Greetings ! Everyone. I'm ChicoHoney from Malaysia. This is my second story. This story will be all about history of Malaysia (from the beginning to the present) and maybe cover some recent major news/accidents. Before I introduce readers the history, let me briefly explain the country first. Without further ado…. Let's start! :DD
Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy located in Southeast Asia. It consists of thirteen states (Johor, Malacca, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan,Perak, Kedah, Perlis,Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak) and three federal territories(Labuan, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) and it is separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Malaysian Borneo which are Sabah ,Sarawak and Labuan the rest are in Peninsular Malaysia).
Its national anthem is Negaraku which literally translated as My Country. National language is Malay, flower is hibiscus, and animal is Malayan tiger.
Peninsular Malaysia shares a with Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia whereas East Malaysia shares borders with Brunei and Indonesia(Kalimantan). The capital city is Kuala Lumpur, while Putrajaya is the seat of the federal government. Located in the tropics, Malaysia is one of 17 megadiverse countries on earth, with large numbers of endemic species.
Malaysia has its origins in the Malay kingdoms present in the area which, from the 18th century, became subject to the British Empire. The first British territories were known as the Straits Settlements, whose establishment was followed by the Malay kingdoms becoming British protectorates. Malaya was restructured as the Federation of Malaya in 1948, and achieved independence on 31 August 1957.
The country is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural because malay covers about half of the population then Chinese is the second largest population and large minorities Indians, and indigenous peoples. The constitution declares Islam the state religion while allowing freedom of religion for non-Muslims. The government system is closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system and the legal system is based on common law.
The head of state is the king, known as the Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong AKA Yang di-Pertuan Agong. In Malaysia, we have 9 king in 9 states which are Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor and Terengganu but it was an elected monarch chosen from the hereditary rulers of the nine Malay states every five years. The head of government is the prime minister.
Since its independence, Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with its GDP growing at an average of 6.5% per annum for almost 50 years (Then it kinda worse…during 2015 ) due to the economy has traditionally been fuelled by its natural resources, but is expanding in the sectors of science, tourism, commerce and medical tourism.
Malaysia is a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the East Asia Summit and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and a member of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Non-Aligned Movement.

Malacca: Where it all began the history of Malaysia (Part 1)
In the 14th century, Malacca was a fishing village until one day, a king named Parameswara fled from Sumatra to Temasik ( which is known as Singapore)Malacca because an attack from the Majapahit Empire.
The legend said that the sultan rested under a tree and saw a white deer kicked his hunting dogs into a river. The sultan said 'This place will be prosperous.' The sultan turned his head to the tree where he sat 'What's the name of the tree?' said to his soldier. His soldier replied back to him 'It is called the Malacca Tree, Your highness.' And thus, Malacca was formed and its personification was born.
Under the rule of Parameswara, Malacca became a famous trading port, waiting out monsoons and resupplying trading ships due to its strategic Selat Melaka which is known as the Straits of Malacca.

Parameswara's POV
'Hm…it's nice day to take a walk.' The sultan thought happily in his mind while talking a walk in the forest.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound from the bushes. I approached to the sound and found a child playing with a baby deer. I kindly asked the name of the child and the child simply replied to me with a widest smile 'Nama saya ialah Malacca. (My name is Malacca.)'
I was shocked by the appearance of the child but the child and I played together in the forest and treat the child like a parent-daughter relationship. I always like to meet the child because she made my day when I was stress about my work. I decided to teach her anything she need and bring the child to live in the palace with me.
As Malacca grow up, she studies about trading, classical malay language and so on. The country became so rich due to her famous trading port and this attract the attention of a certain Emperor in China.
Author's POV
Around year 1405
'Your highness…' The unknown person bowed to greet the king.
'China, I wanted you to travel to Malacca to negotiate with the sultan Parameswara to make a friendly relationship and protection with them.' said the Yongle Emperor of Ming Dynasty to his nation, China.
'Yes, Your highness. I shall make my preparation immediately.' China replied to him.
China prepares all his needs and agreement quickly then set sail to Malacca.
'I am going to make another nation as my sibling!' China thought happily in his mind.

After China and his soldier arrived at Malacca, he soon greeted by the locals and the Sultan. The Chinese nation noticed the presence of the child nation who hid behind the Sultan.
'Come, go and greeting him.' said Parameswara to Malacca. Malacca shyly nodded her head and approached China.
'Um… Hi, my name is Malacca.' said the shy child nation to China. China kneeled down to her level and smile to Malacca '你好,马六甲。我是中国.(Hi, Malacca. I'm China.)' And thus, this causes the relationship between China and Malacca became stronger.
After a few years, China came back to Malacca again with Admiral Zheng He. The Ming Emperor wanted to enhance the relation by sending her daughter Princess Hang Li Po to Malacca and she was accompanied by 500 attendants. The Princess marries to Sultan Manshur Shah who was the sixth sultan. (Reigned from 1456 until 1477). Her attendants married to the locals and settled in Malacca thus creating a new community.
