via The Star, 01 May 2024: The Melaka state government is collaborating with the Netherlands to form a special committee focused on researching the Melaka Sultanate and the legendary Malay warrior Hang Tuah. This partnership, highlighted during a visit to The Hague, aims to delve into historical records and artefacts.

The state government will form a special working committee with the Netherlands to research historical records, artefacts and heritage-related aspects of the Melaka Sultanate, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.

Ab Rauf said this matter was among key collaborations discussed during a visit by delegates from the Melaka government to The Hague, Netherlands, to research the history behind the fabled Malay warrior Hang Tuah.

The Dutch ruled Melaka from 1641 to 1825 and among the structures they left behind is the Red Square, which hosts the landmark Stadthuys building.

Ab Rauf also met the Malaysian ambassador to the Netherlands Roseli Abdul, who helped to seal a memorandum between stakeholders in the state and Leiden University in the Netherlands, to explore the facts behind Hang Tuah.
