This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Mount Ledang is the centrepiece of [[Gunung Ledang National Park]].

== Etymology ==
There are a few popular opinions regarding the origin of the mountain's name.

The attested version is [[Javanese people|Javanese]] during the period of the [[Majapahit]] empire named the mountain as ''Gunong Ledang'', which means 'lofty mountain', from [[Old Javanese]] word ''ledang'' meaning 'show-off'.<ref>Kamus Dewan 4th Edition [http://prpm.dbp.gov.my/Search.aspx?k=ledang] Retrieved 2013-09-27</ref>

Another source (unattested) said that the Chinese seafarers plying the [[Straits of Malacca]] called it ''Kim Sua'' meaning the 'golden mountain', likely from the [[Hokkien]] or [[Teochew dialect|Teochew]] words: ''kim'' (金) meaning gold and ''suann'' (山) meaning mountain.

== In Malay folklore ==
((main|Legend of Gunung Ledang))

[[File:Tangkak 2.jpg|upright=1.35|thumb|View of the mountain from [[Tangkak]]]]

Mount Ledang is one of the most celebrated mountains in [[Malay folklore]], notably the [[Legend of Gunung Ledang]]. It is a folklore which told of a princess with magical powers who resided on the mountain. She was wooed to be the wife of the then Sultan of [[Malacca Sultanate|Malacca]], [[Sultan Mahmud Shah]]. However, she set seven impossible conditions for him as a means to reject his proposal.<ref name="tourismmalaysia" />

The conditions were:
:* A bridge of gold for her to walk to Malacca from the mountain,
:* A bridge of silver for her to return from Malacca to the mountain,
:* Seven large clay jars of virgin's tears,
:* Seven large clay jars of betel nut juice,
:* Seven trays filled with hearts of fleas,
:* Seven trays filled with hearts of mosquitoes, and
:* A bowl of the blood of the Sultan's young son.

Some versions of the legend say that the [[Sultan]] was not able to fulfill any of these requests, while others say that he was able to fulfill the first six requests (thus causing the ruin of the [[Malacca Sultanate]]) but could not fulfill the final request which would have required him to kill his son.

Yet another version says that the Sultan approached his sons sleeping body and as he drew close with a dagger in hand the image of the Princess appeared before the Sultan and said to him that she could not possibly marry a man willing to wound his own son before vanishing, never to be seen again.

The point of the story is that the Sultan was either too proud or too blind to realise that the conditions were the Puteri's way of turning his proposal down.

Folklore has it that the gold and silver supposedly found on the mountain are attributed to; and a testament to this story. Hang Tuah and his companions were also learning their [[silat]] martial arts here on the top of this very mountain with a [[silat]] guru, Adiputera.

===In poetry===
A traditional Malay ''[[pantun]]'' makes the mountain proverbial:

((transl|zam|Berapa tinggi pucuk [[Areca catechu|pinang]]))<br />
((transl|zam|Tinggi lagi asap api)) <br />
((transl|zam|Berapa tinggi Gunung Ledang))<br />
((transl|zam|Tinggi lagi harapan hati.))

However high is the trunk of the [[Areca catechu|betel]]-nut tree, <br />
Higher is the smoke of fire. <br />
However high is Mount Ledang, <br>
Higher are the hopes of the heart.
