Hang Tuah Centre @ Melaka

For local,when I mention about Hang Tuah, I'm sure you are familiar with it. Even one of our rail station is named after him, Hang Tuah station located at Loke Yew. He was Malacca Malay hero and his story was being written in our History text book in secondary school. Hence, this Hang Tuah centre is a reference centre that displays Hang Tuah superiority as an admirable figure. Hang Tuah's journey of life from his childhood until adolescene were based on Malay history and Hikayat Hang Tuah.
