She survived and landed on the beach where the locals took care of her, where she settled, adapted herself to the local life and not wanting to return to Johor. She even set up a school and spread the teaching of Islam thereby becoming very much respected here for the love and her unselfish service to the community.
Two roads, a school and a mall in Miri were named after her. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. Even today, many of those who know of the legend continue to visit her tomb to show respect for the great princess.
