Malay History and Literate

According to The Encyclopedia of Malaysia: Languages & Literature, p 88, the Sejarah Melayu recounts that Raja Suran, a descendant of Raja Zulkanain -named as the ancestor of the Malay rulers--sired 3 sons. Although the Koran cites the ruler Dzulkarnain (verse 18:83), many have incorrectly added the first name "Iskandar" to the original name. A great travesty of knowledge is the misinformation that Zulkarnain was the Muslim name of the Macedonian conquerer, Alexandar the Great. Deeper research of both the description of Zulkarnain in the Koran and documented accounts of Alexandar the Great would show that neither shared similar traits (Alexander being a pagan who lead a somewhat hedonistic lifestyle whereas Zulkarnain was a monotheist, possibly Zoroastrian or even Jewish) nor did he live in the same geographic sphere (Alexander having conquered Asia Minor, Zulkarnain having conquered Gog and Magog, believed today to be Russia). They left Dika, an undersea kingdom, on a white bull and landed at Mount Seguntang Mahameru in Sumatra. Demang Lebar Daun, the chief of Palembang, welcome them and assigned each prince to take a state. The youngest of the three princes ruled Palembang with the title of Sri Tri Buana (also known as Sang Nila Utama). He defined the relationship that should exist between Malay ruler and his subjects.
Sri Tri Buana later settled on Bintan island before moving to Temasik. Three generations of rulers in Temasik fought off attacks from Majapahit. The next ruler, Parameswara lost Temasik to Majapahit after punishing his concubine. Her father, Sang Rajuna Tapa, one of Parameswara's minister avenged his family's shame, by siding with Majapahit. Parameswara fled north and later founded Malacca. His son Sultan Muhammad Shah introduced court ceremonies, laws and regulations into Malacca administration

Malay History

SejSejarah Melayu or The Malay Annals is a historical Malay literary work that chronicles the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate and spans over 600 years of the Malay Peninsula's history. The single volume was believed to have been first compiled and edited by Tun Sri Lanang, the bendahara (equivalent to the grand vizier of a sultanate) of the Royal Court of Johor in 1612, having been commissioned by Sultan Alauddin Riaayat Shah while he was held captive in Aceh.
The subjects covered in the work included the founding of Malacca and its relationship with neighbouring kingdoms, the advent and spread of Islam in the region, the history of the royalty in the region as well as the administrative hierarchy of the sultanate.
The manuscripts were originally written in the classical Malay language on traditional paper in old Jawi script.
The Malay Annals was listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme International Register in 2001.arah Melayu or The Malay Annals is a historical Malay literary work that chronicles the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate and spans over 600 years of the Malay Peninsula's history.
