According to local folklore, Mat Chincang and Mat Raya were two legendary giants living on Langkawi island in Kedah.

They were good friends and soon-to-be in-laws, with Mat Raya’s daughter set to be engaged to Mat Chincang’s son. However, the engagement party turned into an argument when Mat Chincang’s son was said to have a relationship with another woman.
