Si Bongkok bin Damak of Tanjung Puteri, Johor darul Takzim, Malaysia
A man of small stature, a hunchback and a deformed young man who had a heart of a lion. A legend to some, a forgotten myth to others.
According to the British colonialist armada, he was a big-time pirate who poses a great threat to their sinister plan to take over Tanjung Puteri which is now known as Johor Bahru.
He was a hero a country needs, but still, he died without letting the world know where he was during with his last dying breath. Some say he died at the beach of Tanjung Belungkur with thousand of battlewounds.
An unsung hero to the locals yet a terrorist and a pirate the British might say. Well I say he was a bad-ass civilian who loved his country so much and clawed himself up to be one of the few who fought for this great nation.
