We got a chance to try the latest interesting tourism activity in Malacca during our normal "balik kampung" trip. The river looks much better now but definitely not at healthy stage yet.
It's good to see actions have been taken to clean it. It may need at least 5-10 years for all to complete.
The journey starts from Bandar Hilir to Jambatan Pasar near Mata Kucing. It took around 30-45 mins two ways.
