An interesting sites for explorer/traveller around Melaka city or people who appreciate Malay historical figure of Hang Jebat(The Traitor). Learn how the Malay dilemma of the Hang Tuah vs Hang Jebat story is one of the most important cultural dilemmas in Malay history, literature, and philosophy. It raises questions about loyalty, justice, power, morality, and identity. Just sit back at this site and thinking about the Hang Jebat ideology when you have time which is: Justice above blind loyalty Defending innocent friend Questioning unjust power People’s rights > ruler Symbolizes rebellion against tyranny. I hope this review help people who want to learn the true Malay history and culture, it is deep and not just a block of old stone mausoleum in the middle of nowhere i guess 😊

β€œMausoleum of a famous warrior during Malacca Sultanate era.... there's also few graves inside the compound....one can easily spot the place while strolling within Jonker street vicinity...”

β€œSizeable plot of land marking Hang Jebat's remains. Nicely done and well maintained. The tragic story of Hang Jebat's demise at the hands of his "brother" Hang Tuah teaches us that "two wrongs don't make necessarily make a right". Just don't forget to close the gate after you.”

β€œThe final resting place of one of the well known Malaccan hero. This could be considered as a mini park due to the size. Its is very peaceful here. There are some unnamed tombs here too. #RP”
