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!!!
