Semoga kesah Ngah Ibrahim menjadi suntikan semangat untok kita orang orang melayu membetolkan fakta sejarah yang telah dipesongkan. AL FATEHAH..
The final journey home
Orang-Orang Kaya-Kaya Laksamana Mohd Amin Alang Duakap and Orang-Orang Kaya Menteri Larut Ngah Ibrahim Long Jaafar were chiefs of Perak found complicit in the assassination of J.W.W. Birch in November 1875. Together with Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah II, they were sent into exile to the Seychelles in 1877.
Also exiled were Orang Kaya-Kaya Shahbandar Uda Maamor, and the family members of Sultan Abdullah and those of the two aforementioned chiefs. In 1894, Sultan Abdullah together with Laksamana Mohd Amin, Ngah Ibrahim and Uda Maamor were allowed to return.
Whilst Sultan Abdullah returned to Singapore, the three chiefs were sent initially to Sarawak and then finally allowed to go to Singapore. Sultan Abdullah finally returned to Kuala Kangsar in 1922, but the three men never saw Perak ever again, only to remain in exile in Singapore until their passing. Ngah Ibrahim died in 1895 whilst Mohd Amin died in 1905. The final resting place of Uda Maamor in Singapore is not known to this day.
On 9 September 2006, the final resting place of the late Laksamana Mohd Amin and Ngah Ibrahim in Singapore were finally discovered and the remains brought back to Perak. The exhumation of their remains at Pusara Al-Junied at Jalan Kubur were given the go ahead by the Singaporean National Environment Agency. Archaeologists from Malaysia’s National Heritage Department, as well as staff of Warees Investments Pte Ltd , a subsidiary of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), managed the exhumation.
