Still remembering today's heroes today I want to introduce a woman fighter who is so scared of her time is Keumalahayati or Malahayati. Malahayati was born with the small name Keumala Hayati. His father was Admiral Mahmud Syah. His grandfather from his father's line was Admiral Muhammad Said Syah, the son of Sultan Salahuddin Syah who ruled around 1530-1539 AD.

Before plunging into the battlefield, Admiral Malahayati once served as chief of the Aceh government protocol. At that time, foreign guests wishing to approach the Sultan must go through his examination first. If the permit is obtained, the new guest can meet with the Sultan.

Sultan of that time Sultan Saidil Mukammil Alauddin Riatsyah (1588-1604) had his own reason to lift Malahayati as the head of the protocol. The condition of the sultan was advanced. He also chose Malahayati because it is considered to be trustworthy.

She fought in the Straits of Malacca. So the Malahayati figure is not only fighting at a low level but there are very big struggles. She faces a tough struggle such as the Portuguese and Dutch.

The Emperor accepted her in peace until Houtman insulted her. The Dutch, who had clashed with the Sultanate of Banten in northwest Java before arriving in Aceh, decided to attack. Malahayati is an admiral in the naval Sultanate of Aceh, who ruled the region of modern Aceh province, Sumatra, Indonesia. She is the first female admiral in the modern world. The troops drawn from the widows of Aceh and the soldiers he named "Inong Balee" and she also led the "Inong Balee" troops, The troops led by Malayahati totaled up to 2,000 people. They founded a fort in the Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar and its position overlooks the Malacca Strait. Over time, the troops were involved in various battles with Dutch and Portuguese soldiers who wanted to colonize Aceh. On 11 September 1599 Malahayati succeeded in killing Cornelis de Houtman in one battle, For that courage, Malahayati then received the title of Admiral.

Malahayati was killed in combat while attacking the Portuguese fleet she was killed because of strangling rencong Malahayari at Teluk Krueng Raya. She was buried at Desa Lamreh Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar.
