 The Princess and Hang Tuah are independently famous figures of Malayan history-mythology, and it is only in this specific story that the two briefly cross paths, though in some versions of the tale it is Tun Mamat, not Tuah, who presents the proposal to the Princess as Tuah was too old and weak to reach the mountain peak.The original concept of the "Puteri Gunung Ledang", as pitched by Mamat Khalid, was to pose the question of what would happen if these two characters had met and fallen in love.In the original story, the Princess is mysterious and magical, hinting that she is supernatural in origin.
