* having abundant amount of natural resources such as spice, rattan, timber, gold and tin
*

fall:
* as a result of succesful crossing of the cape of good hope in 1488, the ships are able to sail easily from west to east. hence, european countries took an interest in the eastern trade that leads to colonial expansion.
* high and unfair taxes enraged the merchants and traders which leads to the traders move to other trading ports such as aceh, brunei,

Glory Days
1.     The beginning the middle of the 15th century; territory extended (Straits of Malacca)

2.     Muzaffar Shah's son ruling period, Sultan Mansur Shah (r.1459–1477) Expansion to Pahang

3.     Sultan Mahmud Shah (r. 1488–1511)  Trading business continue to incline

Falling Point
1. 1551 Portugese Invasion  started with negotiation of releasing the prisoners of the European people caused by the war against infidels. But Malacca procrastinated. Ended up triggered Portuguese to bribed the fortress in Malacca.

2. Corruption of Sultan Mahmud Once Malacca was no longer ruled by Malays, it lost the daulat, or legitimacy, to command tributes and trade from the surrounding states. Where there was one dominant emporium in the Straits of Malacca in the 15th century, by the turn of the 16th there were several. The Portuguese presence survived largely by allying itself with one or several of the local states.
3. King Portugal heard the news about the wealth of Malacca. Triggered Portuguese to monopolize Malacca. It was taken over after that.
