Mat Siam @ Mat Kilau.

TAHUKAH ANDA | Operasi Memburu Datuk Bahaman, Mat Kilau & Tok Gajah berlangsung dari 1895 hingga 1896.

Pegawai Penjajah British dengan restu pihak istana iaitu Hugh Clifford ditugaskan untuk memburu mereka.

Misi bermula dari Pahang merentasi Terengganu, Kelantan hingga ke sempadan Patani.

Berdasarkan catatan penjajah dan Hugh Clifford sendiri, operasi dibantu oleh

1. Dua pegawai Melayu iaitu
– Syed Husin
– Syed Seman

2. R.W.Duff – Superintendent Polis Pahang
– 40 Anggota Dayak dan lapan Anggota Sikh
– Pasukan Bantuan 250 orang Melayu Pahang

3. Dr. A. B. Jesser Coope iaitu Residency Surgeon Pahang bertindak selaku Pegawai Perubatan dalam misi tersebut

4. Dua orang wakil Kerajaan Siam
– Luang Visudh Parihar (Luang Swat)
– Luang Sevasti Borirom

Ekspedisi bermula dari Kuala Tembeling hingga ke Pasir Rawa.di Tanah Merah, Kelantan.

Ia mengambil masa selama 3 bulan dengan belanja sekitar 5,000 ringgit.

Datuk Bahaman, Mat Kilau & Tok Gajah berundur bukanlah kerana takutkan British.

Sebaliknya mereka memilih hidup di tempat baharu dengan nama baharu kerana sedar wujudnya ramai pengkhianat bangsa Melayu yang gemar makan dedak pada masa itu.

Bukan sahaja British yang memburu mereka malah pihak istana turut menghantar orangnya juga.

Mat Kilau telah di’cop’ sebagai penderhaka oleh pihak Istana, British dan kuncu-kuncunya.

Beliau terpaksa mengasingkan dirinya sebelum menetap di Batu 5, Jalan Kuantan-Gambang.

Sejak 1930, Mat Kilau terpaksa menukar namanya beberapa kali dan akhirnya memakai nama Mat Siam.

Pada Disember 1969, Allah menggerakkan hati Mat Kilau untuk menzahirkan dirinya yang sebenar.

Ketika itu beliau memegang kad pengenalan diri K/P 2044778 dengan nama Mohamad Bin Ibrahim.

Bagi mengelakkan publisiti, beliau bersetuju untuk mengumumkan di kampung kelahirannya iaitu di Kampung Masjid, Pulau Tawar.

Pahlawan Melayu ini pergi ke Masjid lama Kampung Tawar, Jerantut untuk bersolat Jumaat pada 26 Disember 1969.

Usai solat, beliau membaca al Quran dan mengisytiharkan dirinya sebagai Mat Kilau.

Pengisytiharan ini menggemparkan orang ramai sehinggalah kerajaan Pahang terpaksa menubuhkan sebuh jawatan kuasa untuk menyiasat.kesahihannya.

Jawatan kuasa ini dibentuk pada 8 Januari 1970 dan pelbagai mekanisma telah dilakukan termasuklah temuramah dengan beberapa individu yang berkaitan.

Pada 6 Ogos 1970, jam 10.30 pagi, Mat Siam diisahkan sebagai Mat Kilau oleh kerajaan negeri.

Mat Kilai meninggal dunia empat hari kemudian pada usia 122 tahun kerana uzur.

Hakikatnya, keturunan tali barut dalam kalangan orang Melayu wujud sampai hari ini.

Mereka bijak bermuka-muka termasuk berkeris dan bertanjak dengan menunggang agama dan bangsa.

Jadi berwaspadalah wahai Melayu.

Remember your face.

Worth reading..🌞

*”I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”*

When Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember that made you a happiest man in life?”

Femi said:
“I have gone through four stages of happiness in life, and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”

The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.

Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realised that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.

Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.

The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchairs for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.

At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.

But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.

There I gave these wheelchairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.

It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.

I felt REAL joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.

I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?

The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
“I want to remember your face, so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”

What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?

Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?

*This is a must read piece. It got me thinking. I am sending it to all my friends. I pray it does same to everyone.*
