I'm going to Malacca on the 3rd - 6th June.
Believed that the 4 and 5th June is a public holidays.
Will the places of interests be opened on these 2 days ?
Thank u
4th of June is not public holiday in Melaka.
Places of interest in Malaysia are usually open during public holidays.
Really ? Thank you very much for yr assurance.
This year from 13th Feb to 18Feb i was there in Malaysia during "Chinese New Year". I stayed there in Malacca for two days. All the markets were closed but it was happening place at that time. Best places which i like were:
St. Paul Hills, Malacca River, Jonker’s Walk, Portuguese Settlement
There are so many places around St. Paul Hills (Walking distance) and u can spend half a day in covering all. Malacca River is also near by. U must watch tis river in day and night both. Dont forget to ride tricycle which cover area around and play beautiful traditional music. These are very well decorated with flowers. Jonker's Walk (Street) is weekend night market. You will love street shopping and restaurants here. Some musician play light music in front of many restaurants. Dont forget to visit "Portuguese Settlement" This is most famouse place for home stay in Malacca. People are lovely and lively there. I celebrated "Festa Intrudu" (Water fastival) with them drinking and dancing on there traditional music.U will love a dinner at Portuguese Square which is sea facing and fascinating place. There are 10 restaurants with common sitting area in open.
"Tamang Sari" is a revolving tower and you can see complete Malacca from a height. Just dont miss it.
"Malacca Sentral" is again a place worth seeing.
In case u need any pics or other info write back.

I was asking for direction. A local told me that my map has some problem because they missed out the Holland Street.. so he drew a new map for me..
After a long while, he said.. hmm.. Oh nono.. actually Holland street is Jln Tan Cheng Lock, but the local never call it Jln Tan Cheng Lock!
At the foot hill also is the Melaka Sultanate Palace. Take note that this is only a replica and not the original - which was destroyed when it was colonised by the Europeans.
The replica was built only in 1984. It is very much a cultural musuem.
Worth noting is that there is no nails in the construction and it uses only wooden pegs.
When you think of Melaka, first words that come to mind is, it’s beautiful but an old town. Roaming around town made me realize, surprisingly, that it’s not just a home of history and past events, but, it’s a combination of history and modern day times. Like this big mall I found at downtown Melaka, it speaks of the continuing progress and effort to be a fully industrialized city.
The biggest misnomer in Melaka must be the old fort gate at the bottom of the hill. To set the record straight, it's name is Porta de Santiago and not A'Farmosa as many folks will tell you. A'Formosa referred to an old portuguese fortress at the mouth of the Melakan River which eventually landed into the hands of the Dutch. Upon seizing the fortress, the Dutch put their stamp on Porta de Santiago. Hell yes, their company logo or to be more precise the (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie) coat of arms above the gates. Can you see it?
VOC was a powerful Dutch trading company in the 1600's. So powerful was VOC that she was granted a monopoly of trading in the east and allowed to wage wars with foreign princes!
Answer: It's on the shield carried by the soldier on your right.
Dataran Pahlawan Mall is the latest mall now in town. Being constructed in the historical field of Dataran Pahlawan itself, this mall looks impresive and promising.
Many shops inside this mall selling varieties of items. Choices of restaurant also are in this mall.
Easy access to Banda Hilir Historical Zone plus there is a beautiful fountain inside this mall being carved with Melaka historical events all around.
