The place, though small, holds a strong history and past. These mausoleums were built in the name of two of the strongest warriors: Hang Jebat and Hang Kasturi. Their duty was to provide protection to the king as they had specialised in the art of Silat, a Malay martial art.
Hang Jebat was a close friend of the legendary Hang Tuah and had tried to protect him. They were a group of five strongest warriors. The grave of Hang Jebat was constructed in a Chinese style and represents the kind of grave only high officials or ministers used to have.
Hang Kasturi was among the five sworn-in brothers and was killed by Hang Tuah after a misunderstanding. His grave’s architecture is influenced by the art and culture of India. The story of these men is inscribed here for the tourists to read.
These places are a resting ground of the great warriors, so peace and respect should be maintained.
