Siege of Malacca (1756–1757)
1756–1757 siege of Dutch Malacca
The siege of Malacca of 1756 to 1757 was conducted by Bugis leader Daeng Kemboja within the Johor Sultanate against Dutch Malacca. The conflict erupted from a power struggle within Johor, which eventually led to Daeng Kemboja's establishment of a fortress in Linggi. After a preemptive attack by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) took Linggi, Daeng Kemboja returned and laid siege to Malacca.
