Malacca airport to be expanded

MALACCA: The Batu Berendam Airport will be expanded this year with a budget of RM120mil from the Transport Ministry.

Its Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said the call for tenders for the expansion project would be made soon.

The expansion would allow larger aircraft to land at the airport, allowing it to cater to regional flights, such as those from Medan and Pekan in Indonesia. Chan said an initial budget of RM80mil to expand the airport was insufficient and he had managed to get an additional allocation of RM40mil from the ministry.

The expansion plan, scheduled under the Ninth Malaysia Plan which starts next year, was brought forward after much persuasion from the state government, said Chan.

“This will help attract more tourists to Malacca,” he said, adding that at present, tourists visiting Malaysia by air would have to take an extra one-and-a-half hours to reach Malacca from the KL International Airport.

Chan was addressing some 10,000 people at Jonker Walk where he was guest of honour at the Chap Goh Meh celebrations on Wednesday night.

Among the highlights were cultural performances, martial arts demonstrations and lion dances by 217 troupes. “The celebration of Chap Goh Meh in Jonker Walk here is unique and one of the best in South-East Asia.

“It reflects a blend of various cultures as a Malay boy was one of the performers in the Chinese martial arts and Indians were part of the lion dance,” Chan said.

thanks for the update Baq!Btw,jsut got a news from my dad yesterday.Tesco Melaka is plannin to expand by 40%:D

The Melaka Sentral is probably one of the best projects the city has seen in recent times.. Why? Because it's a project that serves and benefits the public, the ordinary man in the street.. I'm really impressed by its comfortable air-conditioned interior.. sure puts Larkin in JB and Puduraya to shame. My wish for M'sia is to see more of such public projects.. Penang for example should wake up :)

Oh...Another new project in Malacca....
Bside Century Mahkota Hotel, there will be a new construction of Holiday Inn hotel.. (20 storey)...Work is to be start by the end of the year...............

I think one of the reason they haven't start renovate Kotamas is bcoz The Store Department Stores is currently situated inside there....
As Long as The Store never shift out, Kota Mas Cannot be Renovate....:(

What do you guys think?Many Melakans still don't know bout this stadium yet.It's supposed to replace the current old Kubu stadium

The new stadium is Stadium Hang Jebat lah... Stadium Hang Tuah is the old stadium in Kubu. If Im not mistaken, an indoor stadium and an aquatic centre will also be built in the stadium's vicinity.

The idea behind the construction is good to replace the old Stadium Hang Tuah, but I hope that it wont be a white elephant and will be a catalyst for sport development in Melaka.

Majulah Sukan Untuk Negara :)

Yes, the stadium has "potential" but it has yet to be fully utilised. Even some of the M League matches are still being played in Kubu instead of the new stadium.

BTW, I was told the new stadium is haunted... :skull:

More or less like that. That area will definitely be developed - there has been talk of the state goverment acquiring more land along the highway, development of land by private land owner has also been freezed for the time being.

RM4.5m project completed early

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2005/11/21/nation/n_06bandaraya.jpg
The open space of Bandaraya Mall in Malacca is expected to draw people together.

MALACCA: Bandaraya Mall, a scenic open area in front of the City Council building here, has been completed ahead of schedule.

The RM4.5mil project was finished in time for the start of the 204th Rulers' Conference, which opens here today.

The grounds feature pools and 40,000 plants, with fountains leading to the council building.

At night, the open area is lit up with colourful lights.

Fencing around the council building has been removed to encourage people to walk along the path leading to the council building.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the open area would be officially opened next month.

The area is ideal for family gatherings and outings, said Datuk Bandar Datuk Zaini Md Nor, adding that hawkers would be banned from plying their trade there.

Old Federal Cinema may be turned into 24hrs. Eating Centre

Anonymous writes: Melaka, 4th. December 2005
By Tourism Melaka Reporter

It was learnt by our reporter that the old Federal Cinema at Jalan Bunga Raya, Melaka may be turned into a 24hours Eating Centre. It may be modeled after Lotus State in Petaling Jaya concept where the old State Cinema in Petaling Jaya was converted into a 24hours eating centre and Cineplex. Besides having a nice cup of teh tarik or roti canai, patrons can also enjoy a nice show at the Cineplex.

If the above news is realised, it will be good for business and Malaccans who can see a film again at Federal. Now, the only cineplexes are located at Mahkota Parade at Bandar Hilir which is normally jammed. The idea of having a 24 hours eating centre lemonade cineplex will boost the area which has been rather quiet especially at night. The area which housed Rex Cinema, Sun Cinema and Federal cinemas used to be vibrant with cinema goers during the 1960's, 70s and early 1980s. However, in the 1990s, the cinemas were closed due to changing habits and the advent of VCDs.

With modern cineplexes, cinema goers are back and they will enjoy a night out at the cineplexes and the eating places.

At the same time, the remnants of old Rex Cinema and the "wall" that used to demarcate the entry into the area that used to house fun arcades, has also been demolished. Now, the area is another open air car park with some new hawker stalls and the old Federal Cinema.

i went to malacca last weekend...the last visit being some 5 yrs ago...but i just feel that malacca hav lost its vitality..mebbe i've been to the wrong places..so correct me..i dun see as many tourists n locals at the historic centre as i've recall seeing 5 yrs ago...the local handicrafts street-trade seemed to have disappear..

i arrived in malacca at Melaka sentral...gd first impression of the place...modern yet still responsive to traditions in design..squeaky clean n still sterile..just feel tat it is located too far away from the old centre...tried walking from station to historic town..bit regretful though wif heavy backpack...they should develop the route twds the main town with interesting stops...

just too bad tat i didnt manage to visit other developments as mentioned in the forums... i feel tat the various development are too isolated on their own..espcially melaka sentral..the bazaar seem so dead..they should consider linking up them...esp the link from the new transport hub to old town...with well-designed parks connectors and pedestrian linkways...

i wonder will they still bring in the bull rides after the completion of the dataran parliamen..hope tat the new public square will bring back life to the dying historic town..

anybody knows about this project in malacca??? where will it be located?? it is a 34 storey hotel cum resort apartment

i wish it is little slimmer and taller. i like the design though:okay:

Lol, yes indeed! :) A little slimmer and taller wouldn't hurt at all! But I guess that's all the space the telecommunications company projects it'll need.

I also like the design of the hotel. Very classy! :okay:

anyway, brain_failure, how come U know so many projects in malacca ? Great find man.......:P

actually i get all the info from newspaper and websites. But i do hope all of the proposed projects will materialise.
There were many interesting projects planned in malacca but did not materialise namely Jaymuda city innitially planned at the now melaka sentral. It has tall glassy buildings, ultra modern bus station and shopping complex.

There was also a tall building planned at semabok but failed.

30+ storeys building projects at Plaza Melaka abandoned.

Melaka Mall consist 20-30 storeys of condominium and shopping complex oso abandoned.

Wat about abandoned hotel project in melaka raya.

A 40 storeys condo project at klebang also abandoned

If all of the above were built as planned, am sure Malacca city will more beautiful skyline.

