Jonker Street, today called Jalan Hang Jebat, was the name street through Malacca town, in what is today the core zone of the Malacca Unesco World Heritage Site. The name jonker is said to mean “junk”, referring to the Chinese vessals. Jonker Street was where the different Chinese clans had their clan associations. Among them, the Hokkiens established theirs in 1837, along with the clan associations of the Tan, Lee, and other clans. Most of the shophouses along Jonker Street date to the early part of the 20th century, although some goes back to the 19th century. Today Jonker Street is the venue of the weekly Jonker Walk Night Market.

First attempt to night street shooting in Malacca. Wonderful experience for me as hobbyist photographer. More on Flickr.

Quite busy this week. Lot of things need to be done and submit to lecturers. Need to prepare myself for interview session, making report, study and bla bla bla. O God, please give me strength.
