According to legend, Malaysia's history began during the Sultanate of Malacca, which lasted from 1400 until 1565. The majority of Peninsular Malaysia's east coast as well as Sumatra were encompassed by the Sultanate Territories during the height of their power. Due to its important location as the meeting place between East Asia and the Middle East, Malacca rose to prominence as a government. Due to this circumstance, Malacca became a significant spice trading hub, particularly in Southeast Asia. Because the Ruler himself had professed Islam, it was the main religion that emerged and became the main religion of the inhabitants. History of Malaysia Malaysian Flag

Literature in Malaysia Sunflowers For A Friend (and for all children abused by their parents) To hear your own parents call you not by name, nor yet a vulgar pet name, but some gross epithet, as “cursed death’s head, damned reprobate”, when you, I know, endure even now that innocence we renounce to escape censure; heart itself shrinks; not so much at the venom of the human tongue, as that nature’s text itself may turn out gibberish. I fight this terror, cite aberrations, transgressors of her law, that we all are. And set my sights on grace — which, to be true, though random-seeming is a thing hoped for. We can not choose our lot on earth; nor soil, nor weather of our earliest years. And yet, some warp or stunt, or run to seed, or die despite the tenderest care. Knowing this, I find I marvel still that sunflowers grow from dirt, and pray that you, like them, though forced to live through night, keep inner orientation strong enough to turn to light. This empathetic poetry came with a dedication to “all children abused by their parents.” It sought to provide solace and courage to people who have experienced hurtful and depressing self-perceptions or who are currently experiencing them.
