MELAKA - LUBOK CHINA & MASJID TANAH (2014)

LUBOK CHINA / MASJID TANAH, MELAKA

7.10.2014

My sister, brother and I went to the RISDA Office of the Tanah Melaka Mosque to deal with our late mother's inheritance on 7 October 2014.
We stopped at Lubok China first before continuing our journey to the Masjid Tanah,Melaka.

The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Lubok China, Melaka is 107 km and takes 1 hour 45 minutes to drive.

LUBOK CHINA

Lubok China is a small town in Alor Gajah District of Melaka, situated near the border of Negeri Sembilan.

Lubok Cina is also the hometown of my late mother and also my late father. My late mother's hometown is located in Kg Sungai Siput Lubok Cina Melaka while my late father's hometown is in Kg Nerambai, Lubok Cina Negeri Sembilan. This means that Lubok Cina is a district within 2 states.

Kampung Nerambai is located in the Lubok Cina district. N. Sembilan is the hometown of my late father, Maamor bin Sudin. We stopped by Kampung Nerambai because my son wanted to see the Heritage Cannon left by our ancestors, which is located next to the site of my grandfather's former house. I don't know much about the history of this cannon. Only according to my brother, our ancestors were once influential people in this area, but unfortunately, there are no historical records about it. All that remains are only memories.

MASJID TANAH, MELAKA

Masjid Tanah is a town in northwestern Melaka, bordering Negeri Sembilan across the Linggi River. 

Masjid Tanah was once belonged to the state of Naning until the British conquest in 1832 when it was integrated to the Straits Settlement of Malacca. 

Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority or RISDA is a federal government agency under the Ministry of Rural Development and was established on 1 January 1973. 

The government looked at the weight on the role carried out by the smallholder sector as an important production sector in the national economy. 

Vintage Rubber roller machine

This rubber machine replica brings back memories from the 70s when I returned to my hometown. I remember my late grandfather in the evenings starting to machine the rubber that had been tapped at dawn.... those were the days...
