Mat Kilau
Mat Kilau was a Malay warrior and one of the leaders of the Pahang uprising against British rule in 1891–1895, alongside Dato Bahaman. After the revolt failed he was believed dead, but in 1969 an elderly man in Pahang revealed himself as Mat Kilau, and the state government confirmed his identity shortly before his death in 1970. He is honoured as a Malaysian national hero.