4D theater at Cowboy Town, Afamosa resort started on 10/12/05.

infront of Century Mahkota used to be Go KArt ! and now, they had cleared out and demolished the go Kart ......I think they will put up the rendering few weeks time.....

didn't know malacca have so many abandoned projects. sad to heard that. the economic slowdown in the late 90's must have affected them badly. another reason might be becouse malacca's small population. what do you guys think?? is malacca's population able to support so many projects??

Thats very true.And not only that,most Melakans,especially the younger generation tends to work outstation(e.g KL or Singaporeans) or overseas.Hence,the polpulation growth is really slow,unlike Penang or KL i guess.

Btw,the Holiday Inn has it's board up!Will post soon!

I think malacca government should construct a better traffic system in town area . During the sultan visit malacca , every malaccan surprise that malcca can be such beauty ,however when the sultan left malcca ,malacca became cinderella who turn back to her old faces . :( Frankly speaking , i found that malaccan civil awareness should be increase It is pointless to construct so much million public facilities to beaty up malacca ,cos within few month all these facilities will be end up destroy/stolen by terrorist .
By the way , i really suggested that NOT TO BUILT SKYLINE BUILDING in old city area such as red house , jonker walk , bunga raya ; as it will spoilt the straits time look in malacca ,gotta remember that history and pre war building is the most value asset malacca having ,they shouldn't be destroy but to keep . It is so up set when hearing the leader say wanna built the communication tower in red house area :((
Byy hook or by cook , i think that the goverment can think about to built financial/ commerce centre in klebang area ? as plenty land there and perhaps malacca can have it's manhattam there , haha

i agree with you! i think the tower project is already scrapped right??

Malacca should not make the same mistake as Penang by building modern highrises in the heritage zone. since KOMTAR came up, many others follow. up to now i think Malacca has done well conserving the heritage area, right?

Malacca and Penang will be applying for the UNESCO heritage listing again this year. hopefully we can make it this time;)

in Malacca..even the protocol road is in bad condition..just look at the road infront of Southern Hospital..potholes everywhere and very bumpy ..
same goes to the road infront of Ayer Keroh medan selera..been patch few times and still..potholes appear....

The Star, Tuesday February 14, 2006

MALACCA: Two years from now, large aircraft such as the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 will be able to land at the Batu Berendam Airport here.

Work on the new airport terminal and extended runway is expected to start next month and is scheduled to complete by early 2008.

Currently, only Fokker planes can land at the airport.

Once the RM120mil project is ready, the airport will become a regional airport and help boost medical tourism in the state, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy.

Chan said the airport would enable foreign patients, especially those from Indonesia, to fly straight to Malacca.

“Indonesians no longer need to fly to Jakarta, Singapore, or Australia. They can fly direct to Malacca where the medical fees are cheaper,” he said.

Chan, who is also MCA deputy president, was speaking to newsmen after paying a courtesy call on Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam at his official residence yesterday. He was accompanied by state MCA leaders.

Last year, 54,000 tourists, 96% of them Indonesians, sought medical treatment at three private hospitals here. They spent an average of RM8,000 each

A few more hotels coming soon.
1) Holiday Inn
2) Ambassador Hotel (abandoned project, now resume)
3) Malacca Straits Hotel (formerly malacca straits hospital)
4) Riverside Hotel (formerly plaza inn)

Ah, very plain looking, glad another high rise in melaka!

Dataran Pahlawan looks very interesting!

Do u have any pic of the proposed new terminal building of Melaka airport??

It's about time when Melaka City Council should beautify the melaka city into a greater extent. It's eyesore to see 'kampung' houses in the middle of the city (especially in bukit cina and banda hilir), stink and dirty drains along every street in the city, unused and not maintained empty spaces in the city, abandoned high rise buildings, unoccupied empty shops(Melaka raya) and not maintained pre-historic buildings. The government should
1. Restore and rehabilitate every pre-historic building (regardless of its value and size)
2. Beautify every single little street in the city (e.g. build walkways and cover every visible drain)
3. Demolish all not-under-preservation ‘kampung’ houses in the middle of the city.
4. Stop building shop houses when the demand is very low.
5. Reduce number of side parking lots in old china town (area around Jonker Walk) by replacing them with walkways
6. Convert more old streets to like that of Jonker Walk

The government should make Melaka city a well-planned city. Areas (e.g Mata Kucing) which are the main gateways to Melaka city should be beautified. Remember, to attract tourists to this city, not only promotions and more of tourist spot are needed, but the quality of the city itself is far more important. Leave a good impression to tourists who come here.

Anyway these are just my opinions. (“,)

Latest update guys:

Padang Pahlawan is due to open to the public in July and it has been proclaimed as the largest shopping centre in Melaka(surpassing mahkota)

However,i realise that many outlets in Padang Pahlawan contains the same outlets as Mahkota,I'm afraid that those outlets from Mahkota might move over there!!!+_+

Updates:
Holiday Inn's Floor plate lvl4 is in progress!:D

Melaka's 1st Boutique hotel,Melaka Straits Hotel is due to open very soon!

Y they extend the tesco again???Is it very crowded everyday?

Yes bro.It is the busiest hyper mart in Melaka:) If I'm not mistaken, Tesco Melaka was doing the best among other Tescos in Malaysia few years back.Not sure bout now though.

A small project has just started outside Mahkota Parade's car park(Plaza Mahkota's side),known as Newton Food Culture Village. This small project seems promising

There is news that Carrefour is coming to town but dunno when. Anyone heard any news about that recently??? My uncle is a developer and he said Carrefour has plan to open at Cheng. But many ppl said it will be located in Ayer Keroh. Which is true? Or will it or will it not open in Malacca?

The below is the news reported that Carrefour is coming to town but it was reported in 2004, no news since that.



15-12-2004: Carrefour's RM1b sales in 2004
By Tamimi Omar


Carrefour Malaysia is on the way to hitting the RM1 billion sales mark for this year, a 15% jump from 2003's RM870 million, making it one of the largest hypermarket player in the country.

It has already projected a sales growth of over 10% for 2005 given the expansion drive the company is currently taking.

The hypermarket current has eight stores including the latest opening in Putrajaya, and it is expected to open another outlet in Kepong at the end of next year besides having plans to have presence outside the Klang Valley.

Carrefour Malaysia managing director Patrice Rincheval said: “The larger revenue is due to our expansion and the increasing consumer confidence in the retail market.

“We are also planning to expand our stores outside the Klang Valley, to such places as Malacca by 2007."

He said this at a press conference after the signing of a leasing agreement between Carrefour Malaysia and BH Realty Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Asian Pac Holdings, in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The holding company of Carrefour Malaysia is Magnificent Diagraph Sdn Bhd.

Rincheval said the expansion outside the Klang Valley was due to the government’s five-year ban on the opening of new hypermarkets in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru from Jan 1 this year.

