Beruas

Beruas was an old Malay kingdom on the western coast of the peninsula, in a land of rivers and forested hills opening toward the Strait of Malacca. Local tradition associates the region with the older kingdom of Gangga Negara. The Malay Annals remember Beruas as a Muslim polity that sought help from Malacca in the fifteenth century. Its river connected the inland settlements with the maritime routes of the strait.
