Badang, a Malay legendary folk hero, was renowned for his mighty physical strength. There are variations to this legend but most of them have their setting in ancient Singapore. The stone featured in the legend is fabled to be the ancient stone slab found at the mouth of Singapore River. A fragment of the rock, called the Singapore Stone, is on display at the Singapore History Museum. The original huge stone relic had ancient inscriptions but before they could be deciphered, the British Acting Settlement Engineer, Captain Stevenson, had it blown up to pieces in 1843.The legend of Badang was memorable enough for Cathay Kris Productions to turn it into a Malay film in 1962.
