Come meet the first vampire in the world! Did you know that Raja Bersiong actually lived in the 11th or 12th century meaning that it predates Vlad Tepesh? - the real life bloodthirsty ruler that spawned Dracula. Mentioned in Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa and then later immortalised on film(s) most people have an inclination of what he is, a mortal man who developed a taste for blood and because of it grew fangs and became more cruel. Tutu reimagines him as a young prince, the heir to the kingdom of Langkasuka and the possibility that this affliction might have come to him from more traditional vampiric means. Catch this interesting conversation!
