Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Melaka

Melaka merupakan sebuah negeri maju dan memerlukan pusat pengangkutan udara yang baik. Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Melaka (LTAM) di Batu Berendam yang berusia 61 tahun telah siap dibangunkan pada Julai 2009 dengan perbelanjaan sebanyak RM131.5 juta. Ia mempunyai sebuah bangunan baharu dan landasan sepanjang 2,500 meter bagi membolehkan pesawat Boeing 737 400 dan Airbus 320 mendarat. Perkara ini dinyatakan oleh Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Ir. Idris Haron pada wawancara dengan Buletin TV3 baru-baru ini.

As we know, Melaka is well known as the ‘Green Technology state’ in Malaysia. In June 2013, Historical City of Malacca has earned a place in the international arena after being honoured with an internationally acclaimed Green Apple Environment Award in recognition of the council’s environmental best practice. The award was accredited for the first time to a local authority in the country. It shows the commitment of the state of Melaka in supporting the use of green technology.

Melaka will make another history next year in green technology. The state will start using electric bus before the 2014 Chinese New Year in Banda Hilir.

Jonker Walk The Culprit For The Traffic Woes in Melaka?

by

That’s what the new Chief Minister Datuk Idris Haron thinks. I can’t blame him, with all the complaints about the traffic in Melaka especially during weekends, something need to be done. At least he said that this is a 4 weekends study. And by the time it is finish, I hope that Jonker Walk will be back as usual without the traffic.

Not that you can’t walk while it is open for traffic, but its different.

While you can walk freely previously, now you have to squeeze through the stalls along the five-foot pathway. With so many people around, I don’t think it will be easy to go through the things you want to buy. Eating cendol at Jonker Walk would not be as satisfying as before.

I really hope that the study is only for 4 weekends. It has been 13 years without traffic, and only now to blame Jonker Walk as the culprit?
