I saw ur mom before come to malaysia look so shy n a bit awkward stranger n after a few days look so aggressive,daring n more cherful n happy.nice family dude!
Its aggressive, because anytime you piss her off, she is gonna punch your face. She inherited the spirit of malay warrior,very fierce, very aggressive. Tread carefully with her.
a bit correction about Cheng Ho (Zheng He)..he is not bringing islam in Malacca but he played an important role in establishing relationship between China and Muslim countries..because he was born in muslim family, Hui Chinese from Yunnan, China..
The wordings on the wall is referring to Melaka & Georgetown being inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list in 2008 during the committee session held at Quebec city, Canada.
Steve, since you like history, here is some little fun fact on Zheng He, from Wikipedia. Zheng He, who real name was Ma He (Mohd equivalent) was a great-great-great-grandson of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar, who served in the administration of the Mongol Empire and was the governor of Yunnan during the early Yuan dynasty. Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din was of Central Asian Irainic origin, being a Muslim Khwarezmian from Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan). When Genghis Khan attacked the city during the war between the Khwarizmi Shah and the Mongols, Sayyid Ajall Shams al-Din Omar's family surrendered to him. He was allegedly descended from Ali ibn Abi Talib and the Prophet, Sayyid Ajall's father was Kamāl al-Dīn and his grandfather was Shams al-Dīn 'Umar al-Bukhārī. According to Marshall Broomhall, Shams al-Din, "who was a native of Bokhara, is said to have been a descendant of Mohammed (twenty-seventh generation)." Sayyid participated in Mongke Khan's conquest of Sichuan and was in charge of logistics. He served the court of the Yuan dynasty at Yanjing (modern day Beijing). Later, he was in charge of Imperial finances in 1259, sent to Yunnan by Kublai Khan (Yuan Dynasty) after conquering the Kingdom of Dali in 1274. In the autumn of 1381, a Ming army, after kicking out the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty) invaded and conquered Yunnan. Zheng He was captured by the Ming armies at Yunnan in 1381 by General Fu Youde and was sent to serve in the household of Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, who later became the Yongle (Ming) Emperor and later, awarded Ma He the honorable name "Zheng He" For more details, check it out in Wikipedia. Cheers
Not correct to say Islam was 1st brought by the Chinese to Malacca in 1400 . The 1st Islamic State in this region (SEA) was Perleuk/Perlak year 860 located in Acheh/North Sumatra. Also found Engraved Stone/Batu Bersurat/Prasasti dated 1303 in Terengganu. Also Sunan Grisek the 1st religious person who went to Java dated 1392. Prior to that he and his parents (after migration from India), stayed in Acheh, Kedah, Kelantan and Cambodia before he went Java. So to say all these were dated before 1400 (Malacca time period).. In summary, Islam had reached Malaysia earlier than Melacca time. Perhaps not in the form of an Islamic State. Sunan Grisen and his children and grand children (knowns as Wali Songo) brought Islam in Java. As a result, the Hindus previously in mainland Jawa Island has to move to Bali Island and stay there to this day. Would like to add, Sunan Grisek went to area close to Jogjakarta together with his followers from Kelantan. The area that they stayed is now known as Klaten Regency
Your mum is a natural. Looks so much at home with the intro. Well done! 👍 Btw, at the chicken rice shop, the 2 sauce served are the chilli and the ginger (not garlic & onion). As for the riceball, you can actually break it and eat as rice if you're more comfortable eating this way. Also, it's good to see your mum loving Melaka and i believe Malaysia has given her a good impression.
Museum is weird.. you don't wanna be in.. but when u are in.. u spend at least 2 hours.. 😂 I always make a habit to visit the meseum whenever i gone to somewhere new.. Melaka is the historical site of Malaysia.
Give Roti Canai with Devil Curry a try 😊 You can't find it anywhere - even in Malacca where the Devil Curry originated from. FYI, Devil Curry is a Malaccan Portuguese dish and from the way how it's prepared, one can say it's a variation of Vinho de Alho (an old Portuguese dish) or Vindaloo in Goa ,but am not sure about it. Usually, I'd "tapau" (takeaway) the Devil Curry from a Portuguese Malaccan restaurant in KL called Kumi "(Come" in standard Portuguese), keep it in the fridge overnight, reheat it in the morning and eat it with Roti Canai that I tapau-ed from the mamak or Malay stall. That's the best thing about living in Malaysia: You're free to mix and match everything according to your creativity and before you know it, you're having something new on your plate! 😂
Cendol is a rice flour jelly, normally eaten with coconut milk and coconut sugar together with shaved iced. The durian is an added ingredients these days. Malacca cendol is famous. The green color come from pandan leaves although some may use food coloring
9:10 Near the location of Entrapment (1998) where Sean Connery and Ving Rhames had meal at the restaurant as well as boat ride with Catherine Zeta Jones 10:25 Ivana and her sister really lookalike
Some scholars claim Melaka founded in 1396. The 1st king was Parameswara, malay hindu prince from Srivijaya. Then, circa 1414 or 1424, Islam become official religion in Mlka. Admiral Zheng He only visits Mlka but not spread Islam. Islam introduced by Indian muslim & arab traders..
