Worth a visit

Yesterday I heard of another place with some history in it. Apparently Islam arrived at this place hundreds of years ago, around the time when Melaka was at its glorious peak. An Islamic preacher from Melaka made his way here after falling out with the Melaka Sultan at that time. Not surprising because this place is less than 100km away from Melaka. His grave is to be found here, purported to be the oldest Islamic grave in Malaysia. There's also a few mysterious stones here. Today, no one can quite make what it is or was. The grave plus the stones have been made into the historical site of Pengkalan Kempas, a small town in Negeri Sembilan, about 40km south of Port Dickson.
