Hardship of life (cont.)

      During her living in a cave at Bukit Marak, many of her people came to borrow her kitchen equipment such as plates, bowls, and cooking utensils. Usually the equipment will be used for feast. Sometimes she also invited as a special guest for the feast. The kind hearted princess continuously reminds those borrowers to carefully use the equipment and return them back after use. But, what’s happening is opposite with what she said. Equipment borrowed was not return in a good condition, some have been broken, and sometimes, these people did not return it back. This situation makes Puteri Saadong frustrated and stops lending the equipment towards her people. Her frustration also led her to an action where she asks her commander to throw all the damage equipment at a hole near to her cave where she to live. The thrown items finally had shaped as rocks and the hole was named as Lubuk batu Karang. Puteri Saadong has moved again bringing along her frustration to Gunung Ayam, Kuala Krai district, Kelantan. Acccording to most sources, GunungAyam was the last destination of Puteri Saadong in Kelantan. 

      According to an indigenous people of Kampung Serendah Sekebun Bunga which also an old veteran told a story about his son where in 1970s, his son was a student of Universiti Sains Malaysia Pulau Pinang has brought a group of practical student including himself for a visit at Gunung Ayam. The visit is for the purpose to finish their practical. Upon their arrival, they meet with a barefoot person with shorts which they claim him as the tour guide of the place. The group asks him to give them permission to meet Puteri Saadong but he refused. He said that if someone requested to meet with her, the person will be insane and some tend to forget about their family, and almost everything. The tour guide said that the thing has been happening to him as previously he was accidentally meet with Puteri Saadong. The old veteran also strictly told that to anyone who wants to visit Gunung Ayam should not ask or intend to meet Puteri Saadong as there will surely something bad happen if the person really intended to as there were many previous visitor which intend to see her and they being incoherent besides forget almost everything.