On the deal with BH Realty, he said Carrefour Malaysia would invest RM45 million in a new store on a 200,000 sq ft in Kepong Entrepreneurs' Park. Construction work will start in the first quarter next year and expects to complete by end-2005.

The new store was expected to achieve profitability by the end of 2006, he said. Under the deal, Carrefour Malaysia would lease the piece of land from BH Realty for 30 years, and it will create about 400 jobs.

The hypermarket was granted the licence before the ban took affect.

BH Realty managing director Datuk Mustapha bin Buang said Kepong Entrepreneurs’ Park was a 35.2ha mixed-township developed by BH Realty at a cost of RM630 million. It comprises six phases consisting of shop offices, link houses, semi-detached houses and condominiums. The Fortune Avenue’s condominiums were expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2005, he said.

Thanks for reminding me Brain.Totally forgotten about this news.I was told that Carrefour may start construction at MITC area end of this year.Currently they are waiting for the green light from the government

This will be the new site of the current Malacca Newton food court in banda hilir rite?

Yeap.There's a sketch posted at the site.You can check it out when you're around that area.It is located in between of Mahkota Parade and Plaza Mahkota

ya, its so true. Tesco alwiz crowded. No wonder they extend it. Giant Hyperm opening in few months time and it is very near to Tesco. Mayb Tesco will not be as crowded after Giant open.

But maybe not as well.Tesco is locaed at a much more strategic location and more outstation cars pass by that area more often:)

MALACCA: A laboratory costing RM70mil to examine imported vehicles and vehicles for export ( would be constructed at the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) academy in Tiang Dua here.

JPJ director-general Datuk Emran Kadir said the laboratory, the first if its kind in the country, would fulfil specifications set by the United Nations Economic Commission For Europe.

He said that like other countries producing cars, Malaysia had signed an agreement in 1998 whereby checks on vehicles exported could be conducted in the country of origin.

Thailand, Japan and Korea were among the countries which had signed the agreement, said Emran.

The laboratory was expected to be ready by 2010 before AFTA was enforced, he told reporters after handing over 172 driving licences to senior citizens in Kuala Sungai Baru here recently.

Emran said JPJ had proposed setting up technical units throughout the country again.

“We see the need to re-establish such units since a number of vehicles have been modified,” he said.

With the units, he said, it would be more convenient for the public who then need not travel to the JPJ in Putrajaya for examination.

Emran later presented certificates for excellent service in 2005 to 76 JPJ staff from Malacca, Johor and Negeri Sembilan.

I think this mini mall is located at the MMU campus condo area.it has been completed and now they are leasing out the stores.I think this place will be a great place for cafes and events or maybe even an open air club:)


nope...It is not located near the MMU campus condo...I know the exact location already...It located next to the Bkt Beruang market.......a msall piece of land...I saw some workers and tractors there....

Warrior Square is around 700,000SQ Ft which is larger than Mahkota Parade ( 600,000Sq Ft)...

I tot MP is around 1.2 mil sq ft? Well mayb bcoz it has 2 floor which make it total of 1.2mil sq ft whereas warrior square is only a single floor shopping mall. Warrior square shopping mall is named as Melaka Megamall. Well hopefully it look great inside or else it will turn into a place like plaza melaka raya and plaza hang tuah.
Holiday Inn rises very fast. The developer undertake the projects has a very good reputation in malacca where all their projects completed on time. Juz look at Klebang 8 condominium projects where it was completed even earlier than the expected completion date.

I think the development in malacca has slow down since late 2005. Mayb after the completion of the airport extension and also the proposed of railway link (if materialised) to the town will boost the economy.

It was reported that there will be 13 screen cinema in melaka megamall (warrior square). Anyone heard of that? There will be a bowling centre and cineplex in melaka mall (formerly kotamas) too, but i think it will be a failure as i don think melaka mall will attract large crowds.

The below is the jaymuda city project that i mentioned before which has been put on hold due to the economy crisis.
If not mistaken, it was innitially planned in Jalan Munsyi Abdullah. It has a office tower and oso 5 storeys shopping mall.
Hopefully the project will be revive in very near future

Does anyone know about the 3 new international hotels to be built as reported below? Dynasty Hotel and Four Seasons Hotel. I wonder where and when they will be built. I believe one of them will take over the abandoned Ambassador Hotel in Melaka Raya.





MELAKA, 23 Mac (Bernama) -- Melaka yang menyasarkan kedatangan lima juta pelancong tahun ini berjaya menarik seramai 681,324 orang pelancong pada dua bulan pertama tahun ini atau meningkat sebanyak 10.5 peratus berbanding 616,714 orang pelancong yang mengunjungi negeri itu dalam tempoh yang sama tahun lepas.

Daripada jumlah itu, 537,058 orang adalah pelancong domestik manakala 144,266 orang pelancong asing, kata Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam ketika melancarkan majlis pecah tanah Hotel Holiday Inn di Bandar Hilir.

Beliau berkata dalam dua bulan pertama tahun ini, pelancong domestik meningkat sebanyak sembilan peratus manakala pelancong asing 16.4 peratus.

Lima pasaran pelancong asing terbesar bagi Melaka dalam tempoh yang sama ialah China dengan sebanyak 34,948 orang pelancong, Singapura (20,219), Indonesia (15,978), Hong Kong (7,232) dan Korea Selatan (6,210).

"Kerajaan akan terus berusaha untuk mengadakan lebih banyak promosi pelancongan di dalam dan luar negara sejajar dengan matlamat untuk menarik lapan juta pelancong melawat Melaka menjelang 2010," katanya.

Mohd Ali berkata kerajaan negeri sedang rancak untuk menyediakan kemudahan penginapan yang selesa terutama sebagai persediaan Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2007.

Katanya selain Holiday Inn, terdapat tiga buah lagi hotel bertaraf antarabangsa yang akan dibina di Melaka, antaranya Hotel Four Seasons dan Dynasty, yang apabila siap kesemuanya dijangka dapat menyediakan lebih 1,000 bilik penginapan.

Sehingga kini, terdapat 104 buah hotel, chalet, asrama, hotel bajet dan homestay di Melaka yang menawarkan sebanyak 7,611 bilik.

Hotel Holiday Inn itu, yang dijangka siap pada penghujung 2007, mempunyai reka bentuk moden dengan 270 buah bilik dan kemudahan serta perkhidmatan bertaraf empat bintang.

