I visited Malacca, Malaysia last year, in January 2018. I manage to explore Malacca city and capture historical building and places as well as witness Malacca culture and heritage.
Referring to Malacca history, Malacca was established when Parameswara who was the king of Sriwijawa kingdom had escaped from Sriwijaya, Palembang in Sumatra due to Majapahit invasion in 1377.
