Keluarga Malaysia Teguh Bersama

Malacca Sultanate history could be gathered from 3 or more catergories but the main ones are; 1 - Contemporary records of the Chinese government and the Chinese travellers, 2 - the 16th. or the 17th. centuries writings of the Portuguese historians, and 3 - the Malays who wrote the traditional histories.

Malacca might have started as a fishing village but, by the time 1511 when the Portuguese conquered it, Malacca had developed into a flourishing trading centre.
