 Seri Melaka by mansionion Melaka is one of the four Malaysian states where the Head of State is the Governer instead of a Sultan. As such, the Governors Museum was build here to commemorate the important role that the office of governor plays in the political, economical, social, political and administrative life of the state. The Governors Museum is housed in a historical building which was built by the Dutch and was the official residence and office of the Dutch Governor of Melaka during their reign. During the period of British rule the building continued to serve as the residence and office of the British governor of Melaka. After Malaya became independent, the building become the first residence of the first Governor of Melaka and the residence of the Governor was officially referred to as 'Seri Melaka'. The current official residence and office complex of Governor of Melaka (known as Istana Melaka) are now located in Ayer Keroh. The site of Seri Melaka is believed to be the site where the original palace of the Melaka Malay Sultanate stood. According to references in the 'Hikayat Munshi Abdullah', the palace of the Malay Sultan was known as 'Rumah Raja'. The Governors Museum housed the official letter of appointment and other documents, artifacts and exhibits as well as the personal collections of past and present governors of Melaka.

 Proclamation of Independence Memorial by mansionion As the proclamation of Malaya's indepedance from British rule was held at Padang Bandar Hilir, Melaka by the nation's first Prime Minister Tengku Abdul Rahman Putra, the Proclamation of Independence Memorial is a fitting tribute to this occasion. The Memorial is housed in a historic building which used to be the club house for the 'Malacca Club' during the colonial days. The building is just opposite the Padang Bandar Hilir where the Proclamation of Independance was made on 20 February 1956. The building was built in 1911 and its architectural design is a mixture of both local and British influence. The Proclamation of Independence Memorial was officiated by Tengku Abdul Rahman Putra himself on 31 August 1985 when Melaka hosted the National Level Independance Day celebration . The exhibits in the Memorial cover the period of the Melaka Sultanate till the achievement of Independence in 1957 with the emphasis on the subject of struggle for self-rule and independence. Free entrance. Opening hours: Tuesday - Thursday: 9.00 am to 6.00 pm Friday - 9.00 am to 12.00 noon and 3.00 pm to 6.00 Closed on Monday except during school and public holidays Leave a Comment

 The colonial occupation of Malacca by MikeAtSea One display of the museum is the colonial powers that occupied this part of Malaysia, from the Portuguese times, to the Dutch times, the British who took later control and the Japanese who occupied Malaysia during World War II. For me personally it is amazing how this country developed to such a modern state looking at the history and colonial oppression.

Quiet a large part of the is dedicated to the Dutch controlled times of Malaysia during the time of the Dutch Overseas Company that operated ship lines between the Netherlands and Malaysia. For me a visit to Malaysia is connected with direct historical links to South Africa, since many slaves arrived in Cape Town from this part of the world during the times of Dutch control. Hence the Malay Quarters in Cape Town thousands of miles away from Malaysia.

The Replica of the Sultanate Palace was built at the foot of St Paul's Hill in 1984. An interesting feature of the building is that no nails were used in the construction of the building..

 Governers Museum (Independence Hall) by Blatherwick This was constructed in 1912 to act as the official residence and office of the Dutch Governor of Melaka. During the period of British rule the building continued to serve as the residence and office of the British governor of Melaka. The building gained greated significance as it was where the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, read the historical document proclaiming independence for the country in 1956. The building is now a museum.

by blue_b This is a musuem that showcases mainly on the progress and growth of the federation of malaya from the time it started off with Tunku Abdul Rahman to the current Prime minister. Its main focus would be how malaysia got its independance and how it got segregated into it's various states.
