The Malacca`

Malacca was founded by a fleeing prince from Sumatra in 14th century, it developed into a major trading port for ships from India and China. As the Melaka Sultanate flourished, the Portuguese conquered Malacca in 1511. Later the Dutch took over in 1641 until much later the British empire ruled Malacca. The state finally obtained independence with the then "Malaya states" in 1957. Today, one will find many remnants of the glorious past dated back more than 500 years ago.

On top of St. Paul's Hill is the St. Paul's Church, once the prayer house of the Portuguese Catholics, then turned into burial ground for their noble dead by the Dutch.

In 1952, a statue of St. Francis Xavier was built to commemorate the passing of the saint. Originally, the statue was completely constructed with the right arm in place. However, on the morning after the consecration ceremony, a large casuarina tree fell on it and broke off the right arm, resulted in a statue with missing arm until today.


There Were Many Ancient Funerary Slabs Which Mostly Written In Dutch Inside The Church




I Think This Was To Support From The Old Building.

A'Famosa From St. Paul's Church


The A’Famosa

A’Famosa is part of a fortress built encircling the base of St. Paul's hill by the Portuguese in 1511. The gate is called Porta de Santiago. There were the governor's palace, bishop's palace, state halls, five churches and two hospitals inside A'Famosa. There was severe destruction during the Dutch invasion in 1641. In 1808, the British set to tear down the fortifications. Unfortunately, the weapons used at that time were not powerful enough to destroy the fifteen-feet-thick of A'Famosa. At the same time, Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore stepped in to prevent the complete destruction. What is left and restored is the entrance walls.

何雪梅 ：“我認為，人活著應該要有價值，別人能做到的，我也能做到。”

（馬六甲）19年前的一場爆炸意外奪走了何雪梅的雙手，將她對人生的美好憧憬徹底粉碎，最終是本身那顆堅強及愛好藝術的心，陪伴著她跨過幽谷，也鞭策著她成為著名的殘臂書法家！

來自中國廣西欽州的何雪梅，現年37歲，她沒有左臂，只有齊腕截除的右臂；但是這比一般人短的右臂，卻寫出筆畫清晰、筆勢意態自如的書法。 此外，何雪梅也可以用口代替手臂寫書法，清晰有力的一筆一劃之間，充份展現出意志力和決心孕育出的成功。
