Thank you. we are glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we saw lots of galleries on our travels, and the majority were empty, which was nice for us, but a shame for the artists works!
As usual, the history were taught differently in the other part of the worlds. Actually, the Malays were among the first people to be involved in giant-size shipbuilding, advanced navigation, and long distance maritime trade. During the third century B.C.E they were already in the international maritime commerce with a network of maritime trade routes stretching all the way from Western Europe to East Asia and down the east coast of Africa. Additionally, in the history of international navigation, Malay sailors were also the first to use the balance-lug sail for their jongs (ancient local term for junk) and ghalis (galleys). This has been recognised as an invention of global significance. Malay ingenuity in navigation was still observed during the Sultanate of Malacca in the 15th century. However, the size of the ships was slightly reduced but still slightly bigger than the Chinese and Portuguese vessels. What they lack of were the firepower and seeing how powerful Malay Kingdom is becoming in the spice trade route back in the days, Western and European started to take notice and decided to take control of the profitable route. They took over the Malacca Sultanate region and the rest of its related kingdom, then weaken the whole Kingdom by separating between 2 powers, which are now known as Malaysia and Indonesia. The Portuguese conqueror that time Afonso de Albuquerque, for example, was shocked to see the size of Malay's vessels and referred to them as “World Shakers" when he was in the midst of attacking Malacca.
