The Kedah annals: Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Do you know about Merong Mahawangsa history?

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa or The Kedah Annals is an ancient Malay literature that chronicles the bloodline of Merong Mahawangsa and the foundation of the Kedah, a statein Malaysia . Though there are historical accuracies, there are many incredible assertions. The era covered by the text ranged from the opening of Kedah by Merong Mahawangsa, allegedly a descendant of Alexander the Great of Macedonia till the acceptance of Islam.

Merong Mahawangsa was a Hindu and there were nine Hindu rulers before Phra Ong Mahawangsa converted to Islam in 1136 and took the name Sultan Mudzafar Shah. The annal also describes Chola’s attack on Kedah.The descendants of Phra Ong Mahawangsa is still ruling Kedah able to trace their lineage from Merong Mahawangsa.

This is another an epic film directed by Yusry Abdul Halim. I believe some of you know about Yusri, right? Another creative person in Malaysia and his ex-wife is Erra. To be honest, he is another someone i feel different and unique than many people in my country than Tun Mahathir, Lee Chong Wei, Misbun Sidek, Mokhtar Dahari and other few people.

Ps: Huh, really sleepy. But i’ve to do that. I really need some sleep.
