The last few times when I went to Jonker Walk was during Chinese New Year and that too was quite a few years ago. During my recent trip to Melaka, we had the opportunity to go there on a Saturday night. I must say that I was very impressed with the way the area has developed and the crowd spoke for itself. The effort to turn the place into a vibrant tourist attraction I think will repay itself many folds with the number of visitors to the place. Well done to the authorities for a good job!