（馬六甲訊）首席部長拿督斯里莫哈末阿里透露，英雄廣場將撥出1000萬令吉展開為期53週的慶祝開張活動，直到明年的50週年國慶為止。

他對英雄廣場首階段發展計劃的進展感到滿意，該廣場將在8月30日舉行隆重開張，並進行為期33天的開張慶典。


他說，英雄廣場的開張，再配合馬六甲河於明年4月15日正式推展，及適逢明年是大馬旅遊年，相信到古城觀光的遊客將會激增。

首席部長週三（21日）傍晚到英雄廣場聆聽匯報後，向報界如是表示。

他說，英雄廣場的單層商場佔地100萬平方尺，是全國佔地最大的單層廣場，相信有助於吸引遊客。

將發展資訊通訊工藝

“廣場的圓頂建築內4萬平方尺，將發展資訊通訊工藝，第二期的黃金廣場將在明年2月竣工，內部佔地10萬平方尺的空間將開家樂福霸級市場，預定在明年4月開放。”

根據當局的匯報，第一期工程佔地100萬平方尺，內有200個單位，第二期工程則有25萬平方尺，預計在6個月后完工。

這項耗資5000萬令吉的發展計劃佔地64公頃，號稱全馬最大的草場發展計劃，同時也是全甲最貴的商業地，吉隆坡的獨立廣場面積僅32公頃。

發展商代表在匯報時透露，GIANT霸級市場將進駐峇株安南，加上英雄廣場的落實，相信甲州的遊客人次有望在1年內激增300萬人次。 （星洲日報／古城‧2006/06/22）

AYER KEROH, 19 Julai : Cadangan asal untuk menjadikan Bukit St Paul sebagai salah satu dari tapak yang dicadangkan untuk projek kereta kabel di Melaka telah digugurkan.

Sebaliknya, cadangan untuk mengadakan perkhidmatan tersebut di antara Bukit St Paul dan Bukit St John kini telah digantikan dengan antara Bukit St John dan Pulau Melaka.

Melaka Hari Ini (MHI) dimaklumkan yang keputusan untuk mengugurkan Bukit St Paul telah dibuat berikutan saranan dari Unit Perancang Ekonomi memandangkan kawasan Bukit St John adalah merupakan sebuah kawasan bersejarah.

Ini kerana dibimbangi yang sebarang kerja-kerja pembangunan



yang dijalankan di atas bukit ini bagi melaksanakan projek kereta kabel ini bakal memberi kesan kepada faktor sejarahnya.

Lantaran itu, laluan Bukit St John ke Pulau Melaka telah dicadangkan bagi menggantikan laluan yang asal.

Semalam, Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa Negeri Melaka (JPBD) telah mengumumkan yang jabatan tersebut telah diminta menjalankan kajian kesesuaian (feasibility study) bagi membangunkan perkhidmatan kereta kabel di Melaka.

Selain lokasi di Banda Hilir, satu lagi lokasi di kawasan Bukit Beruang telah dikenalpasti, di mana perkhidmatan ini akan menghubungkan puncak Bukit Beruang dengan Melaka Mall di Lebuh Ayer Keroh.

The below mentioned that Makro will be opening in Malacca this year. But where will it be located. We have not seen any construction for the outlet being carried out.
Anyone knows about this? Please provide some info plss

Makro Rancang Buka Dua Cawangan Lagi Tahun Ini


KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Jun (Bernama) -- Syarikat jualan borong, Makro Cash & Carry Distribution (M) Sdn Bhd, merancang untuk membuka dua lagi cawangan tahun ini, kata Pengarah Urusannya, Pieter C. Boone.

Cawangan-cawangan itu akan dibuka di Melaka dan Malaysia Timur, katanya kepada pemberita selepas melancarkan pameran HORECA Extravaganza Kedua Makro di sini.

Setakat ini, Makro mempunyai lapan gedung di seluruh negara iaitu di Shah Alam, Selayang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Seberang Prai, Seremban, Cheras dan Pulau Pinang.

"Syarikat akan menggunakan dana hasil dalaman untuk membina kedua-dua cawangan itu," katanya pada satu sidang akhbar di sini, hari ini.

Beliau, bagaimanapun, tidak menyatakan kos bagi kedua-dua cawangan itu.

From Berita Harian

Digital Domain dibuka di Melaka

PUSAT jualan digital yang bakal dibuka tidak lama lagi di pusat perniagaan terbaru Melaka, Dataran Pahlawan yang bakal dikenali sebagai Digital Domain, dijangka menjadi hab jualan dan perkhidmatan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (ICT) terbesar di selatan Semenanjung Malaysia, kata pegawai yang biasa dengan projek itu.

“Digital Domain yang didirikan mengikut konsep Low Yat Plaza di Kuala Lumpur, kini bakal dihuni 100 peratus,” kata mereka.

Low Yat Plaza menjadi tarikan utama pembeli tempatan dan asing yang ingin mendapatkan komputer peribadi, peralatan komputer, telefon mudah alih dan peralatan fotografi di negara ini.

“Kami berhasrat melakukan perkara yang sama di Digital Domain, yang akan mempunyai mimbar yang unik,” kata Pengarah Pembangunan McAlister Holdings (M) Sdn Bhd, Jimmy Tham, yang menguruskan pembangunan Dataran Pahlawan.

Katanya, Digital Domain bukan saja mensasarkan pembeli ICT tempatan malah pembeli dari Singapura.

McAlister, sebuah anak syarikat milik penuh United Engineers (S) Pte Ltd, dilantik sebagai pengurus pembangunan Liambang Ventures Sdn Bhd, rakan usaha sama projek itu bersama-sama Kumpulan Melaka Bhd, cabang pelaburan kerajaan negeri Melaka.

Kumpulan Melaka, yang mempunyai modal berbayar RM16 juta, terbabit dalam pembangunan hartanah, pembinaan infrastruktur, kuari dan jualan pasir.

Liambang Ventures menjadi rakan projek itu pada 2004 apabila rakan asal, Tempamas Sdn Bhd, menghadapi masalah kewangan.

Projek itu bermula pada 2001 sebagai inisiatif kerajaan negeri Melaka untuk menjadikan pusat bandar Melaka sebagai sebuah zon komersial bertenaga.

Dataran Pahlawan yang dibina di kawasan seluas 7.7 hektar berhampiran Kota A’Famosa, Muzium Melaka dan Memorial Kemerdekaan mengandungi sebuah pusat beli-belah satu tingkat dan sebuah lagi lima tingkat.

Kapsul masa Wawasan 2020 Malaysia juga terletak berdekatan dalam kompleks beli-belah yang dikatakan terbesar di Melaka itu.

Tham berkata, Dataran Pahlawan akan dijadikan sebuah ikon membeli belah yang baru Melaka dan diharap membantu kerajaan negeri menarik lebih ramai pelancong ke negeri itu.

Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Ali Rustam berkata negeri itu mensasarkan ketibaan lima juta pelancong dalam tahun ini selepas ia berjaya menarik lebih dari yang dijangkakan seramai 4.6 juta pelancong tahun lepas.

Apabila siap kelak, Dataran Pahlawan akan mempunyai kawasan 1.5 juta kaki persegi dan kawasan runcit bersih 700,000 kaki persegi yang menempatkan lebih 600 cawangan runcitan berkeluasan dari 120 kaki persegi hingga 3,500 kaki persegi setiap satu.

Projek fasa pertama bernilai kira-kira RM10 juta hampir siap dan bakal dilancarkan pada 30 Ogos. Ia mempunyai nilai pembangunan RM220 juta. Ia boleh melaksanakan acara besar dan aktiviti luaran.

