Puteri Gunung Ledang is Malaysian folklore's most renowned princess Gunung Ledang, Peninsular Malaysia's highest peak, is home to the fairy princesses. To reject Sultan Mansor Shah's proposition, she is said to have imposed impossible duties. 

Captivated by her mystical beauty and power, the sultan sent Hang Tuah and several warriors to relay his proposal. The princess asked that seven demands be fulfilled before she accepts him: a golden walkway from Melaka to Gunung Ledang, a silver walkway from Gunung Ledang to Melaka, seven trays of mosquito hearts, seven trays of the hearts of germs, seven barrels of young betel nut juice, seven barrels of virgin tears and a silver cup with the blood from the Sultan’s son. Not only was the Sultan unable to hurt his son, he drove his kingdom to ruins trying to fulfil the other requests. Puteri Gunung Ledang still lives on the mountain to this day.
