Makam Moyang Salleh, Kuala Klawang, Negeri Sembilan

Makam Moyang Salleh (10 July, 2016)


Makam Moyang Salleh (GPS: 2.9422, 102.08084) is a mausoleum to a Malay chieftain in Kuala Klawang, Negeri Sembilan. The mausoleum is located beside Route 86, about 1.4km to the east of the Kuala Klawang town centre. This is the final resting place of Dato' Moyang Salleh, the first Dato' Penghulu of Luak Jelebu. (Luak Jelebu is the precursor of presently Jelebu District).

Moyang Salleh is the son of Dato' Mentunggang, the chieftain of Luak Jelebu. His ancestor, Moyang Acheh, was the founder of the Undang institution of Luak Jelebu. Luak Jelebu was a vassal to the Sultanate of Johor, but broke away in 1757. Dato' Moyang Salleh was instrumental in freeing Jelebu from Johor rule, and the event was known as "breaking away from Johor" (memutuskan tali ke Johor).

A short distance from Moyang Salleh's grave is a cannon, known as Meriam Dato' Undang Abdullah, or Dato' Undang Abdullah's Cannon. However, it is believed to be originally owned by Dato' Kelana Putera, as his name Kelana Putera is inscribed on it. The cannon was discovered in Titi, Jelebu, during the rule of Dato' Undang Abdullah bin Panglima Muda, the 12th Dato' Undang of Luak Jelebu. He relocated it on a hill.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
