Traffic Jams In Melaka ?

During the Merdeka Parade last Saturday, this Band was marching from the Stadhuys to
Bendahara Road (or last time called Wolferstan Road). The direction of the march is an opposite flow to the current daily traffic flow. The current daily traffic flow into this Laksamana Road come from Temenggong Road (or last time called Mill Road), Wolfestan Road, Pantei Village Road, Banda Kaba Road and Hang Jebat Road or lastly known as First Cross Road. 

The current traffic flow was scenic in the near past (say towards the end of the previous decade, 2005 ~ 2010) with the earlier phases/stages of traffic incremental volumes when mild jams was accumulating on weekends and on public holidays. Such scenic drive through the old one-way and narrow streets of Melaka has urged visitors of those times in the past to digest the beauty of Melaka better, happier and through those happy visitors, he and she ripples encouraging words to potential visitors. Snowballs start to roll. Motorists begin to get frustrated, pedestrians like to queue and public services providers and people in stress get stuck and angry.

The sick, the dying, the firemen, the ambulance drivers, the policemen pursing law breakers are some of the public services providers affected by the crazy traffic jams building up from the old streets that lined from Laksamana Road, Wolferstan Road, Tun Sri Lanang Road (or last time called Mata Kucing Road), Taming Sari Road, part of AMJ Expressway, Bukit Baru Road, Penghulu Abas Road, Leboh Ayer Keroh until the Ayer Keroh Toll Gate. The sick, the dying, the firemen, the ambulance drivers, the policemen ... 

Probably, this Band is able to inspire a solution to remove the tortoise flow through this Laksamana Road that diverge to Dataran Pahlawan and Jonker Walk. Very important hoteliers, international-linked businessmen, and very important persons who have businesses or business deal within those areas would not be please with the traffic jams. Probably Jonker Walk may not be the cause of the formation of a tortoise flow in old Melaka town. Cause of jams could be the flow.

On the 26 June 2013, MCA Youth Chief, Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong said that Jonker Walk is not the cause of traffic jams in the old city and as an expert in Traffic Management System, offer to provide his service to the people. 

Let's us 1together, and look from the Traffic Satellite.

If we refer to the Public Works Department archives on traffic flow and road naming, we would find that traffic flow was exactly the same as the direction this Band was marching. That flow was yesteryears traffic flow. The flow make inroads to the ancient kingdom. The only flow from the inland areas to the sea was available only through Gereja Road (or last time called Church Road). According to geomancy, the old flow is a divine markings on the grounds and is a pattern that blessed the ancient kingdom to command worldwide recognition. The flow of wealthy activities from the sea of the Straits of Melaka during the Malay Sultanates took this direction. Some wealth was not able to be carted the the ancient flow but was destined as sunken treasure. See artifact yourself at the Flor de la Mar Museum to be satisfied. The Flor de la Mar Museum was officially opened by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on June 13, 1994 and it was the brainchild of Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik.  This old traffic direction had attracted the attention of Alfonso de Albuquerque from the West and the attention of Admiral Zheng He from the East. Because of their actions on their attention, Melaka was ruled by one foreign nation after another. As a result of their rulings;

15th century : Malay Sultanates

24 August 1511 : Portuguese Control

14 January 1641 : Dutch Control

17 March 1824 : British Control

15 January 1942 : Japanese Control

1848 : Federal Accession

Melaka is enriched succinctly by their apparels, architectures, cuisines, customs, knowledges, and finally but not least their marriages with local Malaccans. The historical past bred and breeds talents ...
