Melaka History

Assalamualaikum and Hi everyone!!!' Welcome to Melaka'. Before we explore more about  the food heaven in Melaka. Let we know about the history of Melaka first. The History of Melaka begin now.

            It all started sprawling back to 751 years ago (1262) when Parameswara found Melaka in the 14th century. He was resting under a tree by a river when his dog started to attack a mouse deer, which  later pushed the dog into the river. The brave gesture of the mouse deer had impressed him to immediately built a city on its spot. He then asked his followers the name of the tree which he was resting under, and was advised of its name; Melaka. He named the state ‘Melaka’ since then. None of any other cities in the nation had played such an influential and vital role in the political, economic, cultural and social development of the country and the region. Melaka Sultanate was also established to be responsible for the Sultanate in many states in Malaysia.

            During the period, Islam was introduced in the region, arriving along with Gujarat trades from Western India for trading textile and Melaka became known wordwidw as a center for silk and porcelain trading. During the first decade of the 16th century, Melaka was a bustling and cosmopolitan port that attracted hundreds of ships every year.

            Malaysia gained its independence on 31st of August 1957 when the first Prime Minister, His Highness Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al- Haj, was handed over the power to rule the country by the British. After the Independence, a colonial building built by British in Melaka, which was known as Malacca Club, was opened to public after being used by British upper class as their place for social activities. Exactly 38 years later, the same building was turned into The Proclamation of Independence Memorial. A place that commemorates Independence Day of Malaysia.

Foot Note :History of Melaka show about strength and passion. Although, we are small but it don't mean we weak. Trust yourself!!!
