Mount Ledang

 ( Ophir ) 

The conditions were:

* A bridge of gold for her to walk to Malacca from the mountain,

* A bridge of silver for her to return from Malacca to the mountain,

* Seven large clay jars of virgin's tears,

* Seven large clay jars of betel nut juice,

* Seven trays filled with hearts of fleas,

* Seven trays filled with hearts of mosquitoes, and

* A bowl of the blood of the Sultan's young son.

Some versions of the legend say that the Sultan was not able to fulfill any of these requests, while others say that he was able to fulfill the first six requests (thus causing the ruin of the Malacca Sultanate) but could not fulfill the final request which would have required him to kill his son.

Yet another version says that the Sultan approached his sons sleeping body and as he drew close with a dagger in hand the image of the Princess appeared before the Sultan and said to him that she could not possibly marry a man willing to wound his own son before vanishing, never to be seen again.

The point of the story is that the Sultan was either too proud or too blind to realise that the conditions were the Puteri's way of turning his proposal down.

Folklore has it that the gold and silver supposedly found on the mountain are attributed to; and a testament to this story. Hang Tuah and his companions were also learning their silat martial arts here on the top of this very mountain with a silat guru, Adiputera.

However high is the trunk of the Areca catechu-nut tree,
Higher is the smoke of fire.
However high is Mount Ledang,
Higher are the hopes of the heart.
