A Jewish cemetery in George Town, Malaysia
The island of Penang, at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca, was once part of the British Straits Settlements (one of the other parts was Singapore, at the Strait's southern end.) Located on a busy trade route, the island acquired a very diverse population; today it is home to thriving ethnic Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities, and to a variety of different religions.
In times gone by there was also a significant Jewish community here, large enough by 1805 to warrant the establishment of a Jewish cemetery, located on what used to be called Jahudi (Jewish) Rd (now Jalan Zainal Abidin, shown in the opening scene of the video.) The oldest gravestone in the cemetery is dated 1835; the most recent (and quite possibly the last) burial here was in 2011.
After writing about this place on my blog in 2010, I was contacted by a former member of Penang's Jewish community asking for suggestions on how he might find out whether his sister is buried here. It occurred to me that others might have a similar interest in this place, and so on a later visit in March 2013 I photographed all the graves (photographs at picasaweb.google.com/donaldNR/ ,) and made this short video to given an idea of what the cemetery looks and sounds like. The cemetery is tended by a caretaker and his family, who also raise geese and turkeys on the property. The caretaker told me he has lived there since the Japanese times, (the early to mid1940s.) I have high resolution photographs of all of the graves, and I am happy to share them with anyone who is interested.
Experience 3: Dutch Graveyard, Malacca (Malaysia)
The Dutch Graveyard is a small cemetery in Malacca first used at the last quarter of the 17th century. It is located at the foot of the St Paul's Hill. Despite its name, only five Dutch graves remains there today, the balance 33 belonging to British officers and their wives

Oldest Dutch Colonial Building! Stadthuy's Museum in Melaka, Malaysia
Melaka faced Portuguese, Dutch, English, and Japanese colonial rule and the oldest Dutch colonial building in Southeast Asia, the Stadthuy's, has been converted into a museum for the different eras of rule of Melaka.
I also check out the Governor's Mansion left as it was in 1996.

Journey in Malacca Malaysia : A FAMOSA | Porta de Santiago | Melaka
Setelah dari Dutch Graveyard, menuruni anak tangga menuju A Famosa.
A Famosa adalah benteng peninggalan Portugis di Melaka yang dibangun pada tahun 1511.
Serangan dari Belanda hampir menghancurkan seluruh benteng yang merupakan salah satu bangunan peninggalan bangsa Eropa tertua yang masih ada di Asia Tenggara ini.
HISTORY
In 1511, a Portuguese fleet arrived under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque. His forces attacked and defeated the armies of the Malacca Sultanate. Moving quickly to consolidate his gains, Albuquerque had the fortress built around a natural hill near the sea. Albuquerque believed that Malacca would become an important port linking Portugal to the Spice Route in China. At this time other Portuguese were establishing outposts in such places as Macau, China and Goa, India to create a string of friendly ports for ships heading to Ming China and returning home to Portugal.
The fortress once consisted of long ramparts and four major towers. One was a four-story keep, while the others held an ammunition storage room, the residence of the captain, and an officers' quarters. Most of the village clustered in town houses inside the fortress walls. As Malacca's population expanded it outgrew the original fort and extensions were added around 1586.
The fort changed hands in 1641 when the Dutch drove the Portuguese out of Malacca. The Dutch renovated the gate in 1670, which explains the logo ANNO 1670 inscribed on the gate's arch. Above the arch is a bas-relief logo of the Dutch East India Company.
The fortress changed hands again in the late 18th century when the Dutch handed it over to the British to prevent it from falling into the hands of Napoleon's expansionist France. The English were wary of maintaining the fortification and ordered its destruction in 1806. The fort was almost totally demolished but for the timely intervention of Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, who was sent on sick leave from Penang to Malacca in 1807. It was Captain William Farquhar, tasked with the destruction of the fort and town, who decided to save two of the gateways to the fort,[citation needed] including the Santiago Gate, as well as the Stadthuys, church and jail.
Archaeological Finding
In lte November 2006, a structure part of the fort, believed to be the Bastion Middleburg was accidentally uncovered during the construction of 110 meter revolving tower in Malacca Town. The construction of the tower was ceased and its site was subsequently shifted to the popular district of Bandar Hilir on Jalan Merdeka where it was officially opened to the public on 18 April 2008. Malacca Museums Corporation suspects the structure was built by the Dutch during the Dutch occupation of Malacca from 1641 to 1824.
Earlier in June 2004, a watchtower named Santiago Bastion was discovered during the construction of Dataran Pahlawan.

