Batang Padang: Asal Usul dan Sejarah Pusat Pentadbiran
Batang Padang, sebuah daerah yang terletak di tenggara Negeri Perak, meliputi kawasan seluas 1,794 kilometer persegi. Batang Padang terletak 116km ke arah selatan dari Ipoh dan 94km ke arah barat dari Teluk Intan. Daerah ini, yang merupakan sebahagian daripada Negeri Perak, meliputi kawasan seperti Tapah, Kampar, Bidor, Mambang Diawan, dan lain-lain. Pusat pentadbiran daerah ini terletak di bandar Tapah, yang terbahagi kepada dua bahagian: Pekan Tapah dan Tapah Road.
Pusat pentadbiran daerah Batang Padang terletak di pekan Tapah, yang merupakan nadi kepada aktiviti pentadbiran dan perniagaan di kawasan ini. Daerah Batang Padang, dengan sejarah dan tradisi yang kaya, terus berkembang sebagai pusat komuniti yang penting, berkhidmat kepada penduduk setempat dan pengunjung dengan layanan yang mesra serta kemudahan yang semakin baik. Sungai Batang Padang merentasi pekan Tapah dan bersebelahan dengan Masjid Tapah, di mana 'batang' bermaksud 'sungai'.
Nama "Batang Padang" dipercayai berasal daripada cerita sebatang pokok yang merentang sebuah padang. Menurut kisah yang diperkatakan, terdapat sebuah kawasan yang luas kira-kira 5 ekar yang terletak 7 batu hulu Sungai Batang Padang, di mana sebatang pokok merbau yang dianggap keramat tumbuh. Dikatakan bahawa seorang budak telah terkena penyakit gatal setelah menakik pokok tersebut, sehingga menyebabkan kematiannya. Malang menimpa pemuda yang menakik pokok itu juga, dan sebagai langkah pencegahan, penduduk kampung telah memagar pokok tersebut. Mereka pada waktu itu percaya kepada tahyul dan menganggap pokok itu sebagai keramat. Tidak lama selepas itu, pokok tersebut tumbang dan merentangi sungai yang berdekatan.
Cerita lain yang menyokong asal usul nama ini ialah tentang Sungai Batang Padang yang sering membawa batang pokok ke daratan ketika air naik atau banjir. Apabila air surut, pelbagai batang pokok terdampar di atas daratan.
Bagi masyarakat orang asli, nama Batang Padang membawa maksud kawasan lapang atau tanah yang gondol tanpa pokok. Mereka mengaitkan nama ini dengan kisah seekor beruk yang telah dihidupkan kembali oleh seorang penduduk kampung ribuan tahun lalu. Akibat kemarahan dari Penjaga Alam terhadap kejadian tersebut, hukuman telah diturunkan dalam bentuk petir, air panas, dan naga untuk menghukum penduduk kampung. Tiga naga yang perkasa turun dari kayangan untuk menyekat aliran sungai. Apabila air yang disekat itu melonjak tinggi, ketiga-tiga naga tersebut melepaskan air sungai secara serentak, menyebabkan banjir besar yang merencah kampung dan memusnahkan segala yang berada di laluannya. Kejadian itu menjadikan keadaan kampung seperti 'padang jarak padang tekukur'.
Tanjong Malim adalah merupakan sebuah pekan yang terletak di selatan negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan. Pekan ini bersempadan dengan negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan dan bersempadan topografi dengan negeri Pahang Darul Makmur. Dengan berlatar belakangkan Banjaran Titiwangsa dan kedudukan pekannya di pinggir Sungai Bernam menjadikan pekan Tanjong Malim sebuah pekan pintu masuk ke negeri Perak yang menarik untuk dilawati.
Bandar Tanjong Malim ini bermula daripada sebuah tanjung (kawasan air / tanah yang wujud daripada hakisan sungai) yang sangat luas. Tanjong Malim, asalnya bernama Tanjong Jambu, diterokai dan dibuka oleh sekumpulan enam orang pahlawan Bugis. Kawasan ini diterokai oleh seorang ulama' yang bernama Tuan Haji Mustafa bin Raja Kemala. Sempena dengan kedudukan tanjung yang sangat luas ini, Tuan List (wakil kerajaan Negeri Selat) dan Raja Itam telah menamakan bandar ini dengan nama Tanjong, manakala perkataan Malim (mu'alim) adalah berkaitan dengan penduduk di kawasan Tanjong itu yang sangat rajin beribadat pada ketika itu. Pada masa itu juga Bernam atau Tg. Malim adalah di bawah pemerintahan Selangor. Dato’ Hj. Mustapha dilantik sebagai Penghulu Bernam atau Tg. Malim yang pertama dan Panglima Kanan pula dilantik menjadi assistant Penghulu Bernam. Kalumpang pada masa itu adalah di bawah jajahan Tg. Malim. Di sinilah kaitan Tg. Malim dan Kalumpang pada zaman tersebut.
