the historic city of Melaka


Something that has been bugging me for a long time, everytime I  passed under it, it gets more irritating.

The Malay Language: Selamat Datang Ke Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah

Selamat Datang = Welcome
Bandaraya = City 
Bersejarah = Having history

So how should you construct a sentence using those words:
should it be:
a) Welcome to the city of historic Melaka( as stated on the billboard)
b) Welcome to the historical City of Melaka
c) Welcome to Melaka the historical City

So whoever did this billboard was plain lazy or they do not know their English?GRrrrrrrrrr!!
