Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat

Last year I wrote about Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat.

The root of the conflicts was an unjust ruler. Hang Tuah, putting loyalty at the highest priority, did not go against his boss. Hang Jebat on the other hand saw justice is more important than anything else. What about the rest of the "Lima Bersaudara" (Brotherhood of Five?). I wonder what Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu had in their mind? Did they take sides? Did they take any actions?

If "Hang Tuah Lima Besaudara" is merely a myth, then the person who invented the myth is a visionary. Two opposing side fought, while the majority (isn't three 'Hang's is more than two?) was silent and perhaps torn apart.

This situation still rings true in many modern day conflicts!

Few and Very Far A Part

Those words aptly describe the updates to this blog. 

It has been more than a year since my last update. And last year, there were only two entries.  I'll try to do better this year. 

Let start with what motivated me to update this blog today:

An OTG adaptor for Android device.

 Initially I bought it so that I could plug my thumb drive to my andriod tablet. Then rumaging through my old stuff, I found an old keyboard for mom's now-faulty android tablet. out of curiousity I plugged it in...

Now I have a nifty little thing that I can use to update this blog. 

Hopefully,with this nifty little thing, there will be more frequent update in this blog!

For Malaysians out there, happy Hari Merdeka ke-59!

Hang Tuah and history.

A few weeks ago some local professors claimed to have proved Hang Tuah is a historical figure, not a myth. If he existed, we could deduce that Hang Jebat also existed.

Hang Jebat often potrayed as traitor. It is just human nature to fight unjust ruler. Just because we are loyal to the ruler, like Hang Tuah, are we willing to kill our justice-seeking brother? Should we remain loyal to an unjust ruler?

They said history will repeat itself. I wonder who are the modern Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat.
