Queen Sima rule started on 674 AD in a place called Kalang or Dj-Apo in modern day Cotabato region in southern of Mindanao island in the Philippines, she was known for upholding the law and having no favorites. When a king from Arabia, the king question her reputation by leaving a bag of gold on a road for three years it was untouched but her heir stepped on the gold purposely when Sima learned of this act she sentenced her heir to death, but her minsters begged her not to execute her own heir so then she said "your fault lied in your feet so it would be sufficient to cut them off." But again her minsters begged her not to do this, so then she ordered both of their toes to be cut off and her minsters agreed to this. Then she said to her heir "You thought that your rank privileged you to not turn out, so you stepped over the purse. Yet you should have set the example. You ought to have been the most careful of all.

Because your rank is greater your fault is graver. Death was the penalty at first in my mind but my ministers have dissuaded me. Then, because your fault was in your feet, I would have had them cut off. But even that my ministers advise is too severe a penalty.

I sentence you to have the toes of both feet cut off, to remind you to set a better example, as a warning to others, and to prove that in our land, no one is so high in rank as to be above the law".
