A new day of Malacca

Salam and greetings to everyone..

A' FAMOSA 

You have learned a lot about Malacca in my previous entry, about the history, the revolution of Malacca and so on. Well, I think Malacca is a very great city and very historical. Not only, it contains a lot of pre-historic secrets that we never know, but the mix culture, people, history make it one of the most recent place to visit. Its unique characteristics make Malacca to be very well- known among foreigner. And of course Portuguese people. Their remnants still exist in the heart of Malacca people.

Back in the old days, Malacca are highly respected for their glory, Now, Malacca is still respected for their historic remains. Because of the revolution that keep happened in Malacca, we can still see old building and left behind the infamous A'Famosa. If you guys having a holiday in Malacca, be sure to visit this places and explore Malacca as it is a very beautiful city and their never-ending uniqueness.

As, Malaysia gain its 55th Independence Day, everything has followed along with the changes around the world. But, I'm proud to say that Malaysia are still preserved our cultures, customs, historical places to make sure we will remember our ancestors fight before. And so does Malacca who had not change what their city is all about. Although technologies gave a big impact to our country, Malaysia are not flattered with it instead make use of it to make Malaysia to be well-know throughout the whole world. And that is what happened to Malacca as well.

I think that's all for today. I'll make sure to continuing posting about other historical places.

THE REVOLUTION OF MALACCA

MALAYSIA : THEN AND NOW

Salam to all  :)

Lets continue my previous entry now.... 

MALACCA

   Under Sultan Mansur Shah (1456-1477), Malacca's fame and wealth does not last long after getting attention from the expansionist Europeans with the Portuguese becoming the first to arrive and eventually going on to conquer Malacca land. All the activities were led by Alfonso d'Albuquerque. The Portuguese, who arrived in 1509, were at first welcomed as trading partners, but then expelled when their designs on the country became apparent. 

    

    The Portuguese returned two years later, seized the city and try to turn the city into impregnable fortress, bristling with seventy cannon and equipped with all the latest anti-siege war technologies. However, these proved insufficient to keep out the Dutch, who starved the city into submission in 1641 after a six month siege. 

     When Holland was overrun by the French in the Napoleonic wars, the Dutch Prince of Orange ordered all his overseas possession to surrender to the Great Britain. After the wars ended, the British handed Malacca back to the Dutch. Shortly afterwards the British managed to regain the city back by swapping one of their Sumantran colonies for it. Apart from a brief tenure by the Japanese during WW2, the city stayed in British hand until Malaysia declared independence in 1957.

That all for now..  Salam and Thank you for reading :)

MALAYSIA : THEN AND NOW

Salam again to everyone :)

Lets continue the previous entry about Malacca.

"PARAMESWARA"

     The Sumantran prince, named Parameswara was credited with the founding of the historical place and naming it Malaka or Malacca. Its all start when the prince as out hunting and while resting under a tree, one of his dog cornered a mouse-deer or 'Pelandok'. The mouse-deer was on defense and attacked the dog and even forced it into the river. Parameswara was so taken up by the courage of the mouse-deer that he decided on the spot to found a city on the ground he was sitting on. Thus, Malacca was born. Many of them claimed that this name 'Malaka' was took from the tree that was shading him.

     As time went on, the city of Malacca grew bigger and bigger and become more and more successful. Parameswara was the first Malay prince to became Muslim and Islam became the religion of Malays in the Peninsular (now West Malaysia). The prince known as Iskandar Shah died in 1424.

Thats all for now. Thank you for reading my entry :)

Place of Interest (MALACCA)

Salam to everyone :) 

MALAYSIA: THEN AND NOW

Introduction :

     

      Salam and greeting to everyone. First of all, let me say thank you to our lecturer Sir Hazizi because give us a task about independence day and has give us a theme and that is "MALAYSIA: THEN and NOW". Plus, we have to develop them in specific domain and scope so i choose place of interest as my scope because everyone especially in Malaysia know that nothing in this country has more interest places than Malacca. 

       The state call Malacca is where it all began. No historian has been able to spot the year of Malacca was founded. Going by the State government's celebration of 600th anniversary of the founding in August 1990, it could be deduced that Malacca was founded in 1390. The history of Malacca is largely the story of a city for which it is named by, and the story of Malacca starts with the fascinating and partly legendary tale of the Hindu prince Parameswara. 

I think that all for now.... wait for my next entry ok... SALAM...
