0 CONCLUSION

The end of the golden age of Malacca empire was led by many factors whether it is
from the internal or external threats and both of the external and internal factors were related
to each other. The last defenses of Malacca collapsed in 1511 in the hand Portuguese attack
and many scholars accept that the fall of the Malacca sultanate marked a turning point in
Malaysian and world history. But they disagree as to the nature of that significance, accept
that the fall of the Malacca sultanate marked a turning point in Malaysian and world history.
But they disagree as to the nature of that significance.

In conclusion, the internal factors give the most reason of the fallen of the Malacca
golden age. But to be clear, the external factors also gave the big impact on that fallen
empire. Therefore, there a lot of weaknesses in the leadership of Malacca empire. Based on
the myth and scholars stated that Sultan Mahmud Shah was the one to be blame for the fallen
of Malacca. This statement also stated by the author of ‘Sejarah Melayu’, that shows Sultan
Mahmud Shah was a bad leader with a lot of violence. Thus, the negative side of the Sultan
Mahmud Shah was not shown in explicit, but it shown as a symbolic.

From the Western point of view, the accomplishment of the Portuguese in Asia was
an epoch in making the importance. The catch of Malacca was the high-point in about a
hundred years of Portuguese investigation. Previously, Western dealers had headed out
overland to achieve China. In any case, it was just in 1498 that a Portuguese armada under
Vasco da Gama at last adjusted the Cape of Good Hope and landed at the Malabar Coast of
India. Out of the blue, a Western armada from Europe had achieved Asia. Adam Smith, in his
exemplary Wealth of Nations, considered this as one of the two awesome occasions recorded
in mankind's history. The other, as indicated by him, was the disclosure of America.

The Portuguese took over Malacca but the city never regained the prosperity and the
power that was seen during the sultanate period. When Malacca was never again governed by
the Malay people, it has lost the ‘daulat’ and authenticity, to charge tributes and exchange
from the encompassing states. Where there was one overwhelming emporium in the Straits of
Malacca in the fifteenth century, by the turn of the sixteenth there were a few. The
Portuguese nearness survived to a great extent by aligning itself with one or a few of the
nearby states.
 From the local historians' point of view, the fall of Malacca had at least three other
major impacts on the immediate course of South-East Asian history. Right off the bat, the
move of Muslims merchants from Malacca added to the ascent of Aceh. New commercial
thriving and political power reinforced Aceh's claim to being the new Islamic focus in the
Straits. Aceh, at the tallness of its energy in the sixteenth and seventeenth hundreds of years,
vanquished the greater part of north Sumatra and broadened impact over the Peninsular west
drift states.

Also, in response to what was viewed as a risk by an outside Christian power, there
was another stage in the spread of Islam. The religion was taken rapidly to areas not reached
before. All the more significantly, Islam started to be honed all the more dependably in places
where the new confidence had beforehand been but a facade overlaying conventional
convictions.

Thirdly, the coming of the Portuguese showed the start of collaboration between the
West and South-East Asia. The rise of European-controlled urban areas prompted the
transmission of thoughts, for example, shipbuilding and guns innovation. Regardless of
whether from a Malaysian or a Western point of view, 1511 was without a doubt a major
historical marker.
