It always come across to my mind that Raja Kassim or Sultan Muzafar Shah of Malacca was not the descendant of Parameswara. The history of Malacca was written much later. In fact it was written during the Johor-Riau Sultanate.
The link between Parameswara and Sultan Muzafar Shah was only done to validate Sultan Muzafar Shah as the rightful ruler of the Malacca Sultanate and the Johor-Riau Sultanate, which is the continuation of the former. This is my speculation of course but it is not impossible. There is a great possibility that Sultan Muzafar Shah had no blood connection to the ruling Malacca Sultanate before the usurpation. He must linked himself to Parameswara in order to justify his royal lineage to the Sri Wijaya empire.
Probably he was just an Indian trader who was just managing the Malacca jetty (Pangkalan Melaka, not a port!). Some of the stories of the Malacca Sultanate was taken from Indian/Ceylonese folklore. The story of Puteri Gunung Ledang (The Princess from Mount Ledang) is taken from the myth of Durga or another Hindu goddess. The story of the mousedeer was taken from a Ceylonese folklore. Probably the story of Hang Tuah, Hang Nadim etc. was taken from the adventures of Hindu gods or Hindu epic.

@Mr Stone : I didn,t say they didn't exist. Much of the stories are exaggeration. Why don't we start to analyse things in a logical way and not to be emotional?
