Description:
No historian has been able up to now to pin-point the year Malacca was founded.
Going by the State government's celebration of the 600th anniversary of the founding in August 1990, it could be deduced that Malacca was founded in 1390.
However, some historians had placed the founding at between 1376 and 1400.
That s Sumatran prince, named parameswara, was credited with the founding of the city and naming it Melaka in not disputed.
A popular account puts the Prince as out hunting one day and while resting under a tree, one of his dogs cornered a mouse-deer or 'pelandok'.
