Untold History : Tangga-Tangga Ke Alam Bunian - Masonic jokes or more sinister purposes???

Let me take you to.... alam bunian.

The place of "Istana Bunian" korang dah tau dalam ni :  "Untold History : Istana Bunian Sultan Abu Bakar"

This is one of few things yang aku tulis tak masuk akal. But, it is amusing.. I enjoy it. I've been there, and came back in one piece.

This place is excessible by public, even yang selalu pegi situ pun tak perasan what lies in the other realms.

Korang boleh pegang, touch and feels... boleh hidu, except... x boleh communicate je, nanti made org cakap ko gile.

Located di tengah2 bandar JB, this place macam : orang tua.... Orang tua yang dah lama hidup, been there done that.., ade satu "bau"... klu korng perasan.. bukan bau yang tak menyenangkan, but smells of tragics, survival and fighting spirits, faded by time, thus meninggalkan bau.. then, ko compare dgn bau bayi baru lahir.. dlm 41 hari kelahiran. Bau yang sama.

Sama macam tempat ni, the air, the breezes, the sounds it's makes... like they stucked in time... 180 tahun dulu. And whoever been there, live in that place and died... masih "hidup" and effect the surrounding.

Susah aku nak explain, but.. korang try pegi kubur. Perkuburan baru, dengan perkuburan lama. Feels the air, the smells. Mcm tuu lah.

Aku tunjukkan cara, aku tunjukkan arah... the rest.... ko tanggung sendiri ;)


TANGGA

Let say.. kalau ade satu runtuhan, which people claiming jumpa runtuhan bekas "Istana Johor".. 1st thing aku akan inspect ialah = Tangga..

All this istana, mempunyai satu characteristic yang sama.. iaitu "Tangga".. kalau ade 1 binaan tangga which come out of no where di tengah2 laman.. that is belong to Johore

Mula-mula aku ingat, this is characteristic of the builder, a signature of him.. which most in this cases is Sultan Abu Bakar.. then, lama-lama.. it leads to a sinister findings.. so aku 'keluarkan' character ni dari series "architectural behavior" of Gilded Age Johore.

Yes. Dia yang selalu bina 'Tangga' ni.. not HH Ibrahim and his descendant sampai sekarang..

To what purpose??? aku tak tau.. and sure ramai yang cakap = ofkoss laah for walkways you dumb idiot. So.. aku sure kene tembak balik.. 

BUT.. let us see :

ini salah satu contoh... normally korang AKAN JUMPA 2 anak tangga :

1. Tangga yang ada 1 ade leadway... while..
2. Tangga yang lagi satu.. takde leadway.. TERLETAK SEBELAH MENYEBELAH..

Bukan 1.. tapi banyak...

And.. tangga ni come up out of nowhere.. semacam sengaja diletak disitu...

This is few collection yang aku ambik mase 'technical visit' sorang2.. just to feels the air.. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE.... this kind of tangga scattered anywhere.. 

Some even leading to NOWHERE.. ko ade tangga.. but ended up pergi dinding concrete.. ada tangga ended up pegi directly dekat pagar, pangkat pokok etc... DOESNT makes sense at all.. mcm ni :

This one of the oldest structure in that parks. Victorian ornamental steels. Ada 3 lagi on its sides.

At 1st visit.. aku x boleh digest and keep thinking about it.. then aku datang balik the next day repeat.... starting from that small stairs depan Istana Besar...

Here..

Sebelah tangga ni.. ade lagi satu tangga with leadways.. So.. aku guna tangga yang takde leadways sekitar taman ni.. Semua aku pakai.. 

Its lead me to..

Makin eerie.. 1.00 pm in the afternoon ditengah-tengah bandar rase mcm dekat kubur..

That tangga all those tangga to nowhere.. membawa ko pegi ke sini :

Nampak cantik.. and yess.. aku redah sorang-sorang.. sebab.. kalau ramai-ramai, bunian malu nak jumpe.. hehehee

Aku pergi dengan adik aku before he depart tu US.. dia pergi Museum.. aku pergi merayap kat luar.. sampai laa ke perigi buta ni..

At 1st.. aku aku ingat perigi.. so.. x suspense sangat laah.. BUT then.. aku rase 'perigi' ni adalah KUBUR.. sebab :

Perigi ni tak berlubang.. and.. ade orang tabur bunga atasnye.. fresh flowers.. wangi gile..  walaupun pukul 1 tengahari.. something not right.. 

Ramai believe perigi ni merupakan 'modern' structure.. well.. aku pun suspect mcm tu jugak.. BUT WHEN aku belek2 document aku.. this perigi dah wujud sejak 150 tahun dulu :

Taken in 1930's.. sedikit pun tak berubah.. lepas aku tengok ade bunga tu baru keadaan jadik seram sejuk..

On the way back.. mase aku turn balik.. aku berjaya lah snap satu lagi gambar.. it turn out that "something" greet me at the end of the road ;)

Ignore je ape yang ko nampak :) Heheheeeee.. Hellowww

It doesn't stop me there.. take left.. jumpa lagi satu tangga.. and aku sampai kat kawasan ni :

Ini adalah bekas private garden HH Sultan Abu Bakar.. ini tempat favorite aku.. korang boleh 'rasa' dia punya 'kepurbaan'nye dengan duduk je dekat situ.. feel the air, breezes and the birds singing.  Aku boleh rasa, aku boleh 'bau' that place is alive... at night ;) hehehee 


URBAN LEGEND

There are 3 commanding summit mase Temenggung buka JB, bukit timbalan, bukit iskandar and bukit bintang. And there are reason dia pilih tempat ni, out of 3 commanding summits, bukit bintang yang paling rendah. Most structure there dh wujud sejak JB dibukak.

Either 1 of these 2 :

They are Masonic masters.. munkin this architecture they built to reflect their 'wills to govern'... or munkin 'teka-teki' for later generation.. each of them ada cluenye tersendiri.. we don't know... But 1 thing for sure.. mesti ada 'kegunaannye'..

The other "Urban Legend" ialah..

Someone told me that.. bila Sultan Johor yang baru dilantik.. pada malam coronationnya.. he has to step in ALL these stairs-to-nowhere sampai ke satu tempat on the other realms.. dekat situ di tabalkan lagi sekali by 'others'.. then only he fit to be king mcm HH Abu Bakar and Brassball Ibrahim.  Itu urban legendnye.. x mesti betul..

That is the reason we have plenty of "stairs to nowhere" mcm nih... it was made for entity which not living kind, but the deads... to avoid korang berselisih or terlanggar dorang..

WELL.. aku dah tunjuk jalannye.. And disclose you untold episode hidden in public.

UNFORTUNATELY.. kawasan semua diatas telah ditutup for good.. 2 minggu lepas aku pergi sana...

So.. korang boleh imagine je lah, following my journey to the unknown. Good day.
