A potential method to popularise Melaka River is to allow river boat stays on our Melaka River.
These boats/barges can be moored besides the river with WC facilities on land and rented out daily.
On board cooking and dining can be allowed but waste food must be placed into bins on land.
No waste disposal into the river. Offenders caught will be fined.
River houseboat stays are found on London River Thames for many years.
Food for thought.
Melaka held the Dragon Boat race at Melaka River today.
Hopefully, it will be held annually in Melaka for locals and visitors.

Hopefully, a prototype solar powered decoration lights Malacca river cruise can be done as soon as possible so that the actual performance of this system will be benefit Melaka and her environment.
It is also possible to use electric powered outboard motors to be used by the Melaka cruise boats. Now, diesel powered outboard motors are used. Not very friendly to the environment.

ALOR GAJAH, Jan 12 — The Melaka state government has taken several measures to disperse traffic congestion in the state especially on weekends such as providing water taxi services and using an integrated traffic signals system.
State Housing, Local Government and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Zaidi Attan said the water taxi service would be operational as soon as possible to ply across Sungai Melaka covering a distance of 8.5 kilometres.
He said it was part of the state government’s efforts to promote tourism as well as to reduce traffic congestion in popular tourist spots in the state
“Besides that, there are no more traffic lights using timers involving long periods of time, which is replaced by signals using car volume calculations,” he said.
