The mythical hero Hang Tuah , the Malaysian national hero, is believed to have lived in the Sultanate of Malacca in the 15th century.
Malacca was initially a Hindu kingdom before it was Islamized around 1402 by Parameswara (1344–1414), Sultan of the Kingdom of Singapura ( Kerajaan Singapura in Malay ), or a prince from Srivijaya according to Portuguese sources such as the Suma Oriental . From Malacca, Islam continued to spread to the Malay Archipelago . In 1511 the Portuguese conquered the seat of government with the city of Malacca, after which the sultanate fell apart. While Malacca remained a colonial center of the Portuguese in East Asia for 130 years, various smaller sultanates such as Johor and Perak emerged on the Malay Peninsula . In 1641 the Dutch conquered the Portuguese Malacca. It marked the beginning of the decline of the Portuguese colonial empire in Southeast Asia and the rise of the Dutch East Indies colony . What remained in Malacca was a Portuguese Creole language that is still spoken today. In 1824 Malacca fell to the English.
