In 1876, a Malay map of Perak, based on W.E. Maxwell’s notes and sourced from MS 46943 at the Royal Asiatic Society in London, was published in Barbara Andaya’s work, “Perak: The Abode of Grace: A Study of an Eighteenth Century Malay State” (1979). In this map, some words, including place names and court noble titles, have been transliterated by Andaya. The Arabic numerals enclosed in circles serve as the author’s annotations, aiding in the transliteration and translation of Jawi text into Romanized Malay and English. This map may strike readers as unusual, as it lacks common features found in

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction A web map-based cemetery system typically utilizes a GIS (Geographic Information System) to display a map of the cemetery and the location of graves within it. Users can interact with the map to zoom in and out, pan around, and view detailed information about individual graves, such as the name of the deceased, date of birth and death, and other relevant details. Some systems may also include photographs of the graves, and allow users to search for graves by name or other criteria. For cemetery managers, this type of system can be useful for maintaining accurate