Fasa kedua akan menempatkan pasar raya Carrefour di negeri itu yang kini mempunyai Jusco dan Tesco. - Bernama

i think the state government is serious in building this tower. It was reported that this project is part of the 9MP allocation to the state.

that tower.......how tall it would be?

TESCO serves the malaccans from the edge of melaka downtown (Peringgit), Giant serves the malaccans from inner part of Melaka city (Batu Berendam, Bukit Baru, Malim, etc) while Carrefour serves people of Melaka downtown, so i dunno Makro will serve people of which part of Melaka. :)

i think the state government is serious in building this tower. It was reported that this project is part of the 9MP allocation to the state.

where did u get the report of 9MP for Melaka?

i am not sure whether the below report is reliable. btw, is bangunan gunasama persekutuan = gunasama melaka tengah?
malacca really get a very small share of the 9MP allocation from the federal government. i wonder y malaccan have to pay for the petrol price increase to reduce government's petrol subsidies of RM4 bil whereas most of the development fund is allocated to bigger cities.

Peruntukan RMK-9 Kepada Melaka Kurang Daripada RMK-8


MELAKA, 25 Julai (Bernama) -- Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam berkata peruntukan RM3.98 bilion kepada Melaka dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan (RMK-9) boleh ditingkatkan jika terdapat prestasi baik oleh semua agensi yang melaksanakannya.

Beliau berkata Melaka, yang mengalami kekurangan peratusan keseluruhan peruntukan berbanding peruntukan pada Rancangan Malaysia Kelapan (RMK-8), boleh mengajukan permohonan dalam kajian semula RMK-9.

"Jika semua agensi laksanakan dengan baik projek-projek yang diagihkan mengikut jadual, kita yakin ianya akan melebihi peruntukan sebanyak RM3.977 bilion," katanya ketika menjawab soalan Datuk Chong Tam On (BN-Bemban) pada persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri di sini hari Selasa.

Mohd Ali berkata kejayaan projek RMK-9 bukan bergantung kepada kerajaan semata-mata kerana ia juga melibatkan inisiatif sektor swasta.

"Saya telah mengadakan perbincangan dengan pengerusi-pengerusi bank dan nampaknya mereka mula menimbangkan untuk memberi pinjaman dengan lebih cepat untuk projek-projek pembangunan," katanya.

Mohd Ali berkata 10 projek keutamaan bagi Melaka dalam RMK-9 yang dijangka memberi kesan ke arah mencapai Melaka Maju 2010 ialah pembinaan Kolej Universiti Teknikal Kebangsaan Malaysia (KUTKM) melibatkan perbelanjaan RM360 juta, Bangunan Gunasama Melaka Tengah (RM250 juta), Penjara Sungai Udang (RM153 juta), sekolah rendah (143 juta), menaik taraf Lapangan Terbang Batu Berendam Melaka (RM134 juta), program peningkatan kemudahan pelancongan Melaka (RM112 juta), pembersihan dan pengindahan Sungai Melaka Fasa III (RM93 juta), jalan luar bandar (RM82 juta), perkhidmatan kesihatan luar bandar (RM74 juta) dan sekolah menengah (RM65.4 juta).

it's unfair to Malaccans. Projects like peningkatan kemudahan pelancongan Melaka and pembersihan dan pengindahan Sungai Melaka shud be given more allocations, since Melaka is a small state which depends a lot on tourism. :mad2: :(

i think the state government is serious in building this tower. It was reported that this project is part of the 9MP allocation to the state.


I've been waiting for this project for ages!Wonder whether they will build it in MITC which I hope they won't.

BANDA HILIR, 14 Ogos : Dataran Pahlawan, yang akan beroperasi akhir bulan ini, telah dikenalpasti sebagai sebuah destinasi membeli-belah yang boleh dimajukan dalam usaha menjadikan Melaka ‘syurga membeli-belah’ untuk pelancong dalam dan luar negara.

Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam berkata, perjanjian yang termeterai hari ini antara Lianbang Ventures Sdn Bhd dan dua penyewa Dataran Pahlawan merupakan satu mercu tanda pelancongan di negeri ini yang berasaskan perdagangan.

“Saya berharap, lebih banyak lagi syarikat-syarikat besar dan jenama terkenal akan turut membuka perniagaan di Dataran Pahlawan bagi memberi lebih banyak pilihan kepada pengunjung nanti,” katanya semasa Majlis Menandatangani Perjanjian antara


Lianbang Ventures Sdn Bhd dengan Carrefour dan McDonald’s di Hotel Equatorial di sini, hari ini.

Hadir sama ialah Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri, Datuk Wira Ismail Saleh; Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perumahan, Kerajaan Tempatan, Alam Sekitar dan Pengangkutan negeri, Datuk Wira Poh Ah Tiam, Pengerusi Lianbang Ventures Sdn Bhd, Datuk Shuib Lazim, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Lianbang Ventures Sdn Bhd, Datuk Erc Tan, Pengurus Besar Magnificient Diagrath Sdn Bhd, (Carrefour Malaysia), Shafie Shamsudin, Pengurus Besar Golden Arches Restoran Sdn Bhd (McDonald’s), Azmir Jaafar dan Ketua Pegawai Operasi Kumpulan Melaka Bhd, Zainal Abu.

Menurut Mohd Ali, kerjasama erat antara kerajaan dengan sektor swasta dalam membangunkan industri pelancongan negeri sentiasa dipertingkatkan.

Justeru itu, katanya, Dataran Pahlawan ini merupakan satu contoh kepada pembangunan pelancongan berasaskan rekreasi, membeli-belah, pameran dan sejarah kerana ia terletak di kawasan strategik dan Kompleks Warisan Melaka.

“Kerajaan negeri mensasarkan kedatangan pelancong ke Melaka pada tahun 2007 seramai enam juta orang justeru itu, pelbagai program diatur untuk menjayakan Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2007,” katanya.

Sehubungan itu, menurutnya, lebih banyak produk pelancongan baru akan dimajukan oleh kerajaan negeri antaranya projek Sungai Melaka yang kini di dalam proses pembangunan dan pengindahan.

Mohd Ali berkata, Dataran Pahlawan juga telah meningkatkan kawasan bersejarah ini ke tahap yang lebih tinggi di mana ia menjadi zon komersial yang aktif tanpa meminggirkan warisan sejarah negeri ini.

Jelasnya, Dataran Pahlawan merupakan gabungan moden dan sejarah yang menawarkan pelbagai pilihan kraftangan, kebudayaan, sejarah, hiburan, sukan, digital dan sebagainya.

I think this is crazy, another hypermarkets planned in Malacca by 2007. MyDin Hypermarket has plan to set up a store in malacca. Malacca has too many hypermarket. The current hypermarkets in malacca are Bintang Hyperm, Tesco, upcoming Giant Hyperm and Carrefour. If the news of Makro opening this year is true, then malacca will have 5 hyperm in total. If MYdin open another 1, then we will have 6 hypermarkets by 2007 in Malacca.
I doubt malacca will have huge market.





