Puteri Walinung Sari
By Nur Fatihah Nathrah Binti Mohd Isa
Puteri Walinong Sari, true name Wanang Seri, is a legendary woman from Pahang or Inderapura who was thought to be incredibly strong in the past. Walinong Sari is not only known for being a gorgeous princess, but she is also a skilled martial artist who can handle spears and swords. Walinong Sari is not like the other Malay queens. She was neither perfect nor humble in character. Walinong Sari's name spread throughout Melaka because of her strange attitude, and the next Sultan of Melaka proposed for Dato Temenggung's son. At the same time, Raja Mambang Segara from Gunung Tahan also kept his feelings for Walinong Sari and had transformed himself into a dove in order to keep an eye on who the great princess was. Raja Mambang Segara then pretended to argue with Walinong Sari, and after making eye contact, they both fell in love. Soon after, Walinong Sari was rumored to have disappeared from the palace in search of his true love in Gunung Tahan.
