106 GRAVEYARDS OF THE SULTANS OF PERAK. 



the Raja Muda. Ten months after his installation, at 2 a.m. 

 on Thursday, the 2/th, July, L887, Sultan Yusuf expired at his 

 Astana at Saiong. 



His grave is in the Government Burial Reserve. His 

 Highness Sultan Idris informed me that he wishes to remove 

 this grave to the burial ground at Bukit Chandan, as the pre- 

 sent situation is annually under flood, and there he wishes, at 

 his own expense, to erect a suitable monument over the grave. 



Paduka Sri Sultan Sir Idris Mersid-el-Aazam Shah, g.c.m a 

 son of the late Bendahara Tskandar Shab, and grandson of the 

 late Raja Kechil Tengah Ahmad, and great grandson of the 

 late Sultan Abdul Malek Mansur Shah (see para 19). 



His Highness first became the Sultan during the Muham- 

 madan year 1305 (1888). His Highness has twice visited 

 England, once before his installation and again when invited 

 to attend the King's Coronation in 1903. 



The prayers of all his subjects are that Almighty God may 

 grant him long life, prosperity and good health to sit upon the 

 throne of the State of Perak Der-el-Rithuan.
