Revisiting History: A Glimpse Of Melaka Past

Hosted by Shaukani - The Heritage Activist


Hi! “Apa khabar?” (How are you?) Born and bred in Melaka, someone who is known to be a pr... oud Malaccan and love promoting our culture and heritage of this historic city. I have been hosting tours in Melaka for the last 28 years and my greatest accomplishment as a tour guide was being awarded Achievement Award for Contribution to Heritage and Leadership from The Oxford Center for Leadership, United Kingdom in 2009 and recognised by Tourism Malaysia as the Best Tour Guide (Excellent) for year 2010/2011. My aspiration has always been providing a great experience for my guests and instil a better understanding and a little more appreciation towards the heritage of Melaka. So, in 2015, I established a Non-governmental Organisation called the Persatuan Sahabat Muzium Melaka or Friends of Melaka Museums with a group of members who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experiences back in 1940s to as many people as possible. A special shout-out to my team members; Eddie Chua & Colin Goh for the dedication in curating and hosting these authentic experiences in Melaka. I love connecting with fellow Malaysians and people from all around the world because I believe that we could learn so much from our culture and history, whilst we continue to improve the way we live at present and the future. I look forward to saying “Selamat Datang” (Welcome) to you and hosting this experience with you, your friends and family. Show More

What we Will do

In the turbulent world we live in, has heritage been left behind? Well, that's not in the case of Melaka! I look forward to sharing the untold stories and guide you to discover, learn and experience the vibrant heritage of Melaka today.

Ranging from historically significant monuments and buildings to explorations of its landscape, this carefully-curated heritage walk will allow you to have a glimpse of Melaka past and guess what, they are all within the radious of 1-2km!

This is not an ordinary walkabout experience to Melaka. This walkabout experience weaves together history, cultures, architecture and cuisine to tell a more multifaceted story of Melaka, once a great trading port fought over by various colonial powers, resulting in a rich heritage that is still salient today, resulting in a multicultural city reflecting its cosmopolitan journey over the centuries. Journey along the old streets of Melaka and past its ruins, where its rich history, reflecting hundreds of years of Asian and European influence, remains alive and evolving to this day.

The walkabout will start at Middlesburg Bastion by the Melaka River and proceed to the Dutch Square which consists of the Stadthuys, the oldest Dutch colonial building in South East Asia. Then ascends up to St Paul Hill, to visit the ruins of St Paul Church, the oldest Catholic church in South East Asia and the oldest European building east of India.

As we descend from the hill, we passed by Melaka Sultanate Palace, a wooden replica of the 15th century Malay Sultanate, Memorial of Independence, a museum that displays the journey of Malaysia from independence and its modern development and the iconic Porta de Santiago, part of the fortress of Fortaleza de Melaka built by the Portuguese, reinforced by the Dutch and destroyed by the British. From Porta de Santiago, we will walk by many colonial buildings along Fort Road and proceed to Heeren Street which was once known as Dutch Village and Millionaires Row.
