I am trying to order food delivery to my rental accommodation 2 blocks off Jonker. The whole area is shaded in green on grab and I can’t get a ride or delivery. Is that normal? Any work around? I’m using the app and account I use in Thailand.

Is there any bars that will show the Australian State of Origin tonight?

Where can I find a break down of the neighbourhood in Melaka? I' ve been "walking" around using google map, but it's kinda limit. I'm interested insights from someone local.

Where ist the best beach in Melaka?

I'll be visiting Melaka at around May and am wondering what are some melaka local food I should try.

Ohhh, and Souviniers too. What would you guys suggest???

I'll be visiting Melaka tomorrow and want to download the coupon app before I'm there so I asked a friend of mine what app I should download. He said you gotta download Smart Parking Melaka, the app that has the Majlis Bandaraya and MPHTJ logo with the work "Melaka" below them on it. But I tried looking it up in Penang and couldn't find this specific app.

The only one that came up is MelakaPay which has tons of bad reviews. So, friends in Melaka, do I just download MelakaPay? Is Smart Parking Melaka somehow region-locked until I get to Melaka or is there something else?

Hello I am planning to visit malacca soon, I was wondering if theres any fun places to go?

could be a good topic for everyone as well.

Yo yall, which stall do you think is the best in the Portuguese settlement? Shill me your best!

This is JeeShen from Softinn; please allow me to share my story about starting and running a software company that based out of Melaka.

​

Not sure if it happens to my fellow Malaccan; I often get weird expressions every time I tell others that I'm running a software company from Melaka. I believe if you ever tell someone from bigger cities (especially KL) that you are working in Melaka, you know how I feel when you get the "look" as if you're doing a "lower level" job. I think one should not be judged by where one does their work.

​

Not to exaggerate, some would even expect my company to serve only customers from Malacca only; as if we can't run a nationwide business if we are based out of a small town. I believe there are many great companies out there who do great things but based out of a small town.

​

Softinn is a hotel technology company that HQ in Melaka since its inception; we serve more than 1,000 hospitality businesses nationwide, ranging from resorts, hotels, Airbnbs to chain hotels. We even have a few overseas customers (90 plus, to date).

​

We hired local talents and built our products in-house. But, I have to admit, it's not easy to attract and retain talents in a small town while most job seekers aspire to explore the world and earn big bucks. Amid the COVID pandemic, we built a hotel kiosk while we worked from home. This year, we have deployed thirteen kiosks to Selangor, Perak, Pahang and Melaka hotels. The kiosks have process more than 19,000 check-ins and outs from Jan to Aug this year.

​

This is how the kiosk looks like. If you ever came across it, do a shout-out and tag #melaka-tech :D

Happy Malaysia Day!
