“So far there are two sites, namely the RV parks in Bukit Serindit and Paya Lebar, Masjid Tanah, but we have [also] identified several other suitable spots at Pantai Tanjung Bidara and Sungai Kesang in Sungai Rambai. We will offer and provide the best location for travellers as we promote Visit Melaka Year 2024,” he said after officiating the Taman Bandaraya RV park in Melaka yesterday, according to the report.

In addition to improving the facilities at the RV sites, the Melaka state government would also provide users RVs with electricity, a surau, toilets, and a common cooking area for the convenience of the users, said Ab Rauf.
