  • Mapping of Graveyard Location of the Sultans of State of Perak Aided by ICT Applications
    7th International Seminar on ECOLOGY, HUMAN HABITAT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN THE MALAY WORLD Pekanbaru, Riau, INDONESIA, 19-20 August 2014 Mapping of Graveyard Location of The Sultans of State of Perak Aided by ICT Applications Mohd Rohaizat Abdul Wahab1, Ahmad Helmi Mohd Mokhtar1, Muhamad Shafiq Mohd Ali1, Nik Hassan Shuhaimi Nik Abdul Rahman1, Zuliskandar Ramli1, Ros Mahwati Ahmad Zakaria1, Norlelawaty Haron1 & Hasnira Hassan1 1) Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sultan of Perak was the heir of Sultan of Malacca after Perak State was ruled by Sultan Muzaffar who was the son of Sultan Mahmud Shah. The administration of Sultan of Perak grew along Sungai Perak and this can be seen from the tombs located along the Perak River basin from the Lower Perak River to Kuala Kangsar. Due to modernization and environmental changes, most of the graveyards are located at remote places and are difficult to access. This study was conducted to solve the problem of looking for the graveyards’ location by using ICT applications. This paper also discusses the application and procedure for mapping of the point of the graveyards’ coordinates for the tomb sites which were visited during the conduct of this study. The findings of this study will help the heirs of the Sultanate of Perak, the local authorities and the public to find and access the late Sultans of Perak’s graveyards easily and systematically. Keywords: graveyards, Sultan of Perak, coordinates, ICT INTRODUCTION Makam or tombs are the burial sites for the dead and in Malaysia, makam is defined as tombs or mausoleums for royal families and venerated people such as leaders and warriors.

  • The Spatial Configuration of Private Investments by Economic Actors in Perak
    The spatial configuration of private investments by economic actors in Perak A consideration of centricity of the regional urban system of Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia) Luka Raaijmakers (6314554) Under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven Faculty of Geosciences Department of Human Geography and Planning Master’s degree in Economic Geography Specialisation in Regional Development & Policy November 2019 Page | 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is part of the joint research project on regional urban dynamics in Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia). The project is a collaboration between Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and Think City Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven and Matt Benson. I would like to thank dr Leo van Grunsven for his advice related to scientific subjects and his efforts to make us feel at home in Malaysia. Also, I would like to thank Matt Benson and Joel Goh and the other colleagues of Think City for the assistance in conducting research in – for me – uncharted territory. I would like to address other words of thanks to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Institut Darul Ridzuan and all other political bodies that have proven to be valuable as well as economic actors for their honesty and openness with regard to doing business in Malaysia/Perak. Finally, the fun part of writing a master’s thesis in Malaysia, apart from obviously living abroad on a vibrant island, was the part of doing research. This required a little creativity, some resilience and even more perseverance. This could not have been done without the other student members of the research team that took part in the collective effort of unravelling the urban system of Perak by using the knowledge we have gained in our years as academics.

However, he died at a young age, leaving an heir and legacy of the enormous ruling power. Its main enemy, both in the military and in trade, is the European power in the Straits of Malacca. The Ruler of Aceh, after his death, had to deal with the Dutch colonialists who are interested in tin mining in the state of Perak in the Malay Peninsula. Perak, at the time, was under the auspices of Aceh. The main goal of this paper is to review the role and authority of the ruler of Aceh and Perak when dealing with a Dutch ploy to monopolize the quarry.

Up until now, historians tend to suggest that the ‘Malay feudalism’, i.e. the political disputes and the power struggle among the Malay rulers; were the main factors that prompted the Perak 1871-75 mayhem. This writing, however, finds that allegations of ‘civil wars’ and ‘anarchy’; blamed for their so-called roles that pushed Perak to the brink of collapse and eventually led to British intervention, has not been credibly supported. By utilizing authoritative primary and secondary sources, the author argued that these are merely imaginary excuses invented by the British colonial officials to paint the negative perception that the disturbances happened at large in Perak and that the indigenous rule was deteriorating in shape. These excuses were made to simplify justifications by the British in its quest to intervene into the Malay states affairs in the late period of the 19th century. Keywords: Malay states, Perak, Raja Abdullah, Ngah Ibrahim, British colonialism, Larut War, Chinese secret societies Introduction Historians in general have conceded that the scarcity of sources hinders comprehensive study on history of the Malay states in the 19th century.

  • The Ninety-Nine Laws of Perak: a Study of Islamic and Adat Influence in the Malay Society
    THE NINETY-NINE LAWS OF PERAK: A STUDY OF ISLAMIC AND ADAT INFLUENCE IN THE MALAY SOCIETY BY MOHAMAD HAZIZIE BIN SULKAFLE A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Human Sciences in History and Civilization Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia OCTOBER 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation studied one of the intellectual heritages of the Malay society in the corpus of law; the Ninety-nine Laws of Perak. Basically, this study analyzes the influence of Islam and adat in this set of laws and the nature of the interactions between the two. Instead of seeing those interactions as conflicting in nature and creating tension between them, this study points out that those interactions actually happened in a harmonious and tolerance manner. Despite all the shortcomings, traditional Malay society theoretically believed that it was adat which needed to be conformed by Islam and not vice versa. Hence, to achieve these aims, this study analyzed the Islamic elements in this set of laws such as the aspect of statemanship, laws on qiṣāṣ, ḥudūd, marriage and divorce. As for the adat elements, first and foremost, this study highlighted that adat has been unanimously accepted by Muslim scholars since the16th century as a subsidiary source of laws in Islam. This was followed by analyzing the extent those adat elements such as laws on agriculture and transactions conformed to the guidelines provided to be accepted as source of laws. A key distinction of this study is that the existance of adat elements in traditional Malay laws did not make them “less” Islamic.

I first embarked on my research on Malay literature, history and Southeast Asian studies not knowing what to focus on, given the enormous corpus of available literature on the region. Two years into my graduate studies, my graduate advisor, a dear friend and conversation partner, an expert on hikayats, Hendrik Maier brought Misa Melayu, one of the lesser read hikayat to my attention, suggesting that I read it, and write about it. If it was not for his recommendation, this dissertation would not have been written, and for that, and countless other reasons, I thank him kindly. I would like to thank the rest of my graduate committee, and fellow Southeast Asianists Mariam Lam and Tamara Ho, whose friendship, advice, support and guidance have been indispensable.

Parts of the literature being reviewed include (i) the history of Perak, (ii) culture in general, (iii) traditional arts in Perak, and (iv) traditional dance in Perak. Each topic is discussed, exploring the existence of the art of traditional dance in Perak that brought about cultural symbols in each area of the state.
