Three handsome young men seemed to be gliding down the hillside, a strange light shining around them. They were dressed like kings with jewel-studded golden crowns.

“We are princes,” said one of the men. “We are descendants of Alexander the Great, conqueror of Greece, Persia and Egypt. Take us to your ruler.”

Thus begins the history of Malaysia, according to acclaimed author Tunku Halim.
