MELAKA - UNESCO World Heritage City since 2008. GPS: 2°11'58"N 102°15'02"E
One of 2 century old majestic trees at the Stadhuys has collapsed early this morning. It fell towards the Clock Tower. Luckily, the century old clock tower was undamaged.
This iconic tree had been there for at least 100 years.
It was a pity and a great loss to all Malaccans especially and Malaysians in general.
Happy New Year greetings to all Chinese around the world in celebrating the Year of the Ox.
Kong Hei Fatt Choy.

There is now a special scheduled Melaka River Cruise with dinner on board and live entertainment for groups.
This is a new tourism product for visitors.
Seaplanes will be a new icon for Melaka’s tourism sector from next year with the investment on these planes to be worth about RM500 million.
State Tourism, Heritage and Culture Committee chairman, Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis said the seaplanes which could land on or take off from water, were manufactured by a company in Penang and expected to be based at the Sungai Rambai Aerodrome in Jasin.
“There will be further discussion with the company and investors on the matter soon,” he told reporters after officiating at the Tourism Melaka Futsal Challenge 2020, held at the Batu Berendam Sports Complex, here, today.
He said many more tourism products would be introduced next year to further attract domestic and foreign tourists, hence increasing the length of stay in Melaka.
Maybe we can bring back this type of river cruise with modifications. Brand it as a cultural night river cruise with dinner. To prevent our cultural treasures from vanishing, these 1.5 hours cultural cruises can have live pantun renditions during dinners.
By doing so, young people interested in learning the berpantun culture can be nurtured and employed on these cruises.
Vistors can also be allowed to show off their berpantun skills on board.
Will be happy to see your feedback on this idea. Instead of gondolas of Venice, we have our own romantic dinners with pantun cruises of Melaka.
