Taming Sari Tower


Assalamualaikum. This gonna be something that I rarely do since some research need to be done. But that's fine as long as there are something to write, right?

History
Taming Sari is a name of Keris. It was like a sword but in a smaller form. The size usually like a knife we always used in the kitchen like cutting chicken whatsoever, used by Malay warrior as a weapon. I believed it was pretty dangerous compared to sword because of the small in size. The Keris was a very special as it was made from 21 different types of metal, wooden sheath and covered with gold leaf. That Keris was made by Taming Sari, a warrior champion from Majapahit. To be short, a Malaccan legendary Malay warrior, Hang Tuah eventually won a fight and King of Majapahit presented the weapon to the victor. Taming Sari Keris was said to have mystical powers. The climax of the story was, Hang Jebat, a good friend of Hang Tuah had that Keris in his hand. He wanted to have revenge of the death of Hang Tuah. But later on, Hang Tuah wasn't dead after all. They were battling, Hang Tuah wanted to have the Keris back but Hang Jebat was in his unconscious mind and they were fought until Hang Jebat was killed. Hang Tuah was regretted of his action and vowed to never show himself again. Until now, no one knows where he went and the whereabouts of Taming Sari Keris never be found anywhere.

The Tower
A height of 80 metres, a ride around the tower offers a spectacular and panoramic view of Malacca heritage city with interesting sights of St. Paul's Hill, Independence Memorial Building, Samudra Museum (ship), Flor De La Mar, Dataran pahlawan, Pulau Selat Mosque, Pulau Besar and the Straits of Malacca. It was no adventurous ride, so please have no doubt to take your little kids to enjoys the great view of Malacca!
