Introduction
Where it all began ..... No

historian has been able up to now to pin-point the year Malacca was founded.

 However, some historians had placed the founding at

between 1376 and 1400. That s Sumatran prince, named parameswara, was credited with the founding of the city and naming it Melaka in not disputed.
A popular account puts the Prince as out hunting one

day and while resting under a tree, one of his dogs cornered a mouse-deer or 'pelandok'.

 The

mouse-deer in its defence attacked the dog and even forced it into the river-water. Parameswara was so taken up by the courage of the mouse-deer that he decided on the spot to found a city on the ground he was sitting on. Thus, Melaka or Malacca was born. Many claimed that the prince took this name from the 'Melaka' tree that was shading him. As time went on, Melaka grew bigger and bigger and became more and more prosperous. Parameswara, incidentally, was the first Malay prince to become a Muslim and inevitably, Islam became the religion of Malays in the Peninsular (now West Malaysia).

Nice Places to visit in Malacca ..

River Cruise Malacca ..

The river was the main artery of trade for Melaka in its heyday when it was

bustling with traders from all around the world.

Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also

lined by old villages, or kampungs, and modern day buildings.

The 45-minute cruise is accompanied by an entertaining and informative

commentary. And, for just RM8, it's a good bargain. See parts of historical Melaka, get a history lesson for next to nothing, and never break a sweat!
