Most folklore of Malaysia is still in the form of oral tradition, the transmission of such stories over the generations has relied on storytellers who have the freedom to add to and subtract from the original stories. This being the case, stories of the life of early settlers in the old days. The author of this book sees value in such stories with the belief that myths and legends came into being from events that occurred in real life.
