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.

The day I met Tun Hanif Omar at Tambun

It was a few years ago when I stumbled upon Tun Hanif Omar at what was once known as the Taman Perpaduan Restoran Nasi Vanggey outlet. It was a fine Sunday morning, and Tun Hanif Omar was enjoying breakfast at the restaurant with his family.

It was a long time ago, and I couldn’t really remember what we were talking about, but it led to Tun Hanif Omar revealing that he has many relatives living in and around Tambun.

Abdul Daim and Che Mohd Senawi's Kinta legacy

It is without a doubt that the Sale & Purchase Agreement signed by the 'keluarga diraja, bangsa diraja, lombong diraja' family and Headlines International Sdn Bhd (the Purchaser) a few years ago is a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for the sale of a parcel of vacant freehold land located in Tambun to Headlines International Sdn Bhd, descendants of the man who hid behind the alias known today as Kulup Lembang would never have been inspired to study the fascinating history of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), which holds a special significance in the history of the Purchaser’s Solicitor, Saiful Arshad & Co.

Brief history of Idris Hydraulic (Malaysia) Bhd

The mysterious man cum mining landlord who hid behind the alias known today as Kulup Lembang was very close to the late Sultan Idris, but very little is known regarding their close connections. This is something Kulup Lembang has in common with the influential Kamparian known as Ngah Jabor, who was also very close to the same Sultan of Perak.
