What if HANG TUAH was a Chinese?

A random thought on Hang Tuah. Mmmm......

I had an interesting conversation with a friend earlier on the history of our country, its authenticity, myths, legends, truths, and so on and so forth. We spoke about Hang Tuah and Malacca. Well, something just crossed my mind.....

WHAT IF HANG TUAH WAS A CHINESE? Perhaps this would be how it was. Here's a random story of how I think Hang Tuah would be, if he was Chinese.

Once upon a time, there was a warrior by the name of Hang Too Ah. He probably looked like Jackie Chan on the right. LOL. He practiced kungfu, and in fact, he was so good that Sultan Mansur Shah of Malacca made him the laksamana. Hang Too Ah, or better known as Too Ah, practised various types of martial arts - most notably Wing Chun, and he was believed to have also mastered various Japanese martial arts too. =) 

Too Ah was famous for his loyalty to the Sultan, and always accompanied the Sultan to wherever he would go. The ruler of Majapahit gave him a sword called Taming Sari. Hang Too Ah was the oldest of 5 brothers - with the rest being Hang Chee Bat, Hang Kah See Too Lei, Hang Lek Kiu, Hang Lek Kay. It was also rumoured that the one of the Sultan's wife, Hang Li Po is Hang Too Ah's sister. =P 

Hang Too Ah was a very famous warrior, and caused the jealousy of many people, including his own brothers. His own brothers were fighters too, and they too mastered the skills of Wing Chun and were rather good too. However, Too Ah's popularity grew too great for his own good - rumours of Too Ah's affair (see picture on left) with one of the Sultan's stewardess got the Sultan angry, so he sentenced him to death without trial. The Bendahara however, hid Too Ah somewhere outskirts, perhaps it was somewhere at Kuala Lumpur near the Imbi/Pudu area (where the current Jalan Hang Tuah is...). His very own brother, Chee Bat was devastated, thinking Too Ah had died - so Chee Bat rushed into the palace, killing many other guards (they were no match for Chee Bat!). Chee Bat was very powerful, and he got the Sultan running off from the palace.

Chee Bat enjoyed a brief spell as the invincible ruler of the palace - taking all the women and money and beer that he could. The Sultan was worried, and the Bendahara told him that the only man able to stop Chee Bat was Too Ah. 

Too Ah was recalled - and Too Ah was engaged in a massive fight with Chee Bat. While Djokovic took close to 6 hours to beat Nadal in the final of the Australian Open, Too Ah took almost seven days to beat his brother, goes on to show how good his brother was. Too Ah won the fight, and the Sultan's trust in Too Ah was restored.

A few years later, Too Ah was ordered to go kao a princess who sits on top of a mountain. This lady, Princess of Gunung Ledang agreed to marry the Sultan - but only if he satisfies a series of demands... (mmm women!). The list included a golden bridge from Malacca to the top of the mountain and bla bla bla.... long list, a super long list. Too Ah knew it could not be met, so he set himself into exile....

SO... here's that random thought, and a random funny story. 

The above story is PURELY a story only, not meant to mock or provoke anyone or whoever. It is to illustrate how random I can be, and how much I like Jackie Chan in movies. Jet Li too. =P
