It had been colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. Therefore, visit Malacca city can let students to experience history studies of Malaysia. A’Famosa, St. Paul’s Hill & Dutch Square A’Famosa is perhaps Malacca’s best known sightseeing spot. Originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church. The ruins of St. Paul’s Church are at the summit of St. Paul's Hill. Though it has been in ruins for more than 150 years, it is a beautiful, breezy sanctuary (reached after a steep flight of stairs) set near the remains of A’ Famosa fort. A marble statue of St. Francis Xavier, built in 1953, stands within the complex commemorating Malaysia’s best-known missionary. Dutch Square is Malacca’s most picturesque spot on the riverfront along Jalan Kota. Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum is a private museum in the Chinatown area of Melaka. The museum is housed in a classic nineteenth century Chinese shop house. Baba's and Nyonya's are Chinese descendents who have adopted Malay culture. They are also known as Straits-born Chinese or Peranakans, and practice both Chinese and Malay customs. NCR Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. (642379-T) (KLP No: 6740) (MATTA : MA3924) GST REG.

One of the famous food found in Jonker Street in Malacca is the Chicken Rice Ball. The Chicken rice balls are shaped like a golf balls, served cold and taste like fishball in texture because they don't break into grains when chewed. The chicken flesh is slippery smooth and reeks of ginger and green onion.

Un Couple Bien Assorti ?
TOURISME ET PATRIMOINE DANS LA VILLE DE MALACCA, MALAISIE Un couple bien assorti ? Florence Graezer Bideau École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Mondher Kilani Université de Lausanne Introduction Dans ce texte, nous nous penchons sur le lien entre tourisme et patrimoine dans la ville de Malacca (Melaka en malais), capitale de l’État du même nom appartenant à la fédération de Malaisie. En 2008, cette ville a été conjointement inscrite avec la ville de George Town, la capitale de l’État de Penang, sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO1. Notre réflexion s’inscrit dans une recherche plus large, menée depuis plusieurs années et incluant les deux sites2. Sa finalité est de saisir les enjeux de la 1. Voir le dossier de nomination (UNESCO 2009). La Malaisie possède actuellement quatre sites inscrits sur la Liste du Patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Deux sites naturels, les parcs nationaux de Kinabalu au Sabah et Gunung Mulu au Sarawak sur l’île de Bornéo, inscrits en 2000, et deux sites culturels sur la péninsule malaise, les villes historiques de Melaka et de George Town et le Patrimoine archéologique de la vallée de Lenggong, inscrits respectivement en 2008 et 2012. Les villes de Malacca et George Town ainsi que deux zones protégées, les parcs nationaux de Langkawi et de Taman Negara en raison de leur faune et de leur végétation, sont les lieux les plus visités dans la Malaisie occidentale par le tourisme national et international. Pour une perspective comparative des sites classés sur la liste du patrimoine mondial en Asie du Sud-Est, voir King 2013.

The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

Churches and Missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990)
Early nineteenth-century foundations of Christianity in Malaya: Churches and missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990) 1. INTRODUCTION Today Christianity in Malaysia and Singapore seeks an identity which is true to its own energy and cultures at the same time as it is conscious of its participation in a universal faith. It is also important that it be aware of its own history. While associations with the British period have now faded, it remains nevertheless an era worthy of study, just as the nature of that association still requires examination. The years between the arrival of the British in Penang and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking cover a time when British interests in the region developed but did not yet extend beyond the Straits Settlements. It was no accident that this was also a period of Christian expansion, yet the links were on the whole indirect. For the churches, it was a time when if seldom at government direction, then at least under a British umbrella, a new influx of missionary interest both took root and lost impetus. Such an influx was not to be repeated until later in the century and again in the 1950s, and in any case much of the core of modern Christianity in the end derives as much from migrant Christian communities as from the work of missionaries in Malaya. Nevertheless the diversification and growth of the church during the early 19th century was not insignificant. What began as a sleepy community of Catholic Portuguese, over a period of 60 years came to encompass other races and at least some other denominations.

This book may not be reprinted, or any part of it reproduced or transmitted in any form, electronic, mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any other means without written permission from the Department of National Heritage. WORLD HERITAGE MALAYSIA DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL HERITAGE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND CULTURE MALAYSIA Preface Bringing Malaysian heritage to the world through obtaining various UNESCO inscriptions, is among the responsibilities given to the Department of National Heritage. Malaysia has ratified several heritage conventions. The heritage conventions are World Heritage Convention 1972, Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage 2003, Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict with Regulations for the Execution of the Convention, The Haque, 1954 and Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, The Haque, 1954. It is a challenging task for us to see through an inscription as the process is long and difficult. However, since its inception in 2006, the Department of National Heritage has successfully obtained 2 World Heritage inscriptions namely: Melaka and George Town, Historic Cities of the Strait of Malacca 2008 and Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley 2012. In addition, one inscription has been obtained for Memory of the World International Register namely Batu Bersurat Terengganu, 2009. This volume has been put together by Nurwati Abdul Wahab, Wan Noazimah Wan Kamal, Nor Azimah Supa’at and Mohamad Syahrin Abdullah, as a general guide to what Malaysia has achieved in heritage recognition at a global level.

CHAPTER 2 WORLD HERITAGE SITES 2.1 Introduction Around The
CHAPTER 2 WORLD HERITAGE SITES 2.1 Introduction Around the world, there are a number of cultural and natural heritage sites that are claimed as special and important to all people (UNESCO,2003). Among these sites, some are considered to have outstanding values to the humanity. A site is called a World Heritage (WH) site when it is put on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization‟s (UNESCO) World Heritage List for its outstanding universal value (OUV). This chapter discusses about World Heritage (WH) sites, which requires an essential understanding of outstanding universal value (OUV) that was defined in the Convention 1972 in the first part. This is follows by identification of heritage cities in Asia and Pacific regions. This part also outlines the general characteristics of Melaka and George Town WH cities- properties area and their cultural properties. This background is important as it partly contributes to the significance of the cultural properties with three criteria demonstrate at both Melaka and George Town World Heritage (WH) sites, which are the subjects to the second part. The last part of this chapter discusses on guidelines (internationally) on the conservation of historic cities to understand the reason for continuous presence of an increasing challenges in monitoring the state of conservation, as both cities constantly faced development pressures, where the authenticity and integrity for the inclusion of cultural properties on the WH list is affected. 30 2.2 World Heritage Sites Heritage, in the context of conservation, means our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generation.
