DEWA PECHIL - A MAK YONG TALE TOLD BY ALI BIN IBRAHIM
by Patrick Ann Hardwick & Dara Dayana Mohd Jufry; Kamal Nawie
Description
The Dewa Pechil tale teaches we cannot succeed alone. The loyalty of Cemara Bermas and her followers are needed for Dewa Pechil's revival.
Through the effort of this heroic princess and her followers and their wiliness to abandon a corrupt society, Dewa Pechil is restored and the wilderness is no longer wild. The story reflects important Southeast Asian values of loyalty and community support and sociality as essential for a meaningful life.
This pro-social tale shows that empathy and altruism counter greed and self-interest. for non-Malay, readers the story will introduce traditional Malay cultural values. For insiders, child or adult, it is a message in narrative form from ancestors about how to be Malay.
