Title<\/strong>\uff1a Hang Tuah and Jebat: Double exposure image of national hero in Malaysian film
\nContent<\/strong>: Hang Tuah, narrated as a hero of the Melaka Sultanate era, is widely regarded as a national hero of Malaysia today. Most of the image of Hang Tuah, a hero who was royal to the monarch, was formed in the first half of the 20th century through theater and later penetrated the people through textbooks and other official media. On the other hand, novels, theater, films and criticisms after independence considered Hang Jebat, who rebelled against a brutal and unjust monarch, as a hero. As a result, Malay(sian) society had Hang Tuah-like spirit and Hang Jebat-like spirit towards monarchs and leaders. This 2-in-1 spirit or double exposure image of the national hero is unique to Malaysia, which has had a great impact on the institutions of Malay(sian) society. However, after controversies over the origin of Hang Tuah which continues since mid-2000s, Malay(sian) society is facing a crisis on the image of national hero.<\/p>\n

\nThe two legendary Malay national heroes of Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat have been lurking in the Malay people, and even in the minds of the Malaysian, they have been used from time to time, especially from the famous sentence of Hang Tuah: \u201cNever should the Malays feel lost in the world\u201d which from Hikayat Hang Tuah is to maintain the national significance of dignity, loyalty, wisdom, courage, good fighting skill, and contribution to the ruler. However, the theme of of loyalty and justice that Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat have highlighted in the various materials, from the Sejarah Melayu, Hikayat Hang Tuah, film adaptation of Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Tuah, the materials which in the collection of Southern University College Library and the Malaysian Chinese Literature Centre.
