The return of Dato Maharaja Lela

I find it quite perplexing that a major event involving the office, which had been put in cold storage for so many years—the office that has been the subject of passionate and emotional discussions by many Perakians of Bugis descent—has come and gone without any fanfare at all. Even our local social media scene is awfully quiet, and no trace of it being mentioned can be found anywhere!

The well-hidden Ngah Jabor at Kepayang

I have always found some, if not all, claims brought forward by folks from Kepayang to be not only rather bizarre but also quite outrageous. Unfortunately, in the last few years, very few people share my views, mainly because the Malays in this part of the world simply do not have the courage to question local mainstream history, no matter how preposterous it could be.
