    Hang Jebat 

    (Jawi: ‫ )هڠ جيبت‬was the closest companion of the legendary Malaccan hero Hang
    Tuah. Regarded in Malaysia as one of the greatest silat exponents in history, he is well known for
    his vengeful rebellion against the Malacca Sultan whom he served. He can also be regarded as
    an early Malay anarchist following his rebellion against the ruler.

    Story[edit]
    After Hang Tuah was sentenced to death, Hang Jebat was conferred the coveted Taming
    Sari kris, a weapon formerly used by Hang Tuah. Believing that Hang Tuah was unjustly
    murdered by the sultan he served, Hang Jebat turned against the ruler to avenge his friend's
    death. No one knew that the bendahara (chief minister) went against the royal decree and
    hid Hang Tuah in a remote area.
    With the kris in his possession, Hang Jebat was undefeatable and there was not one person in
    the palace who was capable of killing him. Hang Jebat's revenge allegedly became a palace
    killing spree or furious rebellion against the sultan (sources differ as to what actually occurred). It
    remains consistent, however, that Hang Jebat wreaked havoc onto the royal court, and the sultan
    was unable to stop him, as none of the warriors dared to challenge the more ferocious and
    skilled Hang Jebat.
    After learning from the bendahara that Hang Tuah was still alive, the sultan had him recall the
    warrior and gave him full amnesty. The sultan then ordered Hang Tuah to kill Hang Jebat. Being
    unquestionably loyal to the ruler, Hang Tuah obeyed the sultan's bidding and went on to
    challenge Hang Jebat. After fighting in a battle that lasted for seven days, Hang Tuah eventually
    managed to reclaim the Taming Sari by tricking Hang Jebat. Although stabbed by Tuah, Hang
    Jebat bandaged his wounds and ran amok in the city square for three days, killing thousands of
    people before retreating to Tuah's house and dying in his friend's arms.
    Hang Jebat's famous quote during the fight was "Raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim raja
    disanggah" meaning "A fair king is a king saluted, a tyrant king is a king disputed." This went
    against Tuah's philosophy of loyalty without question.
    After the fight, the sultan ordered his men to tear down, burn and throw the ashes of the house
    into the sea. Two months later, when a lady of the bendahara's retinue, Dang Wangi gave birth
    to Jebat's son, the sultan ordered Hang Tuah to throw the baby into the sea as well. Instead,
    the laksamana entrusted the child, Hang Nadim, to the bendahara. The child was then taken
    to Singapore where he was raised.
