We live in Melaka

And yes this 'attraction' has been operating since 2008 and has had this discriminatory pricing since Day 1.

There may be a big drive for 1Malaysia but I see discrimination everyday in one way or another although often as a 'white man/European' this is to our advantage.

C'est la vie.

But I think RM 20 may be a tad cheaper than going on the Singapore Flyer (SGD 29.50 if you book online - that's about RM 72?  )

Yes and Melaka has two similar attractions within 500 yds of each other.

The Revolving Tower on one side of the river and The Eye on Malaysia Ferris Wheel on the other!