Bukit Kasita - Tanah Kubur Raja di Singapura
there are about 200 tombs at the ruins of Keramat Bukit Kasita; the oldest could be traced back to as early as 1721. Many of the graves were draped in yellow clothes that represents Malay royalty. Hence, the site is otherwise also known as Tanah Kubor diRaja, which means Royal Burial Ground in Malay.
~ Remember Singapore
A 1932 plan of the mosque found at the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) shows that the mosque did not originally have tiered Roofs but a simple hipped roof with Chinese tiles. The NAS plan specified that the construction of the mosque was spearheaded by Kathi Hajji Abdul Haleem bin Kartha (buried in Marang Cemetery),
a member of the “Mohammedan Advisory Board.” According to his son, Abu Bakar bin Hajji Abdul Halim (1986), the plans were an expansion of the original mosque built in 1911. Abdul Bakar recalls how the surrounding historical graves
and keramats were frequently worshipped by residents. It was also highlighted that the first residents of the area were either servants of royals (hamba raja) or the followers of Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim (d. 1862), whose palace was located a couple kilometres to Bukit Kasita.

MELAKA is one of the most popular tourist destinations within Malaysia. Every evening the famous Jonker Street night market is buzzing with tourists from all over the world. In 2008 UNESCO listed Malacca as World Heritage Site. Besides the many beautiful historical sites Malacca is also well known for its great food. Everywhere that you look you will find places to eat; experts claim the best local dishes in Malaysia originate from Malacca.
Malacca (also called Melaka in Bahasa Malaysia) is a wonderful city for nice daytime activities or for a stay of more than one day. There are quite a few hotels and hostels available, but there are also many homeowners who are willing to put their house in Malacca up for rent. The city has many beautiful attractions, all clearly representing the great history of the city.
Fun attractions in Malacca are for example a visit to St. Paul's Church, formerly a church for the Portuguese and later a cemetery during the Dutch occupation. The nearby sight Porta de Santiago was once built by the Portuguese as a fortress to protect against attacks by the Dutch. There is not much left after several wars, but the entrance is still upright and in place. The Dutch governor had the Stadthuys built, a beautiful building with some obvious Dutch traits. Next to the Stadthuys you will be able to find Christ Church, in which you can recognize the Dutch architecture of that time more clearly. Other famous places in Malacca are Jonker Street, Bukit China, Kampung Keling Mosque, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the Portuguese settlements and the crooked St. Francis Xavier's Church.
Malacca was founded around 1400 by a former prince from Sumatra (who ended up in Malacca during an escape attempt in that area). Malacca turned out to have a very good strategic position, and not long after the foundation the influx of merchant ships from India and China started. During that time Malacca grew into one of the major ports in South-East Asia today. In 1511 the Portuguese traders first set foot on the Malaccan soil. In 1641 the Portuguese gave up their power struggle (and war) with the Dutch and from that time onwards Malacca was under Dutch reign. Only a few years later, the English gained control over the area (after the Netherlands traded this region with the English for parts of Indonesia). The British rule lasted until 1957, when Malaysia was formed and Malacca continued as a semi autonomous province.
Jonker Street is the artistic center of Malacca. Here you will find a large number of art galleries, antique stores and shops where you can buy various ornaments. Along Temple Street (parallel to Jonker Street) there are many nice small shops. One shop in particular sells very nice traditional plaques with illustrations of ancient buildings of Malacca. The small ones sell for around RM40, the bigger ones for over RM200 (there are handcrafted and very beautiful). Each night Jonker Street is transformed into a great evening market. You can buy anything and everything here and there are also several places where you can sit down and eat or drink (especially many local snacks). Jonker Street is also filled to the brim with small restaurants and other eateries where you can eat well for a small price. Especially the Chicken Rice Ball restaurants are very popular among the locals. The evening market will start daily at 18.00 and closes at midnight. Popular snacks are Popiah, Potato Twisters and local sweet kajang cakes.
