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.