Apabila sempadan negeri Perak dan Selangor ditetapkan mengikut sungai. Tg. Malim jatuh dalam pemerintahan negeri Perak dan Kalumpang pula berada di bawah pemerintahan Selangor sehingglah kini.
Selain pekan Tanjong Malim terdapat beberapa pekan dan pekan-pekan kecil yang berhampiran dengan Bandar Tanjong Malim dan termasuk di dalam kawasan pentadbiran Majlis Daerah Tanjong Malim. Semua pekan dan pekan kecil ini terletak dalam lingkungan 30 km dari Tanjong Malim. Di antara pekan ini, Slim River pula sebagai pusat bandar pentadbiran di daerah ini oleh kerana Pejabat Daerah dan Tanah terletak di pekan ini. Di samping itu hospital juga ditempatkan di bandar ini. Hospital ini dilengkapi dengan rawatan doktor pakar.
Pada peringkat awalnya, Pejabat Daerah dan Tanah ini berpusat di Tanjong Malim. Tetapi sejak peristiwa pembunuhan Tuan Codner (Pegawai Daerah) oleh komunis di Simpang Empat, Tanjong Malim, pejabat ini telah dipindahkan ke Slim River. Asal nama Slim River bermula daripada sungainya (Sungai Slim) yang sempit. Berdasarkan keadaan sungai yang sempit ini orang Inggeris telah menamakan bandar ini Slim River yang bermaksud sungai sempit di dalam Bahasa Malaysia.
Daerah ini berpotensi tinggi dalam pembangunan pelancongan kerana kewujudan aset sumber semula jadinya, tarikan flora dan fauna dan elemen kebudayaan yang boleh diketengahkan dan dipromosikan sehingga peringkat antarabangsa.
Sejarah Rumah Rehat Di Batang Padang
Bungalow berhenti, yang sering dikaitkan dengan tempat rehat atau pemberhentian bagi para pengembara, mempunyai kepentingan sejarah di daerah Batang Padang, Perak, Malaysia. Bungalow-bungalow ini biasanya dibina pada zaman penjajahan British dan berfungsi sebagai tempat penginapan bagi para pengembara, pegawai, dan peniaga yang melalui kawasan ini.
Dalam konteks daerah Batang Padang, bungalow berhenti mungkin telah ditempatkan secara strategik di sepanjang laluan perjalanan utama atau berhampiran dengan aktiviti ekonomi utama seperti perlombongan timah atau ladang getah, yang menjadi tumpuan di kawasan ini. Tujuan pembinaan bungalow-bungalow ini adalah untuk menyediakan tempat rehat yang selesa bagi para pengembara yang keletihan, membolehkan mereka berehat sebelum meneruskan perjalanan.
Bungalow-bungalow ini bukan hanya sekadar tempat untuk tidur, tetapi juga memainkan peranan sebagai pusat interaksi sosial, di mana para pengembara dapat berkumpul, bertukar cerita, dan membina hubungan.
Terdapat dua rumah rehat yang beroperasi di daerah ini, iaitu di Tapah dan Tanjong Malim, serta Halting Bungalows di Kuala Lipis, Trolak yang mula beroperasi pada tahun 1893.
Rumah Rehat Tanjung Malim.
Sejarah rumah rehat di daerah ini bermula dengan pembinaan rumah rehat di Tanjung Malim, terletak sebuah bangunan kecil yang dicat biru, dikenali sebagai Rumah Rehat (Rest House), yang terletak tidak jauh dari Jalan Besar. Rumah Rehat ini mempunyai sejarah yang panjang dan bermula sejak tahun 1880. Sepanjang bertahun-tahun, bangunan ini telah menjadi tempat penginapan bagi ramai pegawai kerajaan, VIP, dan peniaga yang berkunjung ke kawasan ini.
