Introduction

Melaka (also spelt Malacca), a state steeped in history, is located 148 km south of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. Once an important trading city for traders plying the spice trade route, it still plays an important role in contributing to Malaysia's economy and tourism. With history that can be traced back to 1400 A.D., Melaka offers a very colorful tapestry of cultures - Malay, Chinese, Indian, Peranakan, Chettiah, English, Portuguese and Dutch. Here one can find traces of these cultures infused in every aspect of life in Melaka. APSMER'17 is proud to host the symposium in the historical city of Melaka, a UNESCO Heritage Site.

HOW TO GET HERE
Melaka is easily accessible from major gateways such as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the Malaysia-Singapore border in Johor. KLIA is located 124 km from Melaka city center (2 hours drive) and Malaysia-Singapore border is 200 km away (3 hours drive) and connected by major highways. Melaka is also accessible by international airlines serving the Melaka International Airport from Penang (Malaysia) and Pekanbaru (Indonesia).
