I'm here again. Checking out what you'...Hi! I'm here again. Checking out what you've edited. Now that you've inserted the map I can see where I was mistaken. I thought you meant the Petagas bridge, where the flyover is. <br />Anyway, this grave is definitely not in Kg. Contoh. I'll find out for you if no one beats me to it!<br /><br />I think "Laksamana" is a title, not a name. Probably Brunei or even Sulu in origin. The man's grave is in Bundu. We should go visit it one of these days. <br /><br />I found your blog some time ago. Your post on your origin caught my eye! I knew it was you only after reading it.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610228804345285508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671785126984603202.post-86967216013045471322011-03-21T19:02:52.617+08:002011-03-21T19:02:52.617+08:00Hello aunty Tina,
Visited your blog, saw Sheila ...Hello aunty Tina, <br /><br />Visited your blog, saw Sheila as one of your followers. I connected the dots :D. How did you find my blog? <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I will certainly look out for that book. Planning to visit the State Museum one of these days for research also. Since coming back to Sabah and finding out that my maternal great great grandfather was a Chinese named Koh Thai Hock, I've been very interested in our family and North Borneo's heritage.<br /><br />Can you shed some light on family rumour that Grandma Mary Motto's father was a Filipino named Laksamana? Oh yah! he would be your late father's father also hahaha.. I get confused with our connections sometime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136354003276435786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671785126984603202.post-53598346337840397572011-03-21T16:39:55.344+08:002011-03-21T16:39:55.344+08:00In the old days when parts of Sabah were Brunei-ow...In the old days when parts of Sabah were Brunei-owned (as was the whole of Sarawak) many river valleys up to Tampasuk in the north were 'tulins' (or tulen) The Sultan of Brunei appointed men (usually from the royal court) to head a tulin and be responsible for tax collection which was in the form of rice.<br />FYI, the government of Brunei made copper rice 'gantangs' specially to expedite the collection of this tax from the common people. I have one such gantang in my collection... probably from one of our ancestors. <br /><br />You can learn more about tulins and their rulers in "Pirate Wind" by Rutter. (I blogged about the book.)<br /><br />Thanks for showing the location of the grave. I always thought it was somewhere near the sea... at Kg. Contoh.<br /><br />Yes, it's true you could see the sea even from the road fronting the Kinarut Mansion. How come it disappeared?<br /><br />Great blog, Justin!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610228804345285508noreply@blogger.com
