Moyang kami Si Gondah dan mangsanya, JWW Birch
Perasaan ini masih dapat saya katakan surreal apabila diberitahu yang JWW Birch sebenarnya dibunuh oleh salah seorangnya di tangan moyang kami.
Moyang kami, Tok Gondah, played a significant role in the assassination of James Wheeler Woodford Birch on 2 November 1875. Birch, a British Resident in Perak, had been tasked with overseeing the British interests in the region. The incident occurred as he was taking a bath in a river outside his residence at Koh Ah Yong.
The act of assassination was carried out by Gondah and Seputum, with the assistance of other individuals. The motive behind the assassination remains unclear, but it is speculated that Gondah may have been influenced by the decisions made by the British rulers and the Sultan of Perak during that time.
