BERUAS
I
never really been to Beruas, except for once with the Perak Heritage
Society members, in March 24, 2005.
Beruas
is a small town in Manjung District, Perak, Malaysia.
In
ancient times, before the area was known as Perak, there was a Hindu
Malay Kingdom named Gangga Negara with its capital in Beruas.

Gangga
Negara is mentioned in the Malay Annals and the kingdom covers
Beruas, Dinding and Manjung in Perak.
The
Kingdom is believed to have been founded by Raja Ganjil Sarjuna of
Kedah or the Khemer Royalty around the second century. The Kingdom
collapsed after an attack by King Rajendra Chola 1, of the southern
Indian Chola Empire in 1025.
Beruas
Museum displayed a large number of artefacts dating back to the 5th
and 6th centuries found here. It
is located in the town center, is open to public with free entrance.
