Boon Leong founded Jonker Walk
Jonker Walk is known to many. First is was much known to the Malaccans. Next Jonker Walk became known to Malaysians. Soon, Singaporeans and other ASEAN countries get to know the famous Walk. But I think its fame has become wider and rippled to the limits of Asia. It is only recently that we have rediscovered one of the Truly Asia places. Perhaps a handful from London to Lahore, Moscow to Manila or Namibia to New Zealand do know about the Walk. Fewer number could has got there to walk the Walk. I guess less than 1 % of Asia 4,140,336,501 population have got into Jonker Walk.
Nevertheless, the rate of visitors zooming into Jonker Walk is promising even on weekdays. The Jonker's visitors make up a huge source to board the nostalgic, calming and relaxing river cruise to reminiscence events to as early as the year 1400. So, Jonker Walk awakened by a 'gentle dragon' is now feeding consumers to many sectors of trade within the UNESCO's inscribed as heritage zone. The 'gentle dragon' in Chinese language is 文龙 and when written in English language to produce a similar sound would take the spelling, Boon Leong. With a surname, Gan, affixed to it, Boon Leong become Gan Boon Leong.
