MORE ON HANG TUAH, THE MALAY DRAGON

Frankly I have not read the Malay Annals in full. Just found out that Tun Biajid was a son of Hang Tuah according to one writer, Ibrahim Mahmud (1966). If that is so, HT got married to whom? More importantly, in all likelihood he begotted descendents and hence his blood is around!

Many historians/writers have written about Hang Tuah and the Malays Annals otherwise known as Sulalatus Salatin or Sejarah Melayu.
