Awesome bridge?

This story remains as popular story for villagers in the village of Sg. Lampu Besut, Terengganu. At this village, there is a bridge that connects the road to the city, such as the bridge linking the road to Jerteh and Kota Bharu. The bridge is used by the villagers to the city Sg.Lampu. However, there is a story behind this bridge that connects the path to the city. Believe it or not if we say that the bridge is haunted and haunting. Many villagers admit where they themselves had experiences experiencing strange occurrences during through over the bridge, particularly during night.

The strange and weird incidents that have been experienced by a few of the villagers are they had ever seen the big snake current through the bridge. In addition, they admitted that they have heard a very loud boom but are not sure what the sound is. Sometimes, they also smell very fragrant smell, particularly pass through the bridge during at night.

The haunted bridge at Sg.Lampu, Besut Terengganu. 

Until now, most of the villagers still do not dare to go through the bridge alone, especially at night. They advised if they wish to use or pass through the bridge, to be friends.

Okay, that’s all from now. Last but not least, do not let your life shrouded by mystery.

THE ORIGIN OF MAZIAH PALACE IN KUALA TERENGGANU

Hello…okay, in this field we are going to touch about the ORIGIN of Maziah palace that everybody knows that this palace is located nearby Bukit Puteri of palace, approximately 220 meters from the river water of Kuala Terengganu. Mostly inside this palace, usually it was held formal ceremony countries in this country. But actually we are not focussing into that kind of history. Well, normally it is going to be fun and exciting if we insert any element of mystic and supernatural in the story as well.

Thus, we found that there have mystic stories about the origin of Maziah palace after this palace was moved to Kuala Terengganu. Actually, the actual and origin of Maziah palace was located at Kampung Raja, Besut Terengganu. Then, after that, it was moved to Kuala Terengganu. Why this village was called as Kampung Raja? It is because this village at that time was the first village that a king came to live in that village and that king lived at temporary palace. Then, that king and together with palace moved to Kuala Terengganu and lived at new palace there.  That’s why this village was called as Kampung Raja until now.

......................................BEGIN TO MYSTIC STORY...........................................

There were many mysterious and mystic occurrences happened after the palace was being left just like that. According to the villagers of Kampung Raja, there was a “waiter” stay at that old palace.  It was like had someone else who stayed inside the old palace but in fact it was nobody inside the palace. In addition, most of them (villagers) always see a yellow cloth flew over surrounding of that old palace during evening. It so mystery right?  Below pictures shown the old palace that was being left a long time ago and trusted by the villagers there is waiter in the old palace.

Old palace that was being left a long time ago and trusted by the villagers there is waiter in the old palace.

However, there are some areas of the palace has now been turned into a center of wood carving in the wood carving that is where the activities underway at the center.

Center of wood carving was originally as areas of Maziah palace courtyard once upon a time.

Another occurrence happened that was surprised and swizzle towards villagers of Kampung Raja. There a big tree near the old palace but then the tree cannot be cut down by the villagers and also by the JKR (Jabatan Kerja Raya). It is like there has something that prevents the tree from the felled by them. Though being cut down, but the tree did not fall and remain intact as it is now. So weird right? As now, the villagers of Kampung Raja still not dare and afraid to wander around at that haunted area.

Santubong Princess

Do you know Mount Santubong and Mount Sejinjang in Sarawak? If you had cross these names, good because you have good knowledge in your mind. Well, these mounts  have their own stories too. In the past, locals said that two beautiful mythical sisters, Princess Santubong and Princess Sejinjang; from a kingdom called Kayangan.  The princesses were sent to the earth to help villagers in Pasir Kuning and Pasir Putih. Santubong was an expert weaver while Sejinjang was an excellent rice thresher. With those helps, the villages soon became prosperous.

Soon, they met Putera Mahkota Serapi of Matang. The prince fell in love both of them but they refused to be joint-wives (bermadu), then they had quarrel and exchanged blows. Sejinjang swung her thresher, hit Santubong's cheek. As she fell on her back, Princess Santubong threw her weaver to the Sejinjang; hitting directly at the head. The great Kayangan King cursed both sisters into mountains. Legends said that Mount Santubong resembles a woman lying on her back. The deep crevice at the peak is where the Princess Santubong received the blow to the cheek from her sister's thresher. 

Basically, we never know this legend because it happened ancient times ago but as usual, we can listen to it but depends on our own thinking to believe it or not.

Ulek mayang ku ulek
Ulek dengan jala jemala
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan jala jemala
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya dua
Puteri dua berbaju serong
Puteri dua bersanggol sendeng
Puteri dua bersubang gading
Puteri dua berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya empat
Puteri empat berbaju serong
Puteri empat bersanggol sendeng
Puteri empat bersubang gading
Puteri empat berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya enam
Puteri enam berbaju serong
Puteri enam bersanggol sendeng
Puteri enam bersubang gading
Puteri enam berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya tujuh
Puteri tujuh berbaju serong
Puteri tujuh bersanggol sendeng
Puteri tujuh bersubang gading
Puteri tujuh berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Tuan puteri berbaju serong
Tuan puteri bersanggol sendeng
Tuan puteri bersubang gading
Tuan puteri berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Ku tahu asal usul mu
Yang laut balik ke laut
Yang darat balik ke darat
Nasi berwarna hamba sembahkan
Umbok mayang ku umbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Pulih mayang ku pulih
Pulih balik sedia kala
