- Some said the idea to close the road from 6pm to midnight during weekends was brilliant, while others criticised it as an unwise move and badly affected the livelihoods of street traders and shopping complexes in Bandar Hilir.
- Shah Beach Resort’s general manager Dennis Samford described the move as clever. “I walked around the vehicle-free zone on Saturday and found it very fascinating, similar to tourist streets in Europe,” he said when interviewed.
- Ng Choo Wan, 47, said he drove from Kuala Lumpur for a short holiday but was stuck in a jam getting to the Jonker Walk night market on Saturday due to the road closures.
- “Customers find it troublesome to get to our night market at Dataran Pahlawan. The move to close the streets was a bad decision and we had never agreed to it since day one,” said one 42-year-old night market trader.
- Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong said he received complaints from ehailing service providers who were unable to meet the demands of their customers due to the closure.
It’s not even a populist move lol, no one want it.
Melaka government is like this one, they always go and change thing that will severely affect people with no alternative.
