dear simon, this is a true story about the woman mashuri in the beautiful island of langkawi. she was wrongly accused of adultery and by islamic law two hundred years back sentenced to a terrible death. she cursed the island for seven generations. they say the curse is over but i am quite doubtful. i stayed on the mysterious island for about eight years.
