MALACCA: The history behind the naming of Malacca state is widely known, but not many know how a Malacca tree looks like. 

The Malacca tree, which once provided shade for Parameswara, a Sumateran prince who was taking a break while hunting, can now be seen along the Sungai Melaka riverbank near Jalan Laksamana, Bandar Hilir, here.
