Discover Malaysia


This was the first holiday with my family to drive around Malaysia. We drove 2050km in 6 days. First stop, was to visit my colleague Richard, who stayed in Segamat. The town was flooded, many parts up to the roof top. I can feel that flood can caused heavy damages and loss.
Many home were without electricity, water and communications for few days. A battery operated radio is a useful emergency tools. You can tune into RTM.
We drive along the Karak Highway to Kuantan. A day ago there was flood along one stretch and vehicles could not passed through. We were lucky that the water had receded and the driving was pleasant.
We have planned to stop whenever we wanted and enjoyed the journey.We stay a night in Kuantan. We like the place and would like to visit the town again. Next, stayed at,Kuala Terengganu, Kota Bharu, Gua Musang, Kuala Lumpur.
We drove from Gua Musang though a new road to Cameron Highlands. The stretch is probably not safe during the raining seasons because it cross so many mountains.
In summary we have a better perspective of Malaysia and look to travel to the other towns that we have never visited before. HAPPY VMY 2007