Selain daripada fungsinya sebagai tempat penginapan, Rumah Rehat Tanjung Malim juga terkenal dengan restoran yang menyajikan hidangan yang disukai ramai, termasuk Mee Hailam yang lazat dan Chicken Chop yang menjadi kegemaran pengunjung. Kedua-dua hidangan ini telah membangkitkan nostalgia dan menarik ramai peminat kuliner untuk mencuba keistimewaan di rumah rehat ini. Namun, kini bangunan tersebut kelihatan telah ditutup, menimbulkan kerisauan di kalangan penduduk tempatan dan peminat sejarah. Harapan agar bangunan bersejarah ini dapat dipelihara dan dikekalkan untuk generasi akan datang adalah satu langkah penting untuk memastikan warisan dan sejarah Tanjung Malim tidak dilupakan.
Rumah Rehat Tanjung Malim bukan sahaja menjadi saksi kepada perjalanan sejarah dan budaya kawasan ini, tetapi juga simbol kepada pengalaman dan kenangan yang indah bagi mereka yang pernah menginap di sana. Memelihara bangunan ini adalah tanggungjawab bersama untuk menghargai legasi masa lalu dan menceritakan kisahnya kepada mereka yang akan datang.
Pada tahun 1900, Rumah Rehat Tanjung Malim yang pada asalnya merupakan sebuah mahkamah, ditukarkan menjadi rumah rehat dan kemudian menjadi bangunan Sekolah Rendah Inggeris. Namun, setelah pembukaannya yang bersejarah pada 1 Mac 1900, kolej SITC terpaksa ditutup sebentar akibat wabak beri-beri yang melanda.
Rumah Rehat Tapah
Rumah Rehat Tapah terletak di Bukit Baldwin, Jalan Stesen, 35000 Tapah, Perak. Ia merupakan tempat penginapan yang popular di Tapah, Perak, dan menawarkan pelbagai kemudahan kepada tetamu, termasuk Bilik penginapan yang selesa, Restoran yang menyajikan makanan yang lazat, Dewan untuk acara dan mesyuarat
Rumah Rehat Tapah juga terletak berhampiran dengan beberapa tarikan pelancong popular, seperti Air Terjun Lata Kinjang, Taman Negeri Royal Belum, Ladang Teh Boh Cameron Highlands. Jika anda merancang untuk melawat Tapah, Perak, Rumah Rehat Tapah adalah tempat yang bagus untuk menginap.
Rumah Rehat kecil di Sungkai-Tanjong Balei sekitar tahun 1893, menawarkan penginapan kepada pengembara. Kampung-kampung lain yang terdapat di kawasan ini termasuk Kalumpang, Gemuruh, Mendrong, dan Gumut.
Rumah rehat ini merupakan destinasi popular bagi pegawai-pegawai Perkhidmatan Hutan. Ia adalah tempat yang menyenangkan untuk kembali selepas seharian penat lelah di dalam hutan.
Sungkai, yang terletak di atas bukit berdekatan stesen kereta api, terdapat sebuah rumah rehat yang memerlukan perhatian. Infrastruktur jalan raya di Sungkai belum sepenuhnya siap, tetapi perkampungan Melayu yang berada di tebing sungai menawarkan pemandangan yang memukau. Rumah rehat Sungkai dikepalai seorang Melayu Melaka yang terkenal dengan masakan kari ayamnya yang enak.
Pada tahun 1951, Rumah Rehat Sungkai merupakan destinasi popular bagi pegawai kerajaan, pelombong, dan pedagang yang berkunjung ke daerah Batang Padang di Perak. Ia terletak di persekitaran yang menyenangkan dikelilingi oleh pokok durian dan buah-buahan lain, kira-kira 20 ela dari jalan utama dan berdekatan dengan sungai. Rumah rehat ini mempunyai lima bilik tidur, ruang makan, dan beranda yang panjang. Ia sering digunakan oleh pegawai kerajaan yang bertugas dan kadang-kadang oleh pelombong atau pedagang yang mempunyai urusan di daerah tersebut.
