REZEKI TAK DIDUGA...

Banyak harta karun di dasar sungai, laut N.Sembilan


Seorang sahabat saya pernah menceritakan kepada saya , bahawa seorang ulama Negeri Sembilan pernah menceritakan kepadanya jika pemerintahan yang adil dan amanah menurut Islam berjalan di Negeri Sembilan maka akan timbul hasil mahsul dari perut laut dan muka bumi. Jika kenyataan tersebut datang dari mulut ulama tersebut memang saya percaya dan yakin.

Berita di bawah ini membenarkan apa yang dikatakan oleh ulama tersebut. Satu keluarga di Melaka telah menemui satu artifak lama dari dalam ikan yang hendak di makan mereka. Artifak tersebut diguna oleh tentera Portugis pada kurun ke 16 ketika mereka menyerang Melaka. Siasatan lanjut mendapat artifak tersebut wujud sejak kurun ke 13 lagi. Keluarga tersebut menganggap artifak tersebut adalah anugerah dan rahmat dari Tuhan mereka.


Negeri Sembilan wujud sejak zaman kerajaan Rembau lebih 600 tahun yang lalu yang mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dengan kerajaan Islam Melaka. Laluan Sg Linggi, Sg Rembau, Sg Penajeh adalah laluan utama pedagang Sumatera, pedagang Arab dan pedagang China. Sudah pasti banyak harta karun di sepanjang sungai tersebut.

Apakan daya kita tidak banyak menyimpan manuskrip lama tulisan jawi akan apa sebenarnya yang berlaku di Negeri Sembilan sejak 600 tahun yang lalu. Yang menyimpan dan mengkaji manuskrip tersebut ialah bangsa bukan Melayu.

Woman finds ancient artifact in baby shark

February 22, 2012

MALACCA: A baby shark being prepared for lunch gave a family here a big surprise - an ancient artifact believed to be dated long before the Portuguese conquest of Malacca.

Housewife Suseela Menon, from Klebang, made the priceless discovery while filleting the fish for lunch.

It is believed to be a medallion worn by the Portuguese soldiers, presumably as a divine protection, during their conquests in this part of the world in the 16th century.

One side of the medallion is a profile of a woman's head with a crown and encircled by a halo and an inscription that is unclear.

Checks with a local historian revealed the head engraving could be that of Queen Elizabeth, the consort of King Denis I of Portugal during his reign from 1271 to 1336.

Suseela said she immediately cleaned the medallion and preserved it in a box.

“I bought two sharks from the wet market and was taken aback upon discovering the object inside the stomach of one of the fishes,” said the 47-year-old mother-of-two at her home yesterday.

Suseela had wanted to prepare shark curry for her husband.

“Finally, my husband decided not to eat the fish as the object seems to be a religious item,” she said.

The medallion is 7.4cm long, 6cm wide and weighs 10g.

“My husband feels it is a blessing for the family to have the medallion coming to our home from beneath the sea. We will always cherish it,” said Suseela.
