By the end of the 15th century. Melaka had become a great trading empire as well as a rendezvous for every seafaring nation - Arabs, Indians, South Americans, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and Enslish. Here, gold, silk, tea, opium, tobacco, spices, perfumes and countless other items and natural resources were traded or exchanged.
The Portuguese were the first rule in 1511, followed by the Dutch in 1641 and British in 1824. Each rule left its mark behind to be forged and blended into a new and unique mix.