Seorang lelaki Hylam adalah penyewa tempat itu, dan dia akan menyambut pengembara yang kesepian dengan senyuman yang lembut dan seperti kanak-kanak, dua orang pembantunya, "budak" dan "tukang air," sedia membantu mengambil bagasi dan menyediakan bilik. Lelaki tua itu boleh menghidangkan makanan dalam masa yang singkat, dan jika dia mempunyai lebih ramai pengunjung daripada yang dia mampu layani, dia akan menambah bekalannya dengan mendapatkan bantuan daripada hotel Hylam tempatan, yang saya percaya, dia adalah pemegang sahamnya.
Menu Rumah Rehat
Rumah rehat ini menawarkan pelbagai hidangan, termasuk tiffin (hidangan tengah hari yang ringan) dan sarapan pagi. Menu tiffin hampir sama dengan menu biasa, kecuali kadang-kadang terdapat stik kerbau atau potongan daging babi, yang dipanggil "babi beefsteak" oleh penjaga rumah rehat. Sarapan pagi terdiri daripada bubur, sepotong ikan goreng, roti bakar, marmalade, dan buah-buahan. Telur jarang didapati, walaupun lelaki tua Hylam yang menguruskan rumah rehat itu memelihara banyak ayam. Alasannya ialah ayam betina hanya bertelur apabila mereka mahu.
Buku-Buku di Rumah Rehat
Terdapat dua buah buku di rumah rehat: Buku Pelawat dan Buku Catatan. Buku-buku ini diperiksa sebulan sekali oleh Pengerusi Lembaga Kebersihan (Pegawai Daerah), yang bertanggungjawab untuk penyelenggaraan rumah rehat di daerah tersebut. Buku Catatan kadangkala mengandungi usaha-usaha jenaka, seperti ini: "Kata ayam jantan putih kecil kepada ayam betina putih kecil, 'Kamu belum bertelur sejak entah bila, begitu juga penjaga rumah rehat ini.'"
Rumah rehat ini akhirnya dirobohkan pada tahun 1980-an, tetapi ia tetap menjadi kenangan manis bagi ramai yang pernah mengenali tempat ini.
Seterusnya, pada tahun 1908, Tapah dikenali dengan keindahannya dan memiliki rumah rehat kecil yang menarik dengan pemandangan yang menawan. Pada tahun yang sama, rumah rehat di Tanjong Malim dinobatkan sebagai yang terbaik pernah dialami oleh pengunjung kerana perkhidmatan yang cemerlang.
Rumah Rehat Bidor
Rumah rehat lama Bidor, kira-kira lima batu dari Tapah, adalah satu lagi struktur kayu dan atap kecil, berdekatan dengan jalan utama, dan di Sungai Bidor. Ketika penulis ditempatkan di Telok Anson di Perak Hilir, beliau kadangkala menginap di Bidor, mengembara ke Sungai Perak dengan bot pelancar Jabatan Hutan, memasuki Sungai Bidor, dan berlabuh di jeti kecil berhampiran rumah rehat. Beliau boleh sahaja pergi melalui jalan darat, tetapi lebih memilih perjalanan sungai.
Beliau menikmati menembak buaya di sepanjang perjalanan. Rumah rehat itu berhampiran dengan sebuah kampung, dan penulis sering menikmati makan malam kari bersama "ketua kampung" dan menyertai perbualan di kedai kopi kampung selepas itu.
Rumah Rehat Chenderiang
Chenderiang, sebuah lagi pekan yang tidak jauh dari Tapah, juga mempunyai sebuah rumah rehat kecil yang kebanyakannya digunakan oleh pegawai Kerajaan. Ini juga dipajak kepada seorang lelaki Hylam yang menguruskannya dengan cara yang sama seperti rumah rehat Sungkai dan Bidor.
Penulis kebetulan menginap di sana pada malam ketika pekan itu diserang oleh perompak, yang merompak beberapa kedai dan menembak beberapa orang. Ini berlaku pada tahun 1918, dan kawasan Chenderiang pada masa itu merupakan markas sebuah kumpulan Cina, yang tinggal di banjaran bukit Chenderiang dan Kampar, dan beroperasi
Halting Bungalow di Hutan Simpan Trolak
Menjelang tahun 1931, Banglo Halting Bungalow di Hutan Simpan Trolak memberikan pengalaman unik, di mana tukang masaknya harus menggunakan kereta lembu untuk membeli barangan keperluan dari Sungkai. Ketika itu, perkhidmatan pengangkutan seperti gharies atau rickshaw masih belum wujud, menjadikan perjalanan terkadang lebih cepat dilakukan dengan berjalan kaki.