Mydin plans four more hypermarkets
By Vasantha Ganesan
bt@nstp.com.my


August 19 2006


MALAYSIAN hypermarket operator, Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd, plans to invest RM380 million in 2006 and 2007 to open four hypermarkets.

These openings will bring the total number of Mydin outlets including emporiums, supermarkets and hypermarkets to a total of 28 from 23 currently.

Also in the pipeline is the establishment of between 30 and 40 Mymart convenience stores costing RM500,000 each in 2007 and 2008. It will further expand Mymart by franchising it at a later stage.

The 49-year old group, wholly-owned by the Mydin family, is taking advantage of Malaysia's economy that is forecast to grow by 6 per cent this year, to expand its business.

Managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin said that on the cards is the possibility of the company going for listing.

"To list we have to have a few hypermarkets opened. Our listing plan is after we have reached that comfortable level of outlets," Ameer told reporters following the launch of its first wholesale hypermarket in USJ, Subang, Selangor.

Ameer, who was a merchant banker previously, pointed out that there was no urgency to list the company as the business is a family-owned entity.

Mydin has identified Terengganu, Malacca, Kuantan and Kota Baru for its future Mydin wholesale hypermarket. He distinguished his outlet as one that does both wholesaling and retailing.

The outlet in Terengganu is scheduled for opening by the end of the year while the Malacca and Kuantan openings are slated for 2007. A date has yet to be set for the Kota Baru store.

A total of RM150 million was spent to open its first hypermaket in Subang and Ameer estimates investments into the Terengganu outlet, which is about half the size of the Subang store, to touch RM75 million.

This Subang store, with a total retail space of 280,000 sq ft, is expected to help boost Mydin's revenue by RM20 million each month.

In the last financial year ended March 31 2006, Mydin registered RM600 million in sales from its 23 outlets. In the financial year ending March 31 2007, the retailer expects revenue to surge to RM720 million in sales (not including the Terengganu outlet).

"We need to make RM19 million to RM20 million a month, because of the size and the cost involved. We expect a total of RM840 million in a year," he said.

The projected monthly sales from Terengganu is RM10 million a month.

Together, the two hypermarkets will increase Mydin's monthly revenue by 60 per cent.

On its proximity and competition with Giant hypermarket, which is right next door, Ameer described the competition as healthy.

"Our advantage is Mydin is owner operated and we are in the business as a family. (As such) decisions are made faster. We are the headquarters. It is a niche that we have," he said.

Yet another advantage Mydin has over the other main players in the industry which are all foreign controlled - Giant, Carrefour, Tesco and Makro - is that it sources 60 per cent to 70 per cent of its products from abroad on its own, without the help of a middle man.

This translates into cost savings which is passed on to the consumer.

"We are the buyers. If you buy correctly, you can sell at the right price," he said.

^^^ Don't forget the weekend target market from Singapore which makes their trip down there. There is this one Mydin Mall that has just recently been completed beside Giant USJ.....their biggest outlet yet.

who knows, mayb mydin wil be taking over senyum hypermarket store.

I think this mini mall is located at the MMU campus condo area.it has been completed and now they are leasing out the stores.I think this place will be a great place for cafes and events or maybe even an open air club:)

Ya...I found out this mall already...It is located next to Bukit Beruang Market...
IT is called BB Street mall.....IT had just started ......I think will complete by next year....

i don think the below news look good.

Malacca presses on with Bandar Hilir revolving tower project

MALACCA: The state is going ahead with plans to build a revolving tower within the buffer zone in Bandar Hilir.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the tower project costing RM15mil would be built opposite the tourist police station near the Studthuys.

"We are doing tests for piling work now. The project will begin once TNB, TM and Syarikat Air Melaka have shifted their underground pipes and cables," he told reporters after the state government meeting Thursday.

Mohd Ali said he had directed the three companies to complete their pipe and cable relocation within one month.

"The work to shift the pipes and cables has held back the project," he said, adding that the tower was expected to be completed in a year.

Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim has been invited to perform the groundbreaking ceremony on Oct 7.

yeah, I saw that construction too. As u said, hopefully it's the five star hotel that u mentioned. But my father said it is going to be a waterfront project, hopefully that is a false statement.

What I was told is going to be a water front project as well.If it is,i hope they will build a proper project rather than those built and abandoned projects+_+ However,it could also be the new low rise Four seasons hotel

Clearier view off Digital Mall..

The below news stated that there is a 24 hours shopping complex planned near ayer keroh toll. Not sure whether it is a government owned complex. Government owned shopping complexes like Melaka Sentral Bazaar are not my favourite place to shop normally.



PERINGGIT, 27 Sept : Pembukaan Bazar Melaka 24 Jam, yang menjanjikan kepuasan membeli-belah untuk pelancong dan penduduk tempatan, boleh dilihat sebagai satu bukti komitmen kerajaan Negeri Melaka untuk menjayakan industri pelancongan menerusi pelbagai aktiviti pembangunan.

Bazar Melaka 24 Jam yang terletak bersebelahan Terminal Melaka Sentral, merupakan bazar membeli-belah yang menawarkan pelbagai produk barangan dan makanan cetusan idea Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.

Mula beroperasi pada 15 September lepas dan dijangka akan dilancarkan secara rasmi bulan Oktober ini, bazar dua tingkat ini telah dibina dengan kos RM8 juta di atas tapak seluas 60,000 kaki persegi.




Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bazar Melaka 24 Jam, Nordin Mustaffa berkata, ianya diperkenalkan sebagai ‘One Stop Agency’ di mana orang ramai, terutamanya pelancong, boleh memperolehi pelbagai barangan yang diperlukan dalam satu tempat dan pada bila-bila masa.

“Inilah yang Ketua Menteri inginkan, di mana keistimewaannya sebagai tempat perhentian pelancong untuk mendapatkan pelbagai barangan tidak kira masa,” katanya kepada Melaka Hari Ini (MHI) ketika ditemui di pejabatnya di sini, hari ini.

Antara keistimewaan lain bazar ini ialah harga barangannya yang berpatutan dan murah sehingga 70 peratus berbanding pasaraya-pasaraya lain.

Ianya menawarkan pelbagai barangan termasuk perkakasan rumah, peralatan elektrik, produk kosmetik, produk kesihatan, barangan dapur, pakaian, aksesori, produk makanan, alat tulis, kraftangan, cenderahati dan sebagainya.

Di samping itu, bazar ini turut menawarkan barangan secara borong bagi mereka yang inginkan barangan dalam kuantiti yang banyak.

Barangannya yang diimport dari Dumai, Vietnam dan Thailand juga dijamin bermutu. Bagaimanapun, produk tempatan juga tidak dilupakan.

Selain itu, barangan import, produk keluaran anak Melaka juga terdapat di sini antaranya produk makanan seperti dodol, gula Melaka, produk kraftangan, cenderahati dan sebagainya.

Melibatkan pengurusan seramai 80 kakitangan setakat ini, bazar ini turut menyediakan perkhidmatan lain seperti kaunter pertukaran mata wang asing 24 jam, ‘cyber cafe’, sport cafe dan sebagainya.

