Chaity 1 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 How was the haze hanging around Malaysia ? As of today at 1:20PM, haze is still hanging around in Shah Alam sky with a bit of sunlight. Slightly better than yesterday but not good enough to go spotting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you referring to normal tar road travel or some estate short cut ? Sorry, I have to make clarifications here. If Sri Ramani is talking about the time taken to go from Seremban Town to SP, it is not correct. I stay in Seremban Town and it takes me about 40 minutes to go to KLIA alone. But if he is talking about the District of Seremban it may be so. After all the KLIA quarters is in the District of Seremban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ramani, if you go into the "Pictures Speak a Thousand Words" thread you can see that once I argued and argued until I got my facts correct. Now from the maps availabe with me I can see that the distance from Sg. Pelek to Lukut (the junction not the town) alone is 27.2 km and the distance from there to Seremban via the normal Federal road is 25 km. Of course you can go from Lukut to Seremban via the S'ban-PD Hingway. Still with the travelling speed you mentioned plus the allowed 110 kmph for the highway I still doubt you can go from Seremban to SP in 25 minutes. Remember you have to start with 0 kmph and you have to deal with slow going traffic, the winding road from Lukut to Sepang and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raj Changela 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Give or take few miles or minutes.... my commute will be over 10,000 miles and over 20 FLYING hours just to spot and get the the Malaysian aviation scene ! So as Chaity says.... haze better be dissipating soon. (tho my first day spotting in not till Nov 12th). However after Japan 2004 trip now I keep a good supply of Prozac and Valium to calm me down if its hazy or rainy as we were unfortunate to run into typhoon there and had 4 days of nothing but rain NOTE to self: "pack some nice sunny Canadian/US blue skies for the local WMKK spotters" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
