  1. A

    Fortune-Teller Booths

    Uncover your destiny at one of several little Chinese fortune-teller booths along Jonker's Walk on Friday and Saturday nights. The local Chinese in Malaysia frequently consult these mystics to ask for advice or to find out the most auspicious times of the year for certain occasions (such as weddings, financial investments, travel etc). Techniques range from card reading to fortune sticks, palm reading and Chinese astrology.

    St Peter’s Church

    The oldest functioning Catholic church in Malaysia, St Peter’s Church was built in 1710 by descendants of early Portuguese settlers. On Good Friday the church comes alive when the Melakans flock here, many of them making it the occasion for a trip home from far-flung parts of the country.
