RE: Feng shui and Mr Universe in Melaka, Malaysia
Seems like this is a place worth exploring, with a lot of surprises and hidden gems to find!
I'm Dutch, and I would suspect 'Jonker' being formed from the words 'Jong' and 'Heer', which is you would pronounce them fast after each other, 'JongHeer' would end up in 'Jonker' indeed.
There's so much more to it than I managed to show! Thanks for helping out with the Dutch origins of the street names. Would I be right to think then that Jong Heer would be young man rather than young lord?
