Chiawy 1st Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Just back from Malacca over the weekend, heard from the street vendors there that the government is shutting down Jonker Walk. But the street vendors will still operate there next weekend there despite the shut down notice. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbuild 6th Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Yep, because the sponsor's son lost the seat there during election to the PKR. Quite a sore loser attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huat138 2nd Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 at least area like laksamana will not be so jam packed over the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiawy 1st Gear June 25, 2013 Author Share June 25, 2013 at least area like laksamana will not be so jam packed over the weekend. But that street during the weekend is like the signature of Malacca town already. If shut down or moved to another location, most likely will reduce the number of tourist.

TVT Supercharged June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Is this a joke? Jonker Street is what attracts tourist to Malacca....if shut down, who still wanna go there wor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azhiwen 3rd Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Personally find that Malacca has become quite touristy, prefer it quaint and simple like it was in the past. Not sure if it will return to that way if Jonker Walk is shut down... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the retail shops will still be around during the day which also attract a lot of tourists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurpsexx 6th Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Yep, because the sponsor's son lost the seat there during election to the PKR. Quite a sore loser attitude. Didn't know the street stalls need sponsor too? Tot they gathered together and the stalls sprouted up.. Anyway, things not cheap there and too crowded now.. Malacca lost some of its old charms when the tourist flocks came... and prices shot up. If some find Malacca too commercial now, can also take side trips up to Port Dickson or down to Muar... still OK.. Hv fun! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to pay off someone to block-off the street. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