“Perkhidmatan ini akan beroperasi sepenuhnya selepas pelancaran bazar ini nanti, di mana ianya secara tidak langsung akan memudahkan orang ramai mendapatkan perkhidmatan tersebut hanya dalam satu bangunan,” katanya.

Menurutnya, setakat ini 70 peratus barangan telah di bawa masuk dan dijangka siap sepenuhnya dalam masa sebulan.

Sementara itu, Norrdin berkata, selain Bazar Melaka 24 Jam, kerajaan negeri juga sedang dalam perancangan membuka satu lagi gedung 24 jam di negeri ini terletak berhampiran Plaza Tol Ayer Keroh yang dinamakan Melaka Toll Shopping Centre.

Ianya melibatkan keluasan 200,000 hingga 300,000 kaki persegi, menjadikannya gedung membeli-belah terbesar di negeri ini yang akan beroperasi 24 jam.
Pelbagai barangan dijangka dijual di situ, dari barangan berjenama sehingga yang kurang berjenama.

Yang pasti, Bazar Melaka 24 Jam pasti menjanjikan kepuasan membeli-belah bukan hanya kepada pelancong malahan kepada penduduk tempatan yang mahukan barangan pada bila-bila masa di samping harga yang berpatutan serta jaminan kualiti yang tinggi.

BANDARAYA MELAKA, 8 Okt : Melaka akan mempunyai satu lagi mercu tanda dengan pembinaan Menara Taming Sari (MTS) di Banda Hilir dekat sini, tidak lama lagi.

Majlis pecah tanah projek itu akan dilakukan oleh Menteri Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan Malaysia, Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim, Selasa ini dan dijangka siap pada Januari 2008. Dijangka hadir pada majlis itu, Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.

Ketua Pegawai Operasi Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB), Zainal Abu berkata, pembinaan MTS merupakan satu daripada komitmen yang diberikan oleh KMB untuk membantu mempromosi Melaka sebagai sebuah destinasi pelancongan.

“Menara ini juga dijangka dapat menambah produk pelancongan selain merealisasikan hasrat Ketua Menteri untuk menjadi negeri maju menjelang tahun 2010,” katanya.



Katanya, kejayaan pembinaan menara itu juga akan menjadi satu daripada aset utama penjana ekonomi KMB dan kerajaan negeri pada masa akan datang.

Menurut beliau, projek yang mempunyai ketinggian 110 meter itu akan dibina menyerupai keris Taming Sari yang terkenal pada zaman Kesultanan Melaka, sekaligus memberi peluang generasi muda menghayati warisan lagenda kepahlawanan Hang Tuah dan Sejarah Melayu.

Zainal berkata, projek ini merupakan yang kedua dilaksanakan oleh KMB di kawasan tersebut selepas projek Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall yang telah memulakan operasinya pada 25 September lepas.

Menurutnya, Banda Hilir menjadi pilihan untuk membina menara tersebut memandangkan sektor pelancongan merupakan sektor terpenting yang diberikan penekanan oleh kerajaan negeri ketika ini.

“KMB akan bekerjasama dengan Perbadanan Muzium Melaka (PERZIM) serta Jabatan Warisan Negara Wilayah Selatan bagi memastikan projek itu mengikut spesifikasi yang ditetapkan oleh jabatan terlibat,” katanya.

BANDA HILIR, 10 Okt : Projek Menara Tinjau akan menjadi mercu tanda pembangunan Negeri Melaka, sekaligus memberi gambaran baru terhadap ketamadunan negeri ini yang kaya dengan tinggalan sejarah.

Menteri Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan, Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim berkata, menara tersebut merupakan aset Melaka paling tinggi yang menyumbang kepada peningkatan pelancong dan perkembangan ekonomi negara.

“Projek Menara Tinjau ini berupaya meningkatkan kehadiran pelancong ke negeri ini. Ianya merupakan satu projek yang sangat baik,” katanya berucap pada Majlis Perasmian Pecah Tanah Projek Menara Tinjau di sini, hari ini.

Hadir sama Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, Pegawai



Kewangan Negeri merangkap Ahli Lembaga Pengarah Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB), Datuk Kamarul Zaman Md Is, Ahli-ahli Exco Kerajaan Negeri, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) kawasan serta Ketua Pegawai Operasi Kumpulan Melaka Bhd (KMB), Zainal Abu.

Menurut beliau, Menara Tinjau ini dapat dikaitkan dengan cara menyambut pelawat di Melaka.

Justeru itu katanya, ianya bukan sahaja berupaya menarik sejumlah 300,000 pelancong malahan angka 500,000 pelancong ke negeri ini seperti yang disasarkan Ketua Menteri juga mampu dicapai.

“Mereka yang datang ke Melaka tidak akan melupakan Menara Tinjau ini. Dengan menara ini di samping sejarah Melaka dan seni warisan Melaka, mari kita hebahkan seluruh dunia inilah tapak sejarah yang harus dilawati,” katanya.

Jelasnya, sejarah Melaka perlu dipertahankan kerana ianya tiada tandingan dengan sejarah-sejarah lain di dunia.

Sementara itu, Mohd Ali berkata, Menara Tinjau yang dijangka siap sepenuhnya Disember 2007 merupakan daya tarikan baru pelancong ke negeri ini.

“Pelawat yang datang ke Melaka asyik tengok benda yang sama, tiada benda baru, oleh itu menara ini sebagai produk baru di negeri ini,” katanya.

Beliau juga yakin sasaran 500,000 bilangan pelancong ke negeri ini akan dicapai apabila projek Menara Tinjau itu siap tahun hadapan.

“Seperti di Sentosa Garden, Singapura, ada menara juga dengan bilangan pelancong 300,000 orang setahun. Oleh itu, kita yakin Menara Tinjau ini tiada masalah menarik setengah juta pelancong ke negeri ini,” jelasnya.

Projek Menara Tinjau setinggi 110 meter ini dilaksanakan oleh Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB) melalui konsep penswastaan dengan kos RM21 juta.

Binaannya seakan-akan menyerupai lambang keris Taming Sari iaitu keris lagenda Hang Tuah, seorang pahlawan terkenal pada zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka kurun ke-15.

CM: Malacca to build mini-monorail

MALACCA: The state government plans to build a mini-monorail similar to that on Sentosa Island in Singapore to help improve public transportation in the state, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said.

He invited private sector participation, saying that the state government would provide the land to the company to build the monorail.

The monorail would start at Melaka Sentral and connect to Semabok, Melaka Raya, Kota Laksamana and return to Melaka Sentral.

It would also cross the Malacca River before returning to Melaka Sentral, he said.

Mohd Ali said the state government was conducting a study, expected to take three months, to improve the public transportation system in the state.

He said this in his reply to Datuk Chong Tam On (BN – Bemban) during the question and answer session at the state assembly meeting yesterday.

Mohd Ali said the study would focus on transportation in Melaka Tengah and within a 5km radius of Melaka Sentral.

The study would include public buses and taxi services in the state, he said.

