26 Chronicles of Great Malay Kings: The RECOMMENDED Legacy of Old Malacca TITLE

Introduction

MALACCA is a big name in the history world. It is a Malay city that achieved a high quality of civilization within the 14th to 15th Century. The city excelled to usher a sort of recognition from the world’s contemporary great powers such as the Chinese Ming and the Portuguese Joannine Dynasty. Stories about Malacca after its fall spread across the world in writings, somewhat as pearls bouncing out of a knot. This book recollected every piece to re-thread the lost love toward this Ma- lay civilization. Every recorded prose about Malacca was polished to capture a definite understanding for our current generation to learn. The Malacca Event in the Malay and Portuguese, along with other records, were collected and arranged into a singular, reader-friendly summary. In line with a history philosophy, let history be written based on what had happened, this book was persistent to feature Malacca from publicly accredited sources and deflect false claims that Malacca was a myth. It is hoped this book could sow the patriotic seeds among the Malays and without a doubt spark con- fidence and self-esteem. As the proverb goes, there is no use to cry over spilled milk. But Malacca was a memorable achievement within the Malay culture; it should not be forgotten. Peace, harmony, justice and prosperity among the citizens during that time should be repeated for the best interests of everyone. I hope this book would avail as many information for the younger generation, as well as the general populace.

However, do you know that studies, debates and discussions about it have begun in ancient times? Some of the earliest records of human psychology are in the year 387 BC. At that time, the famous philosopher Plato proposed his view by saying that the brain is the location where the process of mind works, whereas in 335 BC, Aristotle claimed that the process took place in the heart. According to The Oxford Handbook of the History of Category Non-Fiction Psychology: Global Perspectives, Islamic scientists Genre Popular Social also give great contributions to the study of the Science human mind.
