Our own anti-colonial heroes

UTUSAN Melayu of Aug 21 reported that on Sept 9, we will be bringing home to Perak the remains of two of the main players in the anti-British Perak War of 1876 – the Mentri Larut, Ngah Ibrahim, and Laksamana Mohamad Amin, a distant great uncle of mine. The report stated that they were sentenced to death by the British and hung in Singapore. 

If I recall correctly, those who were hanged were Seputum and Si Gondah in Bandar Bahru (Bandor, Lower Perak), which the executed British Resident, James Wheeler Birch, had made his headquarters.
