Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I mean, at least housing properties have this ever present cultural pressure to keep fueling it for some time. Bussiness however are more realistic. If the location got too expensive they will simply close or move. Maybe even just do their bussines 100% online.

But all these are just my guess. Outsiders like me have no chance to see what's behind the shop front, and bussiness, especially one in crisis, will always keep up a business as usual everything is fine façade.

Donno leh, last time I lived there 10 years ago even Melaka Raya was too much for my middle income ass. I go there window shopping only. Probably mostly children of upper middle class Melaka people + out of state tourists?

Plus, afaik anyway, Malaccans don't like going to Melaka Raya area. Hot AF. Traffic is shit. Aeon bandaraya is bettter.

But still, I really hope the state gov stop being so crazy. If not one of these days Melaka will end up losing its UNESCO status then everybody dies.
