    MELAKA
    History
    Before the arrival of the first Sultan, Malacca
    was a fishing village. Malacca was founded by
    Parameswara, also known as Iskandar Shah.
    He found his way to Malacca around 1402
    where he found a good port—it was accessible
    in all seasons and on the strategically located
    narrowest point of the Malacca Straits.
    Flag
    The top left hand quarter has a background of
    royal blue with a yellow crescent moon and a
    yellow five-pointed star. The top right hand
    quarter is red and the lower half is white. Two
    equal bands of red and white, with a yellow
    crescent and five-pointed star in a blue canton.
    The flag hoisted in Stadthuys complex.
    Symbol of
    Flag
    The Red, white, yellow and blue, which are the
    colours of the flag of Malaysia, are also used
    in the flag of Malacca to emphasize that
    Malacca is a member state of Malaysia. The
    star and crescent represents Islam, the official
    religion of the State and of the nation.
    Coat Of Arms Of Malacca
    The Coat of arms of Malacca resembles European heraldicdesigns, and
    descended from that of Malaysia and the Federated Malay States under
    British colonial rule.
    The four colours on the arms: red, white, yellow and blue indicate that
    Malacca is part of Malaysia. The star and crescent, which stand on the crest
    represents Islam, the official religion of the state. The five kerises represent
    the five legendary warriors of the ancient Malacca Sultanate, who are Hang
    Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir, and Hang Lekiu.
    The two mouse-deer supporting the shield serve to recall the incident
    involving the mouse-deer: legend has it that a mouse-deer had attacked
    one of the hunting dogs brought by the entourage of Parameswara, the
    first ruler of the state, and kicked the dog into the river. Parameswara, who
    had fleeing the kingdom of Singapura at this point, considered the incident
    to be a good omen and decided to found a kingdom under it. He decides to
    name the settlement as Malacca, after the Malacca tree which he leaned
    against while witnessing the event, hence the tree is depicted in the shield.
    the earliest king of malacca
    The founder and first ruler of Malacca,
    Paramesvara (died 1424, Malacca), a Sumatran
    prince who had fled his native Palembang under
    Javanese attack, established himself briefly in
    Tumasik (now Singapore) and settled in Malacca in
    the last years of the 14th century or early in the
    15th.
    The Latest King Of
    Malacca
    In the year of 1511, the capital of Malacca
    fell to the Portuguese Empire, forcing the
    last Sultan, Mahmud Shah (r. 1488–1511), to
    retreat south, where his progenies
    established new ruling dynasties, Johor and
    Perak.
