Once a Great City.
The historical city of Malacca.
A man named Parameswara from Srivijaya landed on this land during the 1400.
Resting under a tree, he witness a strange event.
His dog cornered a mouse deer. In self-defence, the mouse deer pushed the dog into the river.
He was impressed and decided to build an empire and it's called Malacca.
The great city of Malacca once became an international port for merchants, traders, warehouse and other facilities.
Nonetheless, being one of the important landmark in Southeast Asia. It has caught attention from the European. During the European colonization , the Portuguese took over the land and then the dutch and then the British.
The Malacca we known today is the third smallest state after Penang Island and Perlis.
Malacca has no Sultan today. The head of states is Governor.
These are some pictures of Melacca

This is how i see Penang through my lens.
Penang Island is very much a state similiar to Singapore just that it's very much 'not organized' or well plan as Singapore. Nonetheless, i've always like Penang. Once said to myself, if i retire i would stay in Penang.
Just a little information for those interested to invest properties in Penang. There are super condo's all around. ranging from 4000sq.ft - 6000sq.ft for about 2mil-5mil per unit.
getting back to the photo's. I admit this series is not any great but still pictures worth a thousand words. This series is mainly about Penang Street and it's unique architecture. My beautiful girlfriend and me spend about 5 hours walking around the city taking pictures.
and this is how i see Penang through my lens.
