This is one of Malaysia's folklore, the Puteri Gunung Ledang or Princess of Mount Ophir. A short chapter told from Tun Mamat's point of view. In short, it is a story of how the Sultan would like to make the Puteri into his Queen and is rejected in a very roundabout way. Disclaimer; I may not follow the lore to the fullest. I do not know if Tun Mamat is that much of a whiny prat. I do not know if Hang Tuah did grow old to become a grouchy old fart. Also, there is many versions of this tale and I have followed the one I heard first.
