ReplyDeleteKalau tak salah anak Dayang Sumbi is called Sangkuriang, kan?
Ye betul tu. Masa tulis blog ni semalam, lupa pulak nama anak dayang sumbi tu. Yang teringat masa tu adalah pelakon sensasi Indonesia yang melakunkan watak dayang sumbi tu dalam filem kisah legenda tu..kalau tak silap susanna namanya.