WELL YES CHENG HO WAS A CHINESE MUSLIM ORIGINALLY FROM YUNNAN SOUTHERN CHINA, HE WAS BROUGHT UP AS A EUNUCH IN THE EMPERORS COURT AND THEN BECAME AN ADMIRAL, BUT NO HE DIDN'T BROUGHT ISLAM HERE, ISLAM HAS ALREADY HERE CENTURIES BEFORE HE CAME BUT IT WAS STILL NOT THE MAIN RELIGION OF THE LOCAL NATIVE. BUT HE HELP THE LOCAL MUSLIM RULERS TO ESTABLISH MORE ISLAMIC INSTITUTION BY BRINGING CHINESE ISLAMIC SCHOLARS WITH HIM. HE ALSO WENT TO HAJJ TO MECCA WITH HIS FLEET. HE ALSO BUILT MOSQUE IN JAVA ACTUALLY, ASK IVANNA ABOUT THAT.
Explore the rural part of Melaka, they have many traditional house of Melaka that still standing SAD FACT: Portuguese RANSACK Melaka city & BUILD A FAMOSA from the ruins of MELAKA SULTANATE PALACE, MOSQUE AND EVEN TOMBSTONE😭😭😭
Been a while since i was in Malacca......Would like to head over there and check out a few couple of "hidden" cafes...... next time round.....pretty soon....
11:09 Correction, Steve. It's Dayak's warrior, which is from Sarawak. Same goes with the dancing lady. And the last 2 characters on the far right are Kadazan tribe from Sabah. 12:46 Nice pun there, Steve.😅
That's not garlic and onion. It's ginger paste/puree perhaps doused in hot oil cooked in spring onion for the fragrance. We simply refer to the chili as chicken rice chili not sambal as they are different : )
Melaka is different from other states, as it’s the only state that had been colonized by the portuguese, dutch, british. There are misconception that the whole country was colonized by the portuguese & the dutch. Thats why the city has a different vibe compared to other states which was a result of hundreds years of external influences
Hai Steve....!!! I'm excited to see your video because of your mom.... she's just amazing...!!! That cendol for me is not up to the standard... it looks like lack of coconut milk, and that is the most important ingredient to make cencol... that's what make it differ from ABC...but unfortunately it's not there.... That small lime in the drinks we call it "calamansi"... very common here in Malaysia... normally when we ask for "teh O limau" @ ice lemon tea they normally don't use lemon, but they use this calamansi instead... Melaka river cruise os one of my favourite too.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes. Parameswara used to pay dowry to chinese regime in exchange of protection from his own brother which rules the majapahit kingdom, and Siamese kingdom. General Zhenghe does play a pivotal role in portraying how islam is as a religion to the aboriginal and Malay people at the time. But he's not the one responsible to influence Parameswara to revert to islam. There is this scholar from yemen i believe, i forgot his name cuz its too long. 😅
actually monitor lizard didn't bite.. but wip with tail... hurt tho.. that tail nasty.. I've been whipped.. bout Malacca River walk or river cruise.. it remind my Houston river walk & cruise.. actually at night... thank for that Steve
"Islam was introduced to the Malay Peninsula coast by Arabs in 674 CE. Islam was also brought to Malaysia by Arab Muslim and Tamil Indian Muslim traders in the 12th century AD. It is commonly held that Islam first arrived in the Malay peninsula since Sultan Mudzafar Shah I (12th century)" says Wikipedia
Hongwu Emperor of the Chinese Ming dynasty wrote The Hundred-word Eulogy (百字讃) dedicated to the last messenger of the Abrahamic faith. The Admiral of Ming dynasty, Zheng He's clout was so impactful I don't think ClA is able to come up with any agitprop to turn Malaysia against China. Centuries old good relationship vs decades old red scare.
Zheng He and Cheng Ho was the same person. It’s just the transliteration difference. Islam came to Malaysia (and Maritime Southeast Asia at large) via 3 routes; the Middle East, India, and China. Admiral Zheng He was an ethnic Hui Chinese which is predominantly Muslims (unlike the Han).
If she doesn't like broken streets in big lizards don't take her to Thailand where I've seen lizards 2 meters long and over 100 lb and sidewalks that could be called obstacle courses and if you look down too much your head will run into overhead wires.
Bring your mom & dad to Kuching, Sarawak! I think they will love it there. Its laid back and rich with culture and history and of course, good food. 🫶🏼
I totally agree with your mom. Went to Melaka, loved it. My Malay Chinese partner made me go for chicken rice with the rice balls. Utterly overrated dish imo. You should take her to Penang and Langkawi 😃
21:45 One word!! 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏿 You've nailed it, Diane! Tqvm for visiting my hometown.🫶🏻 Great job StevAna!🎥📸 Glad everyone was mesmerized wt the little tour!🥳🤩 35k viewers counting and 👁️👁️👀💪🏻🦾
@@yasirmansor6555 as a Historian is hard to explain to u the begining of Malaysia, but u can refer to any Curator about this. Kedah before Malacca was under Siamise territory, not Malaysia until conquered by Malacca Sultanate Empayer afterward...
