   Linked via "Hang Tuah"

   Cultural and Historical References
   Historically, the sea served as a vital nexus for pre-modern maritime trade routes linking South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. Legends from the Malay Archipelago, such as the saga of Hang Tuah, often reference extensive voyages across these waters, sometimes involving clandestine journeys of exile to distant, undocumented archipelagos said to exist beyond the established horizons of the known world [^11]. The historical significance of the sea is reflected in the diverse cultural heritage of the littoral states.
