Untold History : Secret of Johore State Emblem Decoded

Imagine this... If you working with Johor State Government, and in 1 unlucky day you are mistakenly wrote the prefix or name of your Director.. let alone Sultan himself... much more worst if you mistakenly drew the wrong State Emblem.. I quite sure you'll be vanished from the State.. 

But not in this case.. person whom redraw the Johor State Emblem was free, infact, he might enjoy his retirement by now.. because, none of the Johore state officers aware of their mistake done for more than 100 years ago.... 

Now... THE POPULAR BELIEF :

These is the Standard Johor emblem.. used in Official Letterhead, Government Offices and Websites.. 





even in JB State HQ..




While... these are the ORIGINAL TIGER Emblem used sometimes between 1886 to 1930's:








See the differences????????

Now.. look closely :



1 had 2 claws.. the other one had no claws.... again.. Jata ni handrawed sometimes in 1860's, used dalam buku Muta'al Badrain :



1 had 2 claws... the other one had 3 claws... both tigers had uneven claws.... again... State Emblem made for JMF Uniform, predated 1900's:



Earliest paintings and drawings depicted this Tigers, one of which was short of 1 leg/claws or deform claws...  Not because they were some drawing mistakes.. but PURPOSELY drew like that 

but.. look at here.. our current Jata officially adopted by State Government:



Some idiots may think our forefathers don't know how to draw tiger claws.. because all ancient painting were uneven... so.. they redraw both tigers to have 3 claws evenly. Unknown to these idiots, there are some story behind these crippled tigers.  

ORIGIN OF 2 TIGERS

Few of us from Johor familiar with story of "Dengkes" and "Tepok".. of of these tigers which 1 was crippled 1 leg short... tempang.

Few chronicles said that they've roamed along the east coast of Johore sometimes 1880's to 1940's... Harimau Tempang... these story paved their ways to the throne of Johore in 1855..

It is said that few buildings and istana, built sometimes 1860's to 1900's... there were claws mark in the wet cement, each of them were uneven footstep of the tigers, or .. 3 legged creatures 

For few of us that has opportunity to inspect the throne room... they'll find out that these throne was designed with 4 tiger legs grabbing the globe... if they looks closely.. one of these tiger legs was deformed.... purposely made that way, to immortalize the Harimau Tepok history during the nation buildings. 



Now.. Yayasan Warisan Johor and State Government.. get you lazzzzyyyy asssss and change back the emblem before Tepok chew your stinkin' asssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehehehhahahahaahaaa

  6. Tengkis/Dengkes/Tepok/ Harimau Putih Tempang....ini kan hikayat penjaga rimba, kan makhluk kategori siluman macan. Hengat manusia Johor jer ker kenal Jin rupa Harimau. Konon riwayat dari titis berahi Ali pd Fatimah jadi harimau, Fatimah Pukul lalu tempang. Dia ni kat mana mana hutan ada laaa...kalau dah Soltan sendiri syok membedil rimau, kemendenya? oh dah seropa rimau ke...cheh....karut la artikel kau ni tak berasas. Take that for gud!

    2. where r u come from bro? sultan johor menjaga rakyatnya dengan baik, sebab tu dia pernah "mencemar duli" yang orang pernah kutuk-kutuk dia. pada mata kasarnya dia mencemar duli. but look with ur heart dude. dia bukan saja2 tpi dia tolong rakyat dia. dia masuk ke kampung-kampung untuk bantu rakyat dia yang dalam kesusahan. aku akuinya sendiri sebab satu ketika dulu memang johor lebih maju dari kuala lumpuur. sultan lain ada buat? tiada niat nak memburukkan, cuma aku nak kau buka mata dan minda kau. aku anak johor dan aku bangga dengan sejarah dan negeri aku. u are son/daughter of bitch

  15. As salam..tuan puan silalah kita kembali kpd Allah SWT. Kebanggaan kita kpd sesuatu di dunia ini hanyalah perhiasan semata mata. Dan, akhirat jualah yg nan abadi. And on top of that...jgn lah kita memaki hamun dgn kata2 yg kotor. Kita aakan dipertanggungbjawabkan ke atas setiap tutur kata serta perbuatan kita. Saya juga bangga dan bertuah dilahir di negeri DENGKIS DAN TEPOK. ALLAH HUAKBAR...DAULAT TUANKU
