Kampung Jawa, which has been a popular shopping destination for locals and tourists for more than 100 years, will be closed on May 31 to make way for the development of new projects.

Despite operating in a narrow lane, the business site, which has more than 10 traders, is not only famous among the local community of Melaka but also people from outside the state, who come to buy goods.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
