Hang JebatHang Jebat was the closest companion of legendary Malay hero Hang Tuah. He was well known for his revengeful act against a Malacca Sultan after Hang Tuah was sentenced to death. After the conviction against Hang Tuah, he was conferred by Malacca Sultan with "Taming Sari", a sacred kris formerly used by Hang Tuah. Using this kris, Hang Jebat was invincible and there was no one in the entire Malacca Empire able to killed him. Hang Jebat's revenge had forced Malacca Sultan to abandon his palace. After learning that Hang Tuah was still alive, The Sultan had given amnesty and ordered him to kill Hang Jebat. Being a blindly loyal to the Sultan, Hang Tuah eventually managed to reclaim the Taming Sari by cheating and killed Hang Jebat. His famous quote was "Raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim raja disanggah" which literally means "A fair king is a king to obey, a cruel king is a king to fight against". A Royal Malaysian Navy Lekiu class frigate is named after him: KD Jebat
