No. 77 Banda Hilir -- is across the road from No. 76 Banda Hilir. The shophouses here vary in shape and size - No. 71 vs No. 73 & 75 vs No. 77 vs No. 79, 81, 83. No. 77 Banda Hilir is a single double-storey brick shophouse with colourful art decor dated 1927 at the roof top (frieze). It was probably sold after Hj Mohd Sharif died (between 1906-1912) and was then renovated or restored in 1927. It is now occupied by a sportshop - Syarikat Perniagaan Engraving Melaka (Engraving & Trading (Melaka) Sdn Bhd), which has a blue signboard. There is parking space in front of the shop.

WITNESSES OF HJ MOHD SHARIF'S WILL
BANDAR HILIR, MALACCA
Will of 1 March 1906
====================================
There were 2 witnesses for the Will:**
- Zainal bin Omar Sidang
- Omar bin Saleh Bilal
**The last word after the name indicates the post held, eg Tok Sidang, Tok Bilal. They were men from the mosque, but it doesn't specify which mosque. Could most probably be from Masjid Banda Hilir, unless he had reason to use people from Masjid Semabok, where he & wife are buried.
The first witness, Zainal bin Omar, is the younger man (probably an adult son) and Omar bin Saleh is the second witness, an elder man (probably father of the first witness). So the 2 witnesses were father-and-son who worked for the masjid, one was a Sidang and the other was a Bilal. Who and where are they or their descendants today?

Saya cadangkan Prof dptkan maklumat dari Hj Mazlan bin Hj Rahim bin Hj Nordin, pemegang amanah tanah pusaka di bandar hilir. Saya difahamkan bapa prof selalu pulang ke melaka semasa hayatnya. Bapa prof juga memberi kebenaran rumah 262 itu dirobohkan dgn syarat digantikan dgn rumah yg lain. Sebelum ini bapa saya memegang amanah ini sebelum diperturunksn kpd Hj Mazlan. Tiada gadaian tanah betlaku malah cukai tanah bandar dilunaskan setiap tahun. Prof pasti maklum jika cukai tanah tertunggak dlm jumlah yg agak besar kerajaan negeri pasti merampasnya dan inilah yg berlaku pada kebanyakan tanah melayu di bandar. Seperkara lagi, wasiat hanyalah wasiat tapi tanpa geran tanah ia tidak memberi erti apa apa. Bagaimanapun saya kagum dgn kajian Prof berhubung salah silah atau root keluarga Prof.

