Melaka (Malacca) State

History

“Where it all began”. Melaka (Malacca) is rich with history. It was founded by an exiled prince from Sumatera (Sumatra), Parameswara, in 1400. From a port, it grew into an empire streching to Johor in the south, Perak in the north, and the eastern coast of Sumatera in the west. It thrived as a port-of-call to many a ship and merchant from China, India, Arab and South America. In 1511 it fell to the hands of the Portuguese followed by the Dutch in 1641 after a fierce battle. In 1795 Melaka was given to the British to prevent it falling to the French when the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. It was returned to the Dutch in 1818 under the Treaty of Vienna but was later exchanged by the British for Bencoleen Sumatera (Sumatra). From 1826 onwards it was ruled by English East India Company in Culcutta together with Singapore and Penang under Straits Settlement administration. After World War II, anti-colonial sentiment bred in the country among the nationalists, the result of which the proclamation of Independence by his Highness Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, at the Padang Pahlawan (Warrior’s Field) at Bandar Hilir, Malacca on 20th February 1956.

Introduction

The history of Malaysia begins from Melaka (Malacca). The many remnants of the past will take a visitor on a nostalgic journey that goes back to 500 years of glorious and colourfull past. Every street, every monument tells its own story of conquest and valour, avarice and victory. Babas and Nyonyas (are the descendants of the Chinese who inter-married with the local people. The men are known as the 'Babas' ’nd the women are ‘Nyonyas’. They are said to be very Chinese in spirit and tradition but Malay in form). Malacca is Malaysia’s most fascinating and colourful historical city. It was Malacca that saw the cradle of the glorious Malay Sultanate in the 14th century. When Malacca was at her helm, Malacca became the centre of multi-ethnic synergy. From Malacca earliest days, Malacca was the rendezvous of the Arab, Indian, Javanese, Bugis and Chinese traders whose descendents form the multicultural society that is Malacca today. It is no wonder that Malacca evokes a special sort of magic for the Malaysians. That ‘golden age’ is now past, but the memories continue to enchant.

Places of Interest


Light and Sound

The best way to learn up the history of Malacca. The light and sound show at Bandar Hilir, Padang Pahlawan is the first such project in Southeast Asia. It is equal to other project namely the Egyptian Pyramid at Gaza, the Acropolis at Athens, and the Red Fort at Delhi. Significant events in Malacca’s history are re-enacted by means of lights, narrative, dialogue, music and relative sound effects to project real-life drama that will glue visitors to the seat. Highly educational yet entertaining, visitors to Malacca should make it point to attend the show to understand Malacca, its food and its people.

Malacca’s Sultanate Palace

Built based on the description and reference to the palace in ‘Sejarah Melayu’ (the Malay Annals), the wooden replica houses the Cultural Museum of Malacca. Situated at the foot of St. Paul’s Hill, it is the only Malay palace from Malacca’s glorious past built with such detail and refinement. Its now houses the Malacca Cultural Museum.

A Famosa

The hallmark of Malacca and perhaps the most photographed subject next to the Stadthuys. Built by Portuguese in 1511 as a fortress, it sustained severe structural damage during the Dutch invasion. The Dutch had set to destroy it but timely intervention by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1808 saved what remains of A Famosa today.

The Stadhuys

Built in 1650 as the official residence of Dutch Governors and their officers, the edifice is a fine examples of Dutch architecture. Preserved in its original structure and form, it now houses the Historic Museum and Ethnography Museum. On display daily are fine traditional bridal costumes and relics from Malacca’s glorious past.

Hang Tuah’s Well 

Located in Kampong Duyong about 4 km from town where Hang Tuah was born and spent his childhood among four of his good friends who would later become the famous knights of Melaka (Malacca). The well is said to be the abode of his soul which takes the apparition of a white crocodile. For a commoner to catch a glimpse of Hang Tuah is hardly likely. It is said that only the holy among us can ever hope to see the apparition.

Hang Tuah’s Mausoleum

A fully decorated admiral of Malacca’s naval forces who defended succesfully, countless attacks against Malacca sovereignty from siamese and Achenese fleets. Hang Tuah’s outstanding performance as a military officer made him a legend that has graced many a court and the history of Malacca. Hang Tuah’s bravery was discovered during his adolescence when he single handedly arrested a man who had ran amuck in the village called Kampong Duyong. His valiant act caught the sultan’s attention and he was called to the palace and conferred a knighthood, the youngest ever to be knighted.

Hang Jebat’s Mausoleum

At Kampung Kuli road. The champion of justice who died a tragic death. Hang Jebat was unceremoniously killed by Hang Tuah in a duel of honour that lasted 3 days and 3 nights. He ran amuck after suffering a fatal wound from Hang Tuah’s dagger, ‘Keris Taming Sari’, in the name of justice to avenge the sultan’s hasty punishment against Hang Tuah for a crime he didn’t commit, Hang Jebat was accused by Hang Tuah of ‘durhaka’ (contumacy). The duel between two of Malacca’s most prominent knights has left a permanent question as to the moral behind Hang Jebat’s aberrent reaction against the authority and, the conventions by which Hang Tuah exercised his conduct as a loyal subject of the sultan.

Hang Kasturi’s Mausoleum

Hang Kasturi studied ‘silat’ (Malay martial art) under the same tutelage as Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu. He became one of the ‘hulubalangs’ (knights) who served Malacca together with Hang Tuah. Except for Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi and the others remained loyal to the sultan to their dying day.

Hang Li Poh’s Well

Situated at the foot of Bukit Cina (Cina Hill). Built in 1459 by the followers of Hang Li Poh, the Chinese princess who married the Sultan of Malacca, the well never dried up during days of old and was the only source of water supplay during great drought. The Dutch enclosed it with stout walls in 1677 to maintain its ultimate right to the well. It has been turned into a wishing well and it is said that those who throw coins into it will return to Malacca time and again.

Bukit China (Chinese Hill)

As the name implies, ‘Chinese Hill’ was the official settlement of the Chinese entourage that arrived with Princess Hang Li Poh. She was sent to Malacca by the Emperor to marry the sultan to mark the advent of diplomatic relationship between MAlacca and China. The entourage stayed on this settlement until Portuguese occupation in 1511. Today Bukit China is the largest Chinese cemetery outside China with many of the tombs dating back to Ming Dynasty.

Dol Said’s Grave

The ninth ruler of Naning who defiantly opposed the imposition of tax on the district by the British. He valiantly resisted British forces on Naning, deploying his troop with outstanding display of military ingenuity that outsmarted the invading forces on two campaigns. The Naning War, waged in 1834,made Dol Said a hero of exceptional valor that earned him a permanent place in the history of Malacca.

Tun Teja Mausoleum

St. Paul Church

Built by a Portuguese Captain by the name of Duarte Coelho, the chapel was turned by the Dutch into a burial ground for their noble dead and renamed it ‘St. Paul’s Church’ from the Portuguese’s ‘Our Lady of The Hill’. St. Francis Xavier was briefly enshrined in the open grave in 1553 before being shipped to Goa, India.

Christ Church

Standing exactly as it has always been since 1753, the church is testimony to Dutch architectural ingenuity. Take note of the church’s handmade pews, ceiling beams constructed without joints. Brass Bible, tombstone written in Armenian and ‘Last Supper’ in glazed tiles.

St. Peter’s Church

The only church in Malaysia with a lifesize alabaster statue of The Dead Lord Before The Resurrection. Built by the Portuguese in 1710 with its architectural style blending to that of Oriental and occidental.

St. John’s Fort

Rebuilt by the Dutch during the third quarter of the 18th century, the fort was once a private Portuguese chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
