Hang Tuah Five Brothers

Title Posted we have heard or read since childhood. Pegged in mind this is the hero, the hero of the Malay pride for centuries. Tuah story books are thick, while studying in primary schools have also read the first (owned by my aunt, her many old books and ghost stories, Speaking with Jin, Tamar Jalis). Ancient language, it is difficult to understand.

Five Brothers Hang Tuah, the most important words are brothers, at the beginning of the story so dense ties of kinship. Stabbed right thigh, left thigh bleed. But where lost three siblings when Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat conflict? No wish to be persuaded or resolved their quarrel? Or as Hang Tuah has long worked with the ruler, the relationship became estranged because of busy work Admiral?

History has been recorded, we would not hear of any of the Malays who put the name Hang early in children's names. Before (the narrative), we only hear the Hang Tuah alone another five brothers and the famous Hang Nadim.

The process of seeking knowledge is to read. But the longer read, the more I lost faith in the existence of Hang Tuah brothers. Is it just a myth by Tun Sri Lanang? Hang Tuah who became Admiral of the Sultan nor many entries recorded in the world's top sailors. Even Ibn Batutta only stop in Pattani. Why not Malacca, Malacca is a center of trade and the spread of Islam known and famous.

For me, the old literary essays that only reflects the character or nature of the Malays at that time.

Hang Tuah - Malay nature of the characters where very submissive to authority / boss that the executions because the trial was never regretted. Such is the nature of Hang Tuah into compliance. Although sad, Tuah stabbed defending his companions also on the direction of the Sultan. After death, tears of regret. Stupid actions like that. Stupid for condemned man, if it happens nowadays. This period is still there to support this kind. What if the boss to lose power?.

Hang Jebat - characters who are loyal to the friendship. Willing to shed blood if his friend persecuted Sultan / Prime Minister. Shake the earth simply because a friend of Malacca.

Hang the other three - where the character is after a fight with Hang Tuah Hang Jebat? Maybe this is the nature of past and present era Malay, save yourself and take care of themselves. If the opponent, may lose their jobs.

In conclusion, compare the many hundreds of years ago with what is happening now. Sure it is very similar in nature. Every once in 10 years, our country will be shocked with high-level disputes. Same nature, one party against the ruler. One party supports the ruling. And although many third parties, they will each save themselves from getting involved in the conflict.

Ignore their existence, learn from history. Embrace the spirit and nature of Hang Tuah 5 sisters. Compare their properties with the nature of Malay society in this era.

p / s There is also a history of very sadden me to read. Tun Teja fiancee people are ready to run by Hang Tuah merely desires Sultan. But raging prince, Megat Panji Alam Terengganu, was killed by Hang Jebat and Hang Kasturi. Who does not get angry if someone else run his own fiancee.
