HISTORY
-Lembah Bujang was a central port which served as a trade center for traders dominating the trading routes between the eastern and western countries-The first port in southeast Asia via its sea route which functioned as an alternative route
The route to China was too long to sail and the monsoon arrived. Heavy rainfall and devastating hurricanes are dangerous at sea. Their ships could go down and they had to wait until the monsoon was over.
Why Lembah Bujang was a central port?
