CIK SITI WAN KEMBANG

Cik Siti Wan Kembang

Once upon a time, the state of Kelantan was ruled by a
female ruler. Her name was Cik Siti Wan Kembang. Her
family passed away when she was only four years old. At

the age of 30, she became the ruler of Kelantan.

Cik Siti Wan Kembang is legendary figure for her beauty,
courage and wisdom. She made sure the land under her
control was always safe from enemies. She was respected as
a warrior princess. She was brave to enter battles on a
horseback with an army of female horse riders. Though
admired by many for her beauty, she never got married.

Cik Siti Wan Kembang's favourite animal was the deer. She
was presented with a deer which later became a symbol of
the state emblem. At that time, the gold coins were stamped

with the image of a deer too.

According to the legend, Cik Siti Wan Kembang never died
but"disappeared"into the mystical world. This is because no
one has ound her tomb till today. However, she will always
be remembered for being the only female who ruled a state

in our country. Puteri Saadong became the next Ruler of
Kelantan after her disappearance.
