Jalan Hang Lekir – Street of Collectibles during Weekend

Jalan Hang Lekir is one of most accessed streets in Old Melaka town; but surprisingly, it’s the least known by its name! If you’ve been to the heritage town of Melaka, I’m sure you have most probably left your foot print at Jalan Hang Lekir without you realizing its name.

With reference to the following illustration, Jalan Hang Lekir is the lane connecting the renowned Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street) and Jalan Hang Jebat (Jonker Street). If Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock is street of lodging and Jalan Hang Jebat is street of antiques, then I would describe Jalan Hang Lekir as weekend-street of collectibles.

On every Saturday and Sunday morning, stalls will be aligned along Jalan Hang Lekir, presenting visitors with nothing but golden memory collectibles, ranging from antique coins, to watches, oil lamps, black-rubber musical discs, celebrity posters, kitchenware, and more.

If you’re an enthusiast of classical collectibles, you will surely be amazed with the satisfying pool of golden memory triggers.
