![]() ![]() Jebat’s sister had just married Bentara Hamzah Datuk Bongkok. The rest of us were myself, Lekir, Lekiu, Hassan, Hussain and Iskandar. He was born in the mid 1430’s. We first met him at a wedding of Jebat’s eldest sister right after the coronation of Raja Kassim (Sultan Muzaffar Shah). He was older than the 7 of us although I suspect Jebat was slightly older than him because his voice broke much earlier than Tuah. Born in Bentan, his family migrated to Sungai Duyung, Melaka when Tuah was still a toddler. He had lived through the reigns of 6 Sultans – Sultan Muhammad Shah, Raja Ibrahim, Sultan Muzaffar Shah, Sultan Mansur Shah, Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah and died during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah. I am pleased to tell the story about this towering Malay who had shaped the history of the Melaka Sultanate and became the source of inspiration to thousands of people. This is the story of a person whom I respect the most. His name was Tuah bin Mahmud. (note : All dates which were once depicted in Hijrah years, had been changed to Gregorian calendar) Translated to Old English for HRH King James I of England in 1616 by Sultan Iskandar Muda of Acheh. Compiled and edited by Abdullah Abdul Kadir in 1819 for the benefit of Sir Stamford Raffles. Related to Tun Sri Lanang through the writings of Laksamana Khoja Hassan. ![]()
