Puteri Saadong dan Ingatan Budaya Masyarakat Kelantan di Malaysia: Satu Pemerhatian di Tempat Bersejarah

Abstract

In the history of Kelantan, Puteri Saadong plays an essential role to this day. This legendary figure has a close relationship with Bukit Marak hill in Kelantan. This hill is often visited by locals from in and outside Kelantan. Therefore, the research team has explored these historical places to elaborate on their meaning to the community. Puteri Saadong and her story are still important in the different daily lives of the Kelantan community. The research team has described this fact and analyzed the extent to which it influenced the cultural memory of the Kelantanese community. Furthermore, the researchers have followed Jan Assmann and Maurice Halbwachs as the theoretical background used in this study. The research was explorative by nature, and it was detected that many geological formations remind the people of the story of Puteri Saadong.
