We had seen the film of Puteri Gunung Ledang in the
class. The film is about the forbidden romance that blossomed between Gusti
Putri, a Javanese Hindu princess,
and Hang Tuah,
a Malay Muslim
warrior
from Melaka.

Actually, I had heard the story of Hang Tuah and
Hang Jebat since I was in secondary school. When the lecturer asked us about what
do we think about Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat and who of them was the hero, I had
think a lot of this question.

Hang Tuah |
I found that Hang Tuah represented obedience to the
authority while Hang Jebat represented loyalty to his comrade. We cannot decide
whether loyalty or obedience is more important. I think that this is all
depends on our value system. If
we
already choose the thing that
we believe in, we have to trust our
decision.
