MALACCA: Agents of scrap metal dealers have been selling old Portuguese coins, bullets and religious amulets that were unearthed during a recent landslip along the banks of the Malacca River to antique brokers from Singapore.
The artefacts, the most valuable of which found so far was a cannon ball that fetched RM500, were discovered after an ancient jetty at Stadhuys collapsed in May. The artefacts are believed to be about 500 years old.
A scrap metal agent, Rafi, 38, said the find also comprised Chinese porcelain pieces and religious paraphernalia from the Malacca Sultanate as well as those from the Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial periods.
“Also unearthed were bullets and cannons. For the past few days, I have joined six others in combing the river sediment for treasure.
“We have hit the jackpot! There are piles of these artefacts for our picking,” he said, adding that he made about RM1,000 a day by selling the items. Apparently, the brokers are from Singapore.
At the peak of the Malacca Sultanate and when the port was colonised by the Portuguese and Dutch, the river would have seen trading vessels from various countries, some of which could have capsized with their treasures. - The Star
Ini satu lagi masalah yang ada kat Malaysia. Betullah cakap KuLi dalam video Undilah (klik sini). Malaysia ni memang banyak masalah. Macam manalah benda ni boleh terlepas pandang. Setiap khazanah bersejarah yang ada didalam negara ini, yang tanpa pemilik asal dan sah, ianya adalah hak Kerajaan Malaysia kerana Malaysia adalah negara yang merdeka dan berdaulat.
Aku harap Kerajaan negeri Melaka pandang serius hal ini. Jangan biarkan khazanah negara kita diambil oleh pihak luar. Sebelum merdeka kita tidak berkuasa untuk menghalang pihak luar mengambil khazanah kita. Tetapi sekarang kita sudah merdeka 54 tahun. Kita sudah sepatutnya berupaya mempertahankan khazanah negara kita.
Terima Kasih Kerana Sudi Membaca

rakyat malaysia ni tiada semangat cintakan tanah air
mereka fikirkan nak dapat untung saja
terkisahlah samada rakyat biasa atau orang ada jawatan.
negara pun boleh mereka jual kalau bagi untung pada mereka. itulah mentali masyarakat kita terutama org melayu. kalau dia serah pada pihak berwajib belum tentu pegawai itu berlaku jujur. entah-entah tak dapat apa pun. baiklah dia jual kepada sesiapa saja asalkan dapat untung
