Synopsis

The notorious "Pirate King" Tan Lian Lay once terrorised the waters of Perak Malaysia and Bagan Siap-Api, Indonesia. His personal story and the history of his coastal bases are a mix of fact, fiction, legend, myth and religious belief. Field researcher Lee Eng Kew (aka Ah Kew) retraces how a notorious criminal went from being a powerful gang leader to a hunted man, and later became revered as a deity. It is a story that encompasses the WWII Japanese occupation of South East Asia, the British colonial rule, and the power of the assimilation of myth into history, which still affects people today.
