Makam Tok Botok

Makam Tok Botok (GPS: 2.71874, 101.91413) is an old grave in Taman Koop, Seremban. Located beside Jalan Labu, it is the grave of Tok Botok, whose real name is Tok Sheikh Mohamad. He is the father to Dato' Bandar Tunggal, the 19th century historic personality of Negeri Sembilan, who was involved in a power struggle with Dato Kelana over the tin mining areas of the state. As Dato Kelana received the support of the British, Dato Bandar Tunggal was sent into exile in Singapore with a compensation of just $7 Strait Dollars.

The grave of Tok Botok sits on what was once the first tin mining area in Negeri Sembilan. There used to be a surau near the grave, but it has been torn down, leaving the grave in a rather forlorn position. An interpretive signage provides details of its history.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
