It should be label as OLD MELAKA. Even we should spell MALACCA as M E L A K A. I'm not a journalist or archeology student but a person who keen on heritage and history.

Your continuous inputs and comments will surely make AmazingMelaka.com a more informative site. However, I think the names like Jonker Street and Heeren Street should still be used alternatively in webpage content, while remaining the introduction of it's current official name like Jalan Hang Jebat and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. This is because, the old names like Jonker Street is still very much known to foreign tourists. When they're searching for relevant information via Internet, statistic shows that most of them search with the term "Jonker Street" instead of "Jalan Hang Jebat". Thus, if we eliminate the name Jonker Street in tourism site, the foreign tourists might fail to search for relevant contents. This is the reason why AmazingMelaka.com is alternatively using names like Jonker Street and Jalan Hang Jebat. I've heard of the book titled "MALACCA - Voices from the street", but have yet to garb a personal copy. Based on your tempting recommendation, I will surely consider. Your suggestion on Dutch Heritage Trail is an interesting idea. I always enjoy strolling at the Old Melaka town during weekends, whenever I can spare some free time. The unique feeling offered by the Old Melaka streets is rewarding, no matter how many times I visited :) By the way, are you a journalist in history and archeology study? If you don't mind, please feel free to give me your email address. Should we need any assistance in writing about historical Melaka, we could have a reference, as you appeal to be experienced in this field. Our contact email is shown on the top right column of this page. Shaukani Abbas:

It should be label as OLD MELAKA. Have you read the book MALACCA - Voices from the street by Lim Huck Chin. Very informative book. U sud buy and read the book. And maybe u cud create a walking trail there, like what the Badan Warisan Penang did to its Little India and Chinatown in Georgetown. There is a DUTCH HERITAGE TRAIL in the historical part of Melaka. It is an in-depth walking tour. Call Tuan Haji Khamis, General Manager of PERZIM for more information. Melaka sud rebrand all its tours and this can make more people to stay extra one day. instead of Melaka City Tour it sud be call DUTCH HERITAGE TRAIL. and the other side of the river, we sud call it OLD MELAKA WALKING TOUR. In Melaka, by walking around is more enjoyable. We should not label Jonker / Heeren Street, CHINATOWN. It should be label as OLD MELAKA.
