Is Malacca still have historical value?

As Malaccan,i proud and happy to learn that Malacca has been selected as World Heritage Site together with Georgetown.

Even when i was young,i always proud to tell people that i am Malaccan and Malacca is a wonderful place with lot of historical values.And i always invite my friends all over the world to visit Malacca whenever they have chance to tour Asean countries.The A Formosa fort has been a icon for any newly wed couples to take their wedding photo whenever they have chance to do so like wise,clock tower and fountain next to Red House.I too took my wedding picture with my lovely wife here 22 years ago.

Back then,Malacca still very much intact and original.But things started to change when then CM Tambichik started to add in some attraction like Light and Sound show in front of Padang Pahlawan,where colourful lightings being added around St Paul hill,A Formosa,Malacca Museum to attract tourists but this eventually died off due to lack of maintenance but damaged have done to the surrounding of all these historical sites.

For the past 5 years,CM Ali Rustam has been actively developed Malacca into city status but on the expense of the historical values of what Malacca supposed to maintain. We have now added lot of artificial tourist sites like Eye of Malacca,Revolving tower,replica of ancient war ship etc.These so call tourist attractions did not have any historical value at all.As Malaccan,i am sad that our historical state has been used by irresponsible politicians for their personal gains.

Millions of tax payers money have been used up to construct all these non historical values tourist sites.

I would like to plea for CM Ali Rustam to allocate more fund to preserve all the historical sites to prevent being damage due to environmental conditions.These sites are valuable for our next generations to learn the Malacca history.Stop building all these artificial gadgets and concentrate to promote the real values that Malacca can offer.Apart from promoting the above historical sites,i hardly hear any promotion to attract tourist to visit other historical sites located within the state like Kota Kuala Linggi etc.Malacca still have many historical value sites that have not been actively promote and i hope state government can look into this instead spending money on development of non essential projects.
