From Taiping with Love!


Salam Sem06,

I know that all of you are busy with your first project - reHUB. So good luck and give your best!

Have fun this weekend in K.Kangsar and Taiping. Ask the locals why the term From Taiping with Love is popular there?

  3. some interesting perak royalty rituals the origin of Kuala Kangsar

    The present Perak sultanate was
    established in 1528 and draws its origins
    to Sultan Mudzaffar Shah the eldest son of
    the last Sultan of Malacca. His courtiers
    along with the Royal Regalia escorted
    the Sultan’s journey to Perak. When his
    ship approached the Perak River mouth, a
    ferocious storm suddenly arose. The ship
    was tossed around, powerless to journey
    on. Sultan Mudzaffar commanded that all
    unnecessary cargos be thrown overboard,
    as he thought it was due to the ship’s
    load. As the storm worsened, the ill-fated
    ship rammed a sandbank that surfaced
    suddenly in the middle of the river mouth.
    At that point, an enormous genie
    appeared from the sea, so massive that his
    head touched the sky. Terror surrounded
    everyone including the Sultan. The great
    genie commanded the Sultan, “Should
    you desire to be proclaimed the Sultan
    of Perak, cast your crown into this very
    sea...”. Fearing for the lives of his loyal
    subjects, the Sultan promptly charged
    his captain to fetch his crown and throw
    it into the river. Miraculously, the genie
    vanished, the water turned calm and the
    huge sandbank receded. Everyone was
    utterly overwhelmed and amazed.
    Sultan Mudzaffar, then, commanded
    the ship to dock. Once the anchor was
    dropped, he came ashore to the place
    currently known as Beting Beras Basah.
    He decreed that he would be proclaimed
    as the Sultan of Perak at the exact spot
    before journeying on. The event marks
    the historic site for all his descendants
    ever since. Newly elected Sultan of Perak
    is obligated to pay homage to the very
    place after being crowned. From then on,
    the State of Perak only bears the title of
    Raja Muda (Heir Apparent) instead of
    Tengku Mahkota (Crown Prince) because
    the royal crown is in the possession of the
    great genie, Sri Mahkota Si Raja Jinn.
    To experience the grandeur of Perak’s
    royal history and observe the state’s
    impressive Royal Regalia, pay a visit to
    Muzium Diraja Kuala Kangsar (Kuala
    Kangsar Royal Museum), previously
    known as Istana Kenangan (Palace of
    Memories). The museum opens daily and
    rests majestically on the hilly landscape
    of Bukit Chandan.
