also attacked by Siam numerous times, the last invasion taking place in 1821.

Terbakar or "burnt rice". It is only at the end of the 20th century, after
the seven generations have supposedly come to pass, that Langkawi began to prosper as a tourist destination.
The descendants of Mahsuri continue to live in Phuket, Thailand, and have on occasion returned
to Langkawi to visit her tomb.

Nawawi, who came into the spotlight during her visit to Kedah in 2000.
