining around a century ago.

Namun setelah beberapa dekad perlombongan bijih timah tidak lagi penting lalu Papan terkesan.

However after a few decades tin mining was no more important and Papan was affected.

Penduduk berpindah ke tempat-tempat lain lalu tanah perkuburan ini tidak lagi digunakan...

The populace migrated to other places and thus this burial ground is no more in use...
