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...
