The palm-fringed littoral strip indicates a likely view from the vantage point of the Palm Spring Golf Resort in Port Dickson. A lighthouse, the oldest functioning one, on Cape Rachado (which is Portuguese for Broken Cape), is a little further away in nearby Alor Gajah. It’s a serene panorama, picturesque, but the calm sea belies a notorious whirlpool nearby which is avoided by water vessels. This area dominated by the lighthouse has seen footprints of the Portuguese, Dutch and the British during the colonial days. It is a gazetted wildlife sanctuary, and is replete with stories of treasures. Cape Rachado is now known as Tanjong Tuan. It’s a nostalgic take, with royal touches. The work, a limited-edition lithograph of 80 from a pastel on paper, was painted by Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the 10th Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan. This work was among 22 works done over a span of 30 years and exhibited in a hugely successful charity exhibition, Royal Inspirations, organised by Galeri Tangsi, Kuala Lumpur. Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman served as the 10th Yang di-Pertuan Agong from April 1994 to April 1999. He was also the 10th Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, from 1967 to 2008. A scholar, a statesman and a sportsman, Tuanku Ja’afar learnt the finer points of painting from Dato' Karl Bendlin (1928-2017). He worked first in charcoal, then watercolours and pastel on paper, and his subjects were invariably landscapes and still-life. Tuanku Ja’afar studied Law in Nottingham University, Economics in Balliol College at Oxford, and Political Science and Language at London School of Economics in London.
