In Popular Culture
KRU Studios has completed the production of its feature film entitled "Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa", which is also internationally retitled as "The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines" even though the history states that Merong Mahawangsa is of Indian lineage. This epic action adventure, directed by Yusry A. Halim, is loosely based on the myth of its namesake.
KD Mahawangsa is a Royal Malaysian Navy vessel named in the ancient monarch's honor.
