Survey on volunteer drivers for Malacca trip

Mr. Ronald Wie with myself as co-chair would like to make this survey on the principle that 3pax in the car will pay for all expenses related to toll,fuel and parking charges for the driver who will get a free ride in lieu of free loan of his car for the trip.His fuel tank will  be topped up in full before the return to Singapore.In addition touch wood …should an accident or any damage to car is incurred that is not covered by insurance will be borne by all occupants of the car including the driver.

Lady drivers are welcome especially by useless me(as I don’t drive) but I figure that I make a good navigator especially on bumpy roads.Ha Ha Ha!What do the drivers and pax  themselves think of 4 pax and 1 driver in the bigger cars…is it too uncomfortable?.Drivers have final say on who they want in their respective cars with a proviso that there must be a  healthy mix of both sexes unless there is an imbalance in numbers.

On this trip (date and itinerary to be decided later ) by the 2 BA-BA black sheep with MKZ(Malacca) origins or ancestry will ensure visits to the best in hawker fare for specialities like oyster omelette and the best gula melaka and belachan shop.,the best chendol stall(provided clean and not at roadside),where to find good MKZ coffee.hawker fare at Jonkers street.Good Pernakan restuarants with standards like Oleh Sayang will be vetted to narrow down to the best at reasonable prices.Special advice will be given by my cousin who is still a resident in MKZ.

Ronald and myself will sort out the places of interest to visit with input from my cousin as well.Will 2 nights be sufficient?Please let us know your thoughts If there is not enough to form a convoy of cars bus alternative will be considered…although at a glance does not seem suitable for MKZ.

Best regards,

Patrick Khoo
