    Nature is always the best teacher to mankind. The East Coast of Malay Peninsula is rich with its natural habitat of flora and fauna. The strategic location with a long coastal line facing the South China Sea contributes the best fishing area for the population. There were several Malay kingdoms established in the East Coast area such as the Terengganu Sultanate, Kelantan Sultanate and Patani Sultanate. These kingdoms managed to produce fine artistic works throughout the centuries especially on wood carving, metalwork and textile. The population made nature their home and incorporated the environment around them into their daily life activities as source of materials and decorative inspirations. This paper will study the relationship between nature and the population of the East Coast area in producing their works of art.

    The Sultan of Perak was the heir of Sultan of Malacca after Perak State was ruled by Sultan Muzaffar who was the son of Sultan Mahmud Shah. The administration of Sultan of Perak grew along Sungai Perak and this can be seen from the tombs located along the Perak River basin from the Lower Perak River to Kuala Kangsar. Due to modernization and environmental changes, most of the graveyards are located at remote places and are difficult to access. This study was conducted to solve the problem of looking for the graveyards’ location by using ICT applications. This paper also discusses the application and procedure for mapping of the point of the graveyards’ coordinates for the tomb sites which were visited during the conduct of this study. The findings of this study will help the heirs of the Sultanate of Perak, the local authorities and the public to find and access the late Sultans of Perak’s graveyards easily and systematically
