Melaka Drive

The Portuguese came to Malacca in 1511 and ruled the place till 1641. When they arrived at the shores of Melaka, the first thing they did was build a fort overlooking the river. They named it A Famosa. The A Famosa is one of the oldest European Architecture present in Southeast Asia.

Today, Melaka is a world heritage city, this is supposedly declared by UNESCO. Well, it has many small museums, many small temples, several food corners, a small zoo, many over-rated hotels, and 2 big malls. Construction and urban development over there is like a bee hive, always busy, always on the move. There are more projects getting starting than being completed.

But that is another story. Here are some photos I took around the 2 malls in Melaka.
