    MALACCA GUIDE YOUR FREE MALACCA GUIDE FROM THE ASIA TRAVEL SPECIALISTS www.asiawebdirect.com Thanks to a rich colonial past, thriving Peranakan heritage and excellent Nyonya fare, Malacca is Malaysia’s historical pride. Also spelt Melaka, the state is one of the country’s tourism industry’s trump cards. First established in the fourteenth century, it quickly gained fame under the auspices of founder Parameswara, a Sumatran prince. Conquered by the Portuguese, Dutch and British, remnants of their rule can be seen throughout the well-preserved town centre, from Porta de Santiago (the remaining gate of the Portuguese-built A’Famosa fort) to the nearby Dutch-constructed Stadhuys. Malacca’s a small town so exploring it is fairly easy on foot as you’re never too far from tourist-worthy sights. WEATHER SIM CARDS AND DIALING PREFIXES Hot and humid throughout the year with occasional rainfall, Malacca is perfect for year-round travel.

Corresponding Author: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.9.3.19 (Received: October 08, 2014; Accepted: November 14, 2014) Abstract This paper studies the role of stakeholders for tourism development in Malaysia based on the perceptions of tourists who come to the Melaka city. Even though the tourists are satisfied by the existing facilities available presently, there are a few shortcomings that need to be addressed such as neglected traditional issues, bureaucratic barriers, definition of sustainable tourism and communication problem with the local communities. The purpose of the study is to find out the roles of public, private and local community stakeholders of the historic city of Melaka for meeting the needs of tourists for tourism development. The findings indicate that the government, private and local community stakeholders have played positive roles for satisfying the demands of the tourists in shaping the development of sustainable tourism in Melaka. The primary data were collected through survey via interviews with 135 respondents based on their responses to a set of questionnaires which looked into the tourists’ perceptions in connection to the facilities available for sustainable tourism. The Likert scale data analyzing and reviewing the role of stakeholder’s towards perceptions of the tourists.

  • Nostalgia and Contested Heritage in Malacca (West Malaysia)1
    Draft papers Do not quote, cite or circulate without author’s permission Birds’ Nests, Heritage Trails, and Shopping Malls: Nostalgia and Contested Heritage in Malacca (West Malaysia)1. Ema Cláudia Pires Univ. Évora, Lisbon Univ. Institute and Anthropology Research Network (CRIA), Portugal This paper explores relations between Anthropology, Heritage and Cultural process in Malacca (West Malaysia). Historical references trace back the city’s origins to around 1403 A.C. Its growing importance in the network of trading activities in the Malay Archipelago made it fall under colonial rule of European powers. Malacca’s contemporary urban cartography still reveals the historic thickness of successive colonial occupations. In contemporary Malaysian society, this ‘colonial legacy’ has been at times, reformatted and re-imagined and contested, through heritage (and tourism) process. Since 2008, the city has also been listed as «World Heritage» town2. Who regulates what heritage is has become more problematic and a site of symbolic contestation. Based in ethnographic research, this paper explores linkages between nostalgia and alternative notions of heritage. I explore local residents’ meanings ascribed to “heritage” (translatable as ‘warisan’, in bahasa melayu). Building upon Rosaldo’s (1989) notion of ‘imperialist nostalgia’ and Hertzfeld’s (2005) concept of ‘structural nostalgia’, I end by discussing the production and consumption of colonial nostalgia in contemporary times. 1. Malacca’s «Glorious Past»: Official Heritage Trails Even before the UNESCO listing, Malacca was already considered to be Malaysia’s Historical City (Bandaraya Bersejarah). A recent official booklet, published in September 2008 by the Ministry of Tourism, summarizes the current quest for tourism and emphasises a narrative of the past in which readers are taught that: «Melaka’s history began in 1403 with the arrival of Parameswara, an exiled Hindu Prince from the Kingdom of Sri Vijaya in Sumatra.

  • Between History and Heritage: Post-Colonialism, Globalisation, and the Remaking of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore
    TRaNS: Trans –Regional and –National Studies of Southeast Asia Vol. 2, No. 1 (January) 2014: 79–101. © Institute of East Asian Studies, Sogang University 2014 doi:10.1017/trn.2013.17 Between History and Heritage: Post-Colonialism, Globalisation, and the Remaking of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore Daniel P.S. Goh Abstract The three cities of Malacca, Penang and Singapore share a century-long history as the British Straits Settlements, with similar multicultural traditions and urban morphology of dense shophouse districts. In the post-colonial period, these have been the basis for the production of heritage for urban renewal, civic identity for- mation, and international tourism. Yet, each city has approached the production of its history as heritage in different ways. The differences have been specified in terms of whether heritage production has been led by the state, market or civil society, and criticised as ideology or ambivalently interpreted as formative of identity in the face of globalisation. As colonial port-cities integrating into or becoming a new nation-state, I argue that the production of heritage in the three cities is driven by the politics of post-colonial identity interacting with the political economy of urban redevelopment. I argue that the production of heritage is one facet in the production of space and an increasingly important one in globalising Asian urbanisms. We can specify the differences in production of heritage space in the three cities in terms of the orientation of imagination and the ends of production. I show that the three city-states have been interpreting its history for heritage production in either Asian or cosmopolitan imaginations and configuring its heritage production for either political identity formation or econ- omic product development, or a mix of both.
