"Hang Tuah's outstanding performance as a military officer made him a legend that has graced many a court and the history of Melaka."
A fully decorated admiral of Melaka's naval forces who defended successfully, countless attacks against Melaka's sovereignty from Siamese and Achenese fleets, Hang Tuah's outstanding performance as a military officer made him a legend that has graced many a court and the history of Melaka.
Hang Tuah's bravery was discovered during his adolescence when he single handedly arrested a man who had ran amok in the village called Kampong Duyong. His valiant act caught the Sultan's attention and he was called to the palace and conferred a knighthood, the youngest ever to be knighted.
