kota mahsuri,kuala kedah

The best-known folk tale of Langkawi is about Mahsuri. Mahsuri was a pretty lady who cursed the island when she was wrongly accused of adultery some 200 years ago.

Mahsuri was married to Wan Darus, son of the Chief of Langkawi. While her husband went away to fight against the invading Siamese army, a travelling male musician called Deraman came along. Mahsuri and Deraman became good friends, causing her mother-in-law to accuse her of having an affair with the musician. The villagers speculated too.When her father-in-law, Dato Karma Jaya heard about the rumor from the villagers, he was furious and ordered her to be sentenced to death. Despite her protests of innocence, Mahsuri was executed.

However, the swords and machetes used by the executors could not injure her. This is believed to be a proof of her innocence. They kept trying but to no avail. Mahsuri then told them to use a special sword kept in her house so that she could be executed. White blood was seen gushing out of her wound during the execution, as further proof of her innocence.

Mahsuri uttered her curse on Langkawi just before she died
