Keluarga Malaysia Teguh Bersama

Saint Paul Church served as a landmark for navigators in history. The European ketches once rode anchor beside the Malay perahu or sampan , while vessels from the Straits of Malacca would take note of their landmark, Saint Paul Church. The Malacca River or Sungai Melaka still flow down to the harbour, separating the major old areas from the fort of Saint Paul. Go to the old areas when you're in Malacca !

Bridges and river are historic. The estuary of the Malacca river was accounted for small local vessels, and in any case was obstructed from early times by the Tan Kim Seng bridge since 1862 . Tan Kim Seng was a Straits Chinese merchant. Tan Kim Seng was born in Malacca in 1805 and started as a trader in Singapore.
