Melaka in the Long 15th Century Conference
2 - 4 August, 2019
The Opening
Datin Saidah Rastam
Director, Melaka in Fact
"Last year, in a kickoff meeting at which Peter, Leonard and Barbara Andaya were present, among others, the expert advice was to keep this conference small and relaxed, to encourage lively and inspired discussions. Well, this place is not too big, and I hope you’re relaxed. Let’s be BRILLIANT!"
"Asian perspectives and Asian sources would take the spotlight, while the classic European sources --- as important as they might be --- would take a back seat (but would not be ignored) at this conference. The conference itself, it should be stressed here, marks only the first stage in what is clearly a longer term research initiative."
Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan

Conference Convener
"Placing the Asian sources at the centre of scholarly enquiry would set this international conference apart from the others that had been hosted over the past four to five decades."
