William Farquhar and Malacca
Malaccans believed that the fort would not crumble but in 1807 it was blown up with gunpowder leaving the remains of a single gate and a small stretch of wall. Porta de Santiago, is a heritage site today together with what William Farquhar supported and made no move to destroy the Church, and the Stadhuys at the Dutch Square.
British Flag and Dutch Flag
Side by side, both the British flag and the Dutch flag flew till December 1795 when the Dutch flag was lowered to impress old Malaccans that the British were in control. This enriched Malacca history.
