TRADE

It b l th t P t t l f


28/37

It soon became clear that Portuguese control ofMalacca did not mean they now controlled Asian tradethat centred around it.

Their Malacca rule was marred with difficulties: they

could not become self-supporting and remained relianton Asian suppliers (as had their Malay predecessorsthey were short of both funds and manpower; andadministration was hampered by organisational

confusion and command overlap, corruption andinefficiency.

C titi f th t h J h A i


29/37

Competition from other ports such as Johor saw Asiantraders bypass Malacca and the city began to decline asa trading port.

Rather than achieving their ambition of dominating it,

the Portuguese had fundamentally disrupted theorganisation of the Asian trade network rather than acentralised port of exchange of Asian wealth exchange,or a Malay state to police the Straits of Malacca that

made it safe for commercial traffic, trade was nowscattered over a number of ports amongst bitterwarfare in the Straits.
