Non stop rain in Langkawi

Mahsuri had landed a great curse of misfortune towards the people of Langkawi as she muttered her very last breath. The words of misfortune that she manages to utter are as shown below, which is according to the legend.

After that, Mahsuri collapsed with white blood coming out of her open wound as she died at Padang Hangus.

The white blood symbolizes her innocence as Mahsuri is no guilty under the act of committing adultery. Slowly, according to the folk and history, the curse of misfortune unveil itself to the people of Langkawi.

Coincidence or the curse? No matter which one is it, Langkawi got attacked by Siamese and most of the people of Langkawi got killed during the incident. Wan Darus, Mahsuri's husband ran away from Langkawi along with Mahsuri's parents and their children, Wan Hakim or some may call him as Mat Arus after knowing the death of his wife. 

Langkawi also faced other misfortune such as rice fields and granaries were set completely on fire. The proof? It can be found at Padang Matsirat where the burnt rice are still there. Some says that during the curse of misfortune, even the number of buffaloes exceeded the number of people in Langkawi. 

As it says in the picture, this was the place where the burnt rice is located (PADANG MATSIRAT)
