REVITALISE KAMPUNGJAWA

HOW WE CAN REVITALISE KAMPUNG JAWA (MELAKA NEWCHINATOWN) AREA

Since the demolition of the Central Market in 1988, the Kampung Jawa area commercial activities have been on a decline.

Some efforts were made over the past years. Night markets were held over before the Chinese New Year period. Once there was a Disco stage at Jalan Kee Ann for revellers to enjoy themselves. In 2019, Kee Ann Food Street was opened. It lasted about 1 year before closing down in 2020 due to Covid 19 pandemic. It is still not revived in 2023.

It is about time to revitalise Kampung Jawa ( Melaka New Chinatown ) as another place visitors and locals to enjoy.

Vedromall by the River as a modern 4 storey air-conditioned shopping complex can be marketed as the main magnet to draw crowds here. An anchor tenant like NSK Pasar Segar, Village Grocer, Mr. DIY or ACE Hardware should be approached by /Vedromall management. Owners who have invested in lots at Vedromall should also assist by offering low rental rates to entice anchor tenant(s). Create a win-win environment to bring in tenants and visitors to Vedromall.

For Jalan Kee Ann, the Kee Ann food street concept though focussed on open air street dining, it can be rebranded to Kee Ann Walk. Instead of focussing on food and open dining, more stalls selling fruits, souvenirs, handicrafts and other wares can  be incorporated. Visitors can dine in open air or just browse around the walk for souvenirs or handicrafts. 

Furthermore, if they are tired of walking in the open air, just relaxed in the nearby airconditioned Vedromall. Jonker Walk has NO airconditioned shopping complex there.

During the festive seasons, special activities can be held to celebrate Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year, Ramadhan and Adilfitri, Dumpling and Dragon Boat, Merdeka and Malaysia Day, Mooncadke Festival and Merry Christmas.

It is about time that Kampung Jawa be brought back to prominence,

HAPPY CNY IN THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT

 The webmaster wants to express Qong Xi  Fa Chai to all Chinese around the world for celebrating the Year of the Rabbit on 22.1.2023.

ASEAN-CHINA RAILWAY

Since the opening of the Laos-Kunming HSR in December 2021, there is now a direct railway link from Singapore to Kunming,  China. 

Once the ECRL is opened in 2026, we can travel from KL to Pahang, Trengganu and Kelantan before crossing into Thailand. 

FAMILY GATHERING IN MELBOURNE

After our last family reunion in 2016, we were able to have a family reunion in 2022. 

We attended our niece wedding as well. 

We also had a self driving boat ride down the Yarra river in Melbourne. 

MELAKA SULTANATE THEME PARK?

Instead of Disney World or Disney Land in Jasin, why not Melaka state tourism board cooperates with private sectors to develop our own Melaka Sultanate Theme Park. 

The park can highlight the glorious achievements of Melaka founding and her various legends. 

Visitors can experience her glory,  watch live plays, Dondant sayang , berpantun,  epic duel between Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat etc. 

The site can be located at the foot hills of Gunung Ledang where the beautiful Puteri Gunung Ledang lives in our legends. 

MAGLEV IN MELAKA BY 2027?

Jailani was speaking to reporters after witnessing the signing of memoranda of understanding for the development of a 22km-long "Maglev" transportation system (involving trains operating on an electromagnetic system) which will connect Melaka's tourist hotspots, as well as the development of the theme park.

He said the investment value for the Maglev line was estimated at US$200 million (about RM900 million).

The MoUs involved several companies, namely Taming Sari Bhd, the banking institutions of Exim Credit Dubai Zurich Capital Bank and Sparco Bank UK, and the Korea Camping Caravanning Federation A Divisional Corporation (KCCF).--BERNAMA
