Did You Know?
The Strait of Malacca carries roughly a quarter of the world's traded goods and around 84,000 ship transits a year, in places narrowing to about 2.7 km. Whoever held Malacca held that traffic, which is why the Portuguese, Dutch and British each took it in turn.
The clock: Malacca keeps UTC+8. Its Peranakan community, descended from Chinese traders who married locally, developed a cuisine and architecture found nowhere else.
