The origin of the name 'Kuala Lumpur'




There is only one reason why Kuala Lumpur is named as muddy estuarine...and the picture above says it all. I guess Yap Ah Loy saw the same thing some 100 plus years ago. History teach us a lot ehh.



Note : In Bolehland @ Malaysia, there's a BIG difference between flash flood & storm flood. Besides the spelling, i don't see how big is their difference can be. sigh

Traffic Jam in Kuala Lumpur (a hopeless thought)

School holiday in Malaysia, May 26th till June 10th.

In KL, the most noticable event during this period is the much-reduced traffic in the mornings of weekdays. Where have all those vehicles gone too? Taking a holiday too? A usual jam-packed 35 minutes morning journey to work takes less than 20 minutes during this fantastic period (skool holiday!) It is like, more than half the crowds are not there. In fact the 20/80 rules applies. 80 percent of the vehicles that contributes to the morning jam have some connections with the school holiday.

Now, if there's no school, there will be no (very little) jam? Too many kids been chaffeured to schools in Klang Valley...by non-working parents? by private drivers? Does changing school hours to later (or earlier, 5am?) can help to reduce the morning rush?

Hi..Another wishful thinking.

Wan Lan Leh ...discontinued!

In view of too many 'Wan Lan Leh' events that cropped up recently, the blogger is unable to keep up with it and decided enuff is enuff. This is plain hopeless. Stupidity has no limit!

...and the most recent one?..SMART Tunnel is not meant for flash flood, it is designed for storm flood wor...and it doesnt cover the entire KL. It only applies to Sungai Ampang & Sungai Klang's confluence leh. Duh!

Bubbye..no more 'Malaysia Boleh' fantastic ground-breaking story! Too much syok-sendiri, i beh tahan liao.

ps. I still convinced that SMART tunnel is JUST another tolled road, nothing more.
