| It
is traditionally believed that the history of Malaysia began with
the founding of Malacca in 1440 by Parameswara, a Sumatran prince.
Thereafter, the state flourished under the Malacca Sultanate and eventually
became the region's largest emporium attracting traders from as far
as China, India, Arabia and Europe. Malacca came under succesive colonial
eras when it was conquered by the portuguese in 1511, followed by
Dutch rule in 1641 before the British took over in 1824. All these
foreign influences have over the years transformed the state into
a cultural melting pot. The Portuguese and Peranakan communities have
untill today remained a distintive feature of society in Malacca. |
