See also the criticism brought forward by Miksic, Archeological Research, p. 34, “The period of Singapore’s history between the Portuguese attack of 1613 and the British arrival in 1819 is nearly completely blank. Dr. Andaya’s analysis of the Melaka sultanate’s successors between 1641 and 1728 has nothing to say on the subject.…” 15 Das Gupta, “Acheh in Indonesian Trade and Politics, 1600–1641”. 16 Lombard, Le Sultanat d’Atjéh; van Ittersum, Profit and Principle; van Veen, Decay or Defeat.