TQ Mahadhir Mohamad, cicit Hj Nordin, untuk menulis dan memaklumkan hal tentang pemegang amanah tanah pusaka di Bandar Hilir. Saya tiada di Malaysia buat masa yang lama dan tidak tahu-menahu tentang apa bapa saya buat di Bandar Hilir. Dia tidak memaklumkan apa-apa kepada saya. Saya cuma ada gambar yang saya peroleh dari pendrive bapa saya setelah ia meninggal dunia - tiada apa-apa nota tentan Banda Hilir.
DeleteTerima kasih prof kerana memberi respon ke atas komen saya. Saya juga tidak mengambil berat tentang urusan tanah pusaka ini sehinggalah Hj Mazlan meminta persetujuan dari 33 waris (kalau tak silap saya) utk menjual salah satu lot tanah. Saya dari 5 waris telah tidak bersetuju dan ia tidak jadi dijual. Menurut Hj Mazlan, tanah masjid An Nur dan seekar tanahnya tidak mempunyai nama pemilikan yg jelas. Beliau cuma diberi amanah memunggut sewa rumah utk menampung cukai tanah. Hal ini menurut Hj Mazlan prof boleh mendapatkan maklumat dari Hj Salleh yg menetap di Kelang Selangor. Namun menurut seorang saksi percakapan Aziz Bachik (juga pemenang pingat emas sukan sea manila 1977), soal tanah itu telah diwakafkan kpd masjid cuma dari cakap cakap tetapi bapa atau datuk dan moyang prof tidak pernah memberi persetujuan secara bertulis dan ia masih milik waris Hj Sharif, Allahualam. Berhubung tanah tanah di semabuk, ujung pasir dan bukit tempurung, menurut Hj Mazlan ia telahpun dijual oleh waris waris Hj Sharif. Hj Mazlan amat gembira bila diberitahu tentang blog prof ini dan berharap dapat berjumpa demi mengeratkan silaturahim. Menurutnya beliau turut menziarahi kediaman prof di Pulau Pinang sewaktu bapa prof meninggal dunia. Prof, waris Hj Nordin sudah byk kali berusaha utk mendapatkan taraf tanah reserve melayu tapi tidak mendapat sokongan (meskipun orang kampung disini merupakan penyokong kuat Umno sejak merdeka. Sekarang, sendiri mau ingatla). Kali terakhir menurut Hj Mazlan supaya tanah di Bandar Hilir ini diberi status tanah warisan ditolak oleh KM Ali Rustam dgn alasan tanah warisan adalah anugerah kerajaan persekutuan. Prof mungkin boleh dpt satu cerita yg menarik berhubung cerita wakaf ini dari Aziz Bachik tapi mungkin dikesempatan yg lain atau jika prof dapat menebual dgn beliau sendiri. Sekian sahaja.
ReplyDeleteTQ, Mahadhir Mohamad (cicit Hj Nordin). Saya tidak mengenali ketiga-tiga nama berkenaan di atas - Hj Mazlan, Hj Salleh dann Aziz Bachik. Menurut adik saya Muhammad Farid, bapa saya telah memberi geran tanah kepadanya, dan ia pula memberi geran berkenaan kepada abang sulung saya, Muhammad Sharif. Saya tidak ada apa-apa berita daripada abang sulung saya yang baru-baru ini sakit dan dimasukkan ke hospital. Saya ada di rumah bapa saya di Minden Heights Jalan 7 semasa ia meninggal dunia. Saya tak kenal ramai orang yang turut hadir kerana saya tak pernah jumpa mereka. Saya tak pasti tanah di Banda Hilir tu tanah wakaf dan apa dia tanah yang seekar tu. Saya ambil maklum tentang penjualan tanah Hj Sharif di Semabok, Ujung Pasir dan Bukit Tempurung. Bagi menjadikan Masjid Bandar Hilir dan kawasannya sebagai warisan, saya rasa mungkin boleh minta pihak Kementerian Warisan atau Arkeologi tengokkan. Prof Zuraina Majid ialah saudara sebelah bapa saya dan dia terlibat dengan banyak tapak arkeologi sebagai warisan. Mungkin dia boleh membantu. Saya mendapat tahu yang penempatan di Bandar Hilir diasaskan oleh Nakhoda yang berketurunan Minangkabau daripada Istana Pagarruyung. Dengan itu, sepatutnya penempatan di Bandar Hilir dikaitkan dengan Masjid Batu Uban di Kg Melyu Batu Uban di Pulau Pinang, yang juga diasaskan oleh Nakhoda pada tahun 1734. Walaupun Majlis Perbandaran Melaka telahpun mentarikhkan penubuhan Masjid Bandar Hilir pada 1820, saya rasakan tarikh ini tak betul kerana hampir 86 tahun beza masa. Nakhoda mengasaskan ketiga-tiga masjid di Pulau Pinang, Melaka dan Singapura, jadi waktunya patut sama atau dekat sekitar 1734. Lagi satu, saya diberitahu oleh pewaris generasi ke-5 Datuk Jenaton bahawa Nakhoda dikebumikan di Tanah Perkuburan Masjid Batu Uban, tapi saya tak sempat mencari pusaranya. Datuk Jenaton dikebumikan hampir 1 km dari ruma ibu saya di Minden Heights. Saya ada salasilah keturunan Nakhoda, baik yang dari Pagarruyung mahupun yang Arab, mungkin daripada Hadramawt. Hari ini seorang waris bernama Syed Alwi Aidid menulis bagi menerangkan perkahwinan beberapa orang waris. Saya tak pernah jumpanya.
DeletePembetulan.
ReplyDeleteMadrasah Banda Hilir (kemudian menjadi Masjid Banda Hilir dan sekarang Masjid An-Nur Banda Hilir) diasaskan oleh Dato Shahbuddin bin Hj Mohd Amin pada 1820. Nama lainnya dalam wasiat cucunya (Hj Md Sharif bin Ismail) ialah Tuan Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin.
Nakhoda Nan Intan membina Masjid Tengkera pada 1728 dan Masjid Batu Uban, P. Pinang pada 1734 setelah berhijrah ke sana dan beliau meninggal di Kg Batu Uban. Makamnya di tanah perkuburan Masjid Batu Uban.
