via The Star, 18 November 2020: 200-year-old tombstones from the Qing dynasty were found in Pahang.
NEARLY a dozen Chinese tombstones dating back to the Qing dynasty were unearthed just outside the old house belonging to former Pahang mentri besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Jusoh in Pekan Lama recently, Sin Chew Daily reported.
One of the tombstones found is over 200 years old and thought to belong to one of the founders of a Tua Pek Kong temple nearby.
The 10 tombstones were discovered when live-in gardeners Razali, 55, and Noor Haslinda, 47, were cutting grass on Saturday.
Measuring 60cm x 30cm, the tombstones were laid down flat in a straight line and buried under a layer of soil.
