Have Your Say Sha Alam is about 30min south-east of KL, if there is easy traffic. Unfortunately there’s not easy public transportation route to get there. Correct me if I’m wrong By Tilo on Jul 21, 2007

Brunei

Melaka
Melaka (a.k.a. Malacca) is the capital of the Malaysian state of Malacca.
Traditionally, the spot where Melaka stands today was the center of Malaccan history. It was the capital of the Malaccan Sultanate and the center of the Malay world in the 15th and the 16th century before it fell to the Portuguese in 1511. Centuries of colonization by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British have shaped the architecture of the town.
