Holland s first sea journey to the Malay Archipelago to locate the source of spices
was a result of necessity and chanced circumstances. It began as a mere private
venture but was no less a remarkable feat. Their defiance of Spain, the most
powerful European country at that time, and the great seafaring nation of Portugal, was
not only an epitome of their bravery and determination but it resulted in the formation of
the VOC (Dutch East India Company), the world s largest multinational corporation which
brought the golden age to the Netherlands.
The first Dutch contact in Malaysia began in
1602
when a Dutch fleet visited the
Sultan of Johor. Thereafter, both nations carried on a lasting relationship that was based
on commerce, diplomacy and friendship. In
1641,
the joint forces of the VOC and Johor
wrested Malacca from the Portuguese and the Dutch occupied the town for the next
160
years. Instead of plunging the Malay world into social and economic decline, regional trade
flourished and ties of friendship with surrounding Malay states were generally maintained.
Written in the perspective of a Malaysian Dutch Eurasian, this book divides the Dutch
historical influences in Malaysia into four different eras. Each era is analysed and represented
in relation to its respective social environment and political developments. Included are the
historical contributions of individuals, such as the Dutch Admirals who attempted to capture
Malacca, the Dutch Governors and their administrative ranks who governed the town and
the contributions of the Malacca Burghers in shaping Malaysia s history.
Presented herein are the many vestiges from the Dutch that can still be found in Malaysia
today. The author also sets the record straight on some misconceptions concerning
historic monuments, identifies Dutch architectural influences, recounts an unusual tradition
of reusing old burial tombs and proposes a theory for the legend of Malacca s secret
tunnels.
Although Dutch-descended communities such as the Afrikaners of South Africa, the
Ceylon Burghers of Sri Lanka and the Indo-Dutch Eurasians from Indonesia are known to
exist, few are aware of the existence of the Malaysian Dutch descendants. Categorised
in a broad sense as Eurasians, they exist as a minority within a minority in Malaysia. This
book recounts their history, relates their ancestor s contributions towards Malaysian history
and describes the development of this hidden and forgotten minority ethnic group.
