jeram sg toi

Salam... ages before..there were group of clans from Sumatera that sailed to peninsular and finally dwell in N.Sembilan. The last clan migrated was known as Rawa (Temenggung believer) and they settled closed to earlier clans (Perpatih believer). However due to differ believe of custom this Rawa clan doesnt' fit with the earlier group which eventually sparked clashes between them. Rawa were fighting a losing battle and finally withdrew to undulating ground in Jeram sg toi which naturally provides security from Perpatih raids and surprise attacks.
First time i heard this story, i went to Sog Toi to seek some evidences of our ascendants and heritages in that area... that was way back in 1986. What i have found were remote villages inhabited by native people. these natives originally were malays/muslim but eventually changed to animism and paganism... sadly there were no effort to bring them back to Islam... and to make things worst we are from the same root (Rawa). Those days.. i used to dream marrying one of these native girl so that i would be able to tie some knots as well as changing and bringing them back to Islam...but of course after some time..things get busy and those good intent diminised slowly... but perhaps there are still chances to rectify our ignorant.. Young blood (those below 40) should take bold action doing good deeds..myself and Ytc are too old and less energetic to handle 2 homes. Ho..hoy there, i am doing favor for young blood by teeling you these stories...
