The Legend of Malin Kundang

A long time ago, in a village near the beach of West Sumatra, lived a woman and her son, Malin Kundang. His father had passed away when he was a baby and his mother had worked hard to raise him. Malin Kundang grew to be healthy, diligent, and strong. He spent his days at the sea and learnt the martial arts.

One day, Malin Kundang saw a merchant's ship being raided by a small band of pirates.. He helped the crew to fight the pirates. With his martial arts skills and strength, Malin Kundang defeated the pirate leader. When asked to join his crew, Malin Kundang accepted and sailed away in the big ship. That night his mother was worried because he did not come home. She asked his friends but no one knew except, "He said he was going to the beach." In his absence, his mother continued praying for his safe return.

Many years later, through hard work, Malin Kundang became a wealthy merchant with a beautiful wife. He led his own ship and crew. One dav, his ship landed on the beach of West Sumatra. Some villagers who saw him speculated and spread the news that someone who looked like Malin Kundang was at the harbor. Hearing the news, the old woman, weak after years of hard work and loneliness, made her way to the harbor in her ragedy clothes. She wished to be with her beloved son again.

Getting closer to the ship, through the flock of villagers, the old woman recognized her son, Malin Kundang, who was ordering his crew to unload their merchandlse. Beaming with happiness, she asked to see him. Since his wife and crew only knew him as a rich merchant, Malin Kundang rejected her request saying he was busy. She asked again and he refused. She then called out to him, "Malin Kundang, My Son. I just want to hug you before I die." With the eyes of the villagers, the crew and his wife on him, Malin refused because he felt embarrassed. Distraught and finally realizing her son's wickedness, Malin Kundang's mother gave up on her son's acknowledging her and prayed to her god to punish her son for his behavior. The day after his mother's prayer, Malin Kundang sailed out of the village. Shortly thereafter, the ship was met by a violent storm. The ship was drowned. Malin Kundang was thrown. It was too late for him to avoid the punishment or curse. Finally he turned into a stone.​
