 Tan Beng Swee Clock
Tower, Melaka by bpacker
As I mentioned earlier, not everything old and monumental in the Dutch Square in Melaka is Dutch. The Tan Beng Swee clock tower is another example. It was donated by a millionaire in 1886 with a clock imported from England. After a while, the clock died out like colonialism and was replaced by a Seiko in 1982. Well, you would think that such a small event would be quiet right? Nope, far from it, the incident roused the ire of the elderly folks. Why? Well, those old folks have less than fond memories of the Japanese occupation it seems. But to no avail, the Seiko is still ticking away merrily at the tower today . I don't think the elderly ones have contacted Swatch for sponsorship yet... Leave a Comment Directions: Passing the bridge of Sungai Melaka nearby Jalan Temenggong

 The Clock Tower and Fountain,
Melaka by bpacker
A long,long time ago, Melaka came under the Dutch rule and the red buildings are by far, the most obvious testimony of their short rule here. The red building, called the Stadthuys, is believed to have been completed in 1650 and was home to the Dutch governors. Now, it has become the Malacca Historical Museum and the drawing point for tourists, trishaw drivers. Opposite of the Stadhuys is Queen Victoria's fountain and the Malacca Clock Tower, built in 1886 by a local rich sod, sorry, I meant a millionaire.

This square was established in 1650, was the Administrative Center of Meleka during the Dutch colonial period. On the square are the Stadthuys, now a Melaka history Museum, and Christ church. Leave a Comment Directions: Passing the bridge of Sungai Melaka nearby Jalan Temenggong

 Dutch Square by robertgaz
If you look behind and to the right of the tower you can just see the Christ Church which was built in 1753.
At the far right of the picture is the Stadthuys which was built between 1641 and 1660 and is believed to be the oldest Dutch building in the East. It was used as the town hall and governor's residence. Leave a Comment Directions: Passing the bridge of Sungai Melaka nearby Jalan Temenggong

It was built in 1753. This church notable feature is the ceiling beams, over 15m (16yd) long, were each made from a single tree. The 200-year old pews, at the altar, there is a painting of the Last Supper on glazed tiles and on the floors are tombstones in Armenian script.
Entrance Fee
The entrance is free but you can make a donation towards the upkeep of the church. Leave a Comment Directions: Passing the bridge of Sungai Melaka nearby Jalan Temenggong

This is The Stadhuys ! I think this is a Dutch word, yes ?
This was the Dutch office during the 18th century but now it's a museum.
The Stadhuys now is The Historic Museum & The Ethnography Museum.
In these museums, we can see Chinese & Malay traditional costumes & aged old Dutch & Portugese relics !
Me & Ivan just didn't have the time to be in there... Leave a Comment
