Legacy
Hang Tuah remains popular in Malaysia, embodying the values of allegiance and loyalty. The legend of the tragic friendship between Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat represents the conflict between loyalty and justice.[citation needed]Hang Tuah is associated with the saying, "Takkan Melayu hilang di dunia, selagi berpegang teguh kepada Agama Islam," meaning, "Never shall Malays vanish from the earth, as long as they adhere to the religion of Islam". The saying is a rallying cry for Malay nationalism.[13][14] However, the source of the saying is not clear.
Hang Tuah has been the subject of an urban legend claiming that he was of Chinese descent.[15][16][17]
In 2012, Khoo Kay Kim, a historian from the University of Malaya claimed that there was no historical evidence for Hang Tuah's existence.[18]
