Hang Jebat
Hang Jebat ( Jawi: هڠ جيبت) was 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 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 (sou ...

People From Malacca
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Frigate
A frigate () is a type of warship. In different eras, the roles and capabilities of ships classified as frigates have varied somewhat. The name frigate in the 17th to early 18th centuries was given to any full-rigged ship built for speed and maneuverability, intended to be used in scouting, escort and patrol roles. The term was applied loosely to ships varying greatly in design. In the second quarter of the 18th century, the 'true frigate' was developed in France. This type of vessel was characterised by possessing only one armed deck, with an unarmed deck below it used for berthing the crew. Late in the 19th century (British and French prototypes were constructed in 1858), armoured frigates were developed as powerful ironclad warships, the term frigate was used because of their single gun deck. Later developments in ironclad ships rendered the frigate designation obsolete and the term fell out of favour. During the Second World War the name 'frigate' was reintroduced to des ...

Lekiu-class Frigate
The ''Lekiu''-class frigates are a class of frigates of the Royal Malaysian Navy. They are the largest and most modern surface combatants of the Royal Malaysian Navy, until the ''Maharaja Lela''-class frigates are completed. The class comprises two vessels, and KD ''Lekiu''. The class is named after the second ship of the class which was launched before ''Jebat''. The two ships of the class are named after Hang Lekiu and Hang Jebat, two figures from the Malay 15th-century epic narrative ''Hikayat Hang Tuah''. They share this characteristic with the two s, KD ''Kasturi'' and KD ''Lekir'', as well as the old frigate-turned-training ship , all of which are named after figures from the epic as well. Development The ships were built in the United Kingdom by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Glasgow (now BAE Systems Surface Ships) from the company's standard F2000 frigate design. ''Lekiu'' was launched in December 1994 while the ''Jebat'' was launched in May 1995. ''Jebat'' carries the lo ...

KD Jebat (FFG29)
KD ''Jebat'' is a guided missile frigate currently serving in the Royal Malaysian Navy and one of the major naval assets for Malaysia. ''Jebat'' serves in the 23rd Frigate Squadron of the Royal Malaysian Navy. Development The ship's class, built by Yarrow Shipbuilders (now BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions) in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is based on the F2000 frigate design. ''Jebat'' was launched in May 1995 and commissioned in May 1999. ''Jebat'' carries the lower pennant number (FFG29) to signify the seniority of this ship, which accommodates the Admiral of the Royal Malaysian Navy. (Hang Jebat succeeded Hang Tuah as '' Laksamana'' (Admiral) of the Malacca Sultanate, while Hang Lekiu was never made a ''Laksamana''.) The ship was a huge jump in capability compared to the frigates then operated by the Royal Malaysian Navy, KD ''Rahmat'' (F24) and KD ''Hang Tuah'' (F76) (ex-HMS ''Mermaid''). Nevertheless, the delivery and operational status of ''Jebat'' were delayed due ...
