Makam sebenar (Real tomb of) Tok Sagor?

Bersambung daripada Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kundah @ Gondah.

Continuing from Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kundah @ Gondah.

Seterusnya kami ditunjukkan sebuah makam lain kira-kira 20-30 meter ke timur laut.

Next we were shown another tomb around 20-30 metres to the north-east.

Katanya inilah makam sebenar pejuang Melayu abad ke-19 yang dikenali sebagai Tok Sagor.

It is said this is the true tomb of the 19th century Malay fighter known as Tok Sagor.

Ini bertentangan dengan cerita rasmi sejarah yang menyebut Tok Sagor mati dihukum gantung kerana terlibat dalam pembunuhan Residen pertama British ke Perak iaitu J.W.W. Birch, pada tahun 1875. Lalu makam beliau dikatakan terletak di Matang. Lihat artikel lama Makam (Tomb of) Tok Sagor.

This is contrary to official version of history which say Tok Sagor died after sentenced to hang for involvement in the assassination of British's first resident in Perak which was J.W.W. Birch, in the year 1875. And so his tomb is said to be situated in Matang. Look at the old article Makam (Tomb of) Tok Sagor.

Namun ada cerita menyebut beliau dapat melarikan diri daripada buruan British. Lalu beliau meninggal dunia secara aman sekitar tahun 1940an.

Still there is a story saying he managed to run away from British hunt. And so he passed away in peace around the year 1940s.

Continuing from the article Tapak masjid lama (Site of old mosque of) Tok Gondah.

Seterusnya kami ditunjukkan makam Tok Gondah kira-kira 200-300 meter dari tapak masjid lama.

Next we were shown the tomb of Tok Gondah around 200-300 metres from the site of the old mosque..

Tertulis nama sebenar beliau adalah Haji Ahmad bin Tok Laji tetapi lebih dikenali sebagai Tok Kundah. Tetapi sering disebut sebagai Tok Gondah. Cuma tahun kembali ke rahmatullah iaitu 1798 itu mungkin terkeliru dengan tahun beliau mengasaskan Lekir. Kerana ada sebab untuk percaya beliau ada terlibat dalam pembunuhan Residen pertama British ke Perak iaitu J.W.W. Birch, pada tahun 1875.

Written his real name was Haji  Ahmad bin Tok Laji but better known as Tok Kundah. But often mentioned as Tok Gondah. It's just the year he is mentioned as having died which is 1798 might be a confusion with the year he established Lekir. This is because there is reason to believe he was involved in the assassination of British's first resident in Perak which was J.W.W. Birch, in the year 1875.

Salam. Ada perkongsian daripada satu perjalanan semalam.

Peace be upon you. There's something to be shared from a trip yesterday.

Sabtu 27 November 2021. Saya pergi ke Perak bersama seorang kawan dengan tujuan untuk mencari makam seorang tokoh yang dikenali sebagai Tok Gondah.

Saturday 27th November 2021. I went to Perak with a friend with the main aim of finding the tomb of a figure known as Tok Gondah.

Beliau dikatakan orang yang membuka penempatan di Lekir berdekatan Lumut lebih 200 tahun lalu. Rujuk cerita berkenaan dalam artikel Masjid (Mosque of) Batu 8, Lekir, Perak.

He is said to be the person who opened up the settlement in Lekir close to Lumut more than 200 years ago. Refer to the relevant story in the article Masjid (Mosque of) Batu 8, Lekir, Perak.

Kami pun ditunjukkan satu tempat penting terkait dengan Tok Gondah.

We were then shown an important place related to Tok Gondah.

Dikatakan di sinilah Tok Gondah membuka masjid pertama di Lekir.

It is said it was here that Tok Gondah opened the first mosque in Lekir.