Mohd Ali also told Betty Chew (DAP – Kota Laksamana) that the construction of the monorail would not damage historical artefacts in the state.

“The presence of the monorail would add value to the Malacca River,” he said, adding that the project did not involve the tearing down of any museums or the A’ Famosa gate.

Another proposal was a cable car linking Bukit Senjuang to Pulau Melaka, Mohd Ali said, adding that he hoped the project would attract developers.

The land reclamation project along the coastline, stretching from Umbai, Telok Mas, Banda Hilir, Ujong Pasir, Tengkera, Limbongan and Klebang to Tanjung Kling, was carried out to increase state land.

Mohd Ali said the purpose of reclaiming land by 22 companies involving 181ha was to facilitate the provision of infrastructure, as well as promote residential and commercial development for local residents.

Btw,there are quite a number of new development in Air Keroh.

glad to hear that. the ongoing project that i know in air keroh are mitc, shop offices opposite mitc, housing projects opposite ozana resort and putrajaya like project. what r the other interesting project going on there?

Btw, is the babanyonya resort project still going on. The project seems to be quiet now, no news about the project for quite sometime.

i also wonder when the abandoned ambassador hotel project will resume. There were news reported that it will resume but till now nothing has been done.

There are also plan to build erl from KLIA to Malacca. I would prefer if the government could build the coastal highway soonest possible. I believe there will be more development of hotels and condos or even shopping mall once the highway is built. Cant wait to see it turn to be something like penang gurney drive oneday.

At the Malacca State Assembly yesterday: An 'open Disneyland' to woo visitors to Malacca
17 Oct 2006
Jason Gerald John and Cynthia Lee


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MALACCA is set to turn the heart of the historic city into an "open Disneyland" to attract more tourists and ease traffic congestion.

For this purpose, the state government has given the green light for a mini monorail to be built, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam told the State Assembly yesterday.

He said the system would be similar to the mini monorail on Singapore’s Sentosa Island and it would operate within a five-kilometre radius from Dataran Pahlawan.



"The monorail, connecting Malacca Sentral in Jalan Panglima Awang to the Malacca river in Banda Hilir will provide an alternative mode of transportation for tourists and Malacca residents," he said in reply to Datuk Amid Nordin (BN-Telok Mas).

He gave an assurance that the project would not destroy historic sites and the heritage area.

In reply to a supplementary question by Betty Chew (DAP-Kota Laksamana), Ali said the issue of historical sites always cropped up when the government wanted to introduce something new.

"They say we are destroying the historical value of the city... but can we not bring in new development to make the city better and for the comfort of tourists and Malacca residents alike?"

He said he had consulted heritage experts like the Museums Department and also the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage.

Chew suggested that the state government was unfair to local and foreign investors by reclaiming land in the coastal areas of the Klebang beach here.

"These investors bought bungalows and condominiums in these areas because of the sea view," she said.

"Now that the view of the sea is blocked by the land reclamation projects, the value of these houses will drop."

The Chief Minister said not many investors would be affected as there were not many buildings on the project sites.

"I don’t think that there is anything wrong if we improve the view," he said.

"Such projects are so common in Singapore and people there don’t complain. Why do we complain here?"

glad to hear that. the ongoing project that i know in air keroh are mitc, shop offices opposite mitc, housing projects opposite ozana resort and putrajaya like project. what r the other interesting project going on there?

Btw, is the babanyonya resort project still going on. The project seems to be quiet now, no news about the project for quite sometime.

i also wonder when the abandoned ambassador hotel project will resume. There were news reported that it will resume but till now nothing has been done.

A large shop lot development is on going at the big plot of land near MITC and next to the POS office.And another medium sized project will be coming up around early next year located in between and behind the land of the 3 petrol stations (BP,Shell and Petronas) in Air Keroh:)

There are also plan to build erl from KLIA to Malacca. I would prefer if the government could build the coastal highway soonest possible. I believe there will be more development of hotels and condos or even shopping mall once the highway is built. Cant wait to see it turn to be something like penang gurney drive oneday.

Yeah.I think building the ERL first is more appropriate to attract more tourist.And I'm sure that in near future,Melaka will eventually turn into a coastal city:)

Anyway, where will the 24 hour shopping centre called MElaka Toll Shopping centre be built? I read the article , it said around the ayeh keroh toll plaza there....

Anyway, where will the 24 hour shopping centre called MElaka Toll Shopping centre be built? I read the article , it said around the ayeh keroh toll plaza there....

i have no idea. but as stated the built up area of the centre is only 200,000-300,000 sq ft. So I don't think it will be a shopping mall. I must be a 24 hours convenience shop like Bazaar Melaka.

I think the Toll Shopping Centre will cater more for convenience rather than a real shopping area.

Btw,anyone here actually been to the Bazaar at Melaka Sentral?:D

Hey guys, wat do u think. Based on the news below, is Mahkota Parade going to be extend?



KUALA LUMPUR: Hektar Asset Management Sdn Bhd yesterday confirmed plans to inject the proposed “lifestyle shopping centre” in Nusajaya, Johor, into the Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in the future.

The Hektar group plans to build the shopping centre on 50 acres of an 84-acre site in Nusajaya currently owned by Hektar Klasik Sdn Bhd.


Aseambankers Malaysia Bhd director Datuk Mohammed Hussein (left) and Datuk Jaafar Abdul Hamid exchanging documents at the underwriting signing ceremony
The hill top project is expected to have 1 million sq ft of net lettable space.

The injection of the property into the Hektar REIT would be an arm's length transaction, said Hektar Asset Management chairman Datuk Jaafar Abdul Hamid at Hektar REIT's underwriting ceremony yesterday.

However, the injection of the project into the REIT would only take place in a couple of years, because the construction would take “at least two years”, he said.

For its proposed listing on the Bursa Malaysia main board, Hektar REIT already received the injection of two shopping centres - Subang Parade in Selangor and Mahkota Parade in Malacca.

In the immediate term, the REIT intends to develop more retail space in its two existing properties.

“Subang Parade owns two acres - now a nursery - that has potential to be developed into more retail space.

“In Mahkota Parade, the car park is about three acres that has potential to be developed into more retail space. So all in, we have five acres (to develop),” Jaafar said.

Hektar Asset Management is the manager of Hektar REIT, whose initial public offer (IPO) is underwritten by Aseambankers Malaysia Bhd and AmMerchant Bank Bhd.

The IPO is expected to raise proceeds of RM176mil, of which about RM7mil will be for listing expenses and RM1mil for working capital.

The remainder will partly finance the acquisition of Subang Parade and Mahkota Parade as well as the repayment of loans.

The proposed listing exercise involves an offering of 159.5 million new units in Hektar REIT. The Hektar group intends to retain a 51.16% stake in Hektar REIT upon completion of the exercise.

Wow bigger Tesco ,bigger Mahkota parade!Amazing just what the whole of malaysia and the world been waiting to visit melaka to shop!

The renovation work on the Majestic Hotel has begun and is being carried out by YTL, an established company in malaysia. Anyone knows what hotel will it be?
