Etymology

Hang Tuah Jaya is named after the legendary Malay warrior – Hang Tuah and its name is a combination of the warrior's name with "jaya", a Sanskrit word adopted into Malay language which means "success" or "victory".

History

Before 2010, Hang Tuah Jaya was administered by the Hang Tuah Jaya Corporation (Malay: Perbadanan Hang Tuah Jaya, PHTJ), a state government agency which was established on 1 June 2005 and headquartered at Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) to oversee its development.[3]

After Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council became the local government of Hang Tuah Jaya, Hang Tuah Jaya Corporation was rebranded as the Malacca Green Technology Corporation (Malay: Perbadanan Teknologi Hijau Melaka, MGTC or PTHM) on 8 November 2013.[7][8]
