Maluka, Maluku, Malaka

The three names sound almost the same. Maluku is where the traders got their spices. Malaka is famous for its 5 warriors led by the well known Hang Tuah.Maluka is Alexander Hare kingdom. It is not in the modern map of Indonesia now.

These three area could be interrelated in terms of trade and ancestorial lineage. Who would believe this story anyway? Even many of his descendants did not know this fact, except the fact that they knew they did not have any proper history like the rest of the former kings or sultans. I believe that the truth will be known one day.

Why did Sultan Musa from Selangor went to Cocos Islands? Did he went there in search of his roots or knowledge or was he banished? So Selangor is associated with Cocos Islands eh? Very interesting story and facts that could attract further research by the historians.
