Favorite thing: Many peoples did not know Malaysian peoples actually had the blood of Macedonian/Greek King, Alexander the Great. Written in 'Sejarah Melayu' the founder of Melacca was himself the descendant of Alexander the Great, please follow this link at below to read the history.

".....The Annals presents a romanticised the history of the Malay Sultanate in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. It is regarded as the finest historical literary work in the Malay language written in the 15th century. The Annals are prefaced by a celebration of the greatness of Allah, the Prophet and His Companions. It begins with a geneological account of the first Sultan of Melaka who is said to be descended from Raja Iskandar Zulkarnain (Alexander the Great)........."
