LESSONS LEARNED

After the tragedy that happened to mahsuri, the villagers regretted for what they have done. The white blood that flew from Mahsuri’s body shows her innocence. The mistake that the villagers committed bring the bad effects towards Mahsuri and the entire island. Due to the curse that Mahsuri did, Langkawi Island became “padang jarak, padang terkukur” or “wasteland”. People that live in Langkawi was suffered for seven generations due to the tragedy. Based on the Legend of Mahsuri, the lessons that I got are, it is compulsory to do the proper investigation before spread the rumor and sentencing and the jealousy must be removed from our heart because its will bring the bad effects in return. Thank you for lending your time reading all the entries.

THE STORY BEHIND THE MAHSURI'S TOMB

Mahsuri Mausoleum

The public was first introduce to Langkawi by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj, who is the first prime minister of Malaysia. As a young district officer in Kedah, Tunku used to visit Langkawi and had wanted to visit Mahsuri’s grave to pay his respects. However, no one could tell him where it was. So, Tunku made up his mind to find it. He was not one to give up and so persevered until one day, he came across a grave hidden in some undergrowth. He was sure that it was Mahsuri’s although there was no marker indicating that fact or otherwise. Then, he approached a contractor to build a tomb for her.
