[Joelwong]

Have pjs always travelled to pj damansara by nshw. Getting bored with the road. Just wondering how to travel by the 'old road' . How much longer and any difference on toll charge?

If you are referring to the Federal Highway, I believe there is no toll along the route. However, can be much longer distance and time-consuming.

Why not use E6? Turn off from nshw near nilai or there about to get onto E6..... And then join fed hwy near usj?

[Joelwong]

How to go via federal highway? What's the distance and traffic like.

Wou

Would it be more scenic, passing thru small kampong and towns?

E6 is another highway ar?

[KARTer]

Yes, very good hwy .... And little bit less crowded also

but nilai almost reach pj already.

 

i am actually looking for a more scenic route rather than the boring nsh. at least see towns and kampongs.

Let us hope TS find drifting enjoyable along the Federal Highway, besides the scenery changes. To see kampongs, got to use those smaller roads along the west coast. So sorry, my road maps do not show PJ Damansara, so I can not tell you where to turn. But many kampongs to see (quite refreshing sights)

i still remember before the NSHW is built, we drove thru kampongs and coconut trees etc, took 4-5hrs from JB to reach KL

Yes. I fully agree that driving through the old route can be an interesting and pleasurable trip. It is a good idea if you have the time to spend on such drive. Often, most Singaporeans who goes to Malaysia have only their final destination such as Malacca, KL etc.. on their minds. As such, IMO, the tendency is to reach the destination as quickly as possible albeit safely which resulted in missing the pleasure of driving and experiencing the different landscape Malaysia has which Singapore does not.

One thing you need to bear in mind is the necessity to drive within speed limits, carefully and safely as there may be pot holes and the roads are usually a single lane on each side in the rural areas. Need to look our for pot holes, kids, cyclists and other road users as well as animals such as cows, goats etc..

I hope to be able to make such road trip again one day and enjoy stopping at the various small towns and the pleasure of viewing the various landscape Malaysia has to offer.

Hope you find time to explore the pleasure of driving along the rural route of Malaysia.

Have a nice trip!

Thanks, I make about 3 trips a year to pj, every time by nsh, so thinking of doing something to break the monotony this trip.

 

Can someone provide more exact instructions? Thanks

Pardon my ignorance. Where is this PJ Damansara? Can not find in my road maps. May be those keen can join you for a convoy drive-in holiday?

Must enjoy the drifting along the road bends all the way?

I am working 5 and a half days week, so Friday not so conducive for me. I believe can sustain 90km/H along most of the route, where its straight.

Hope no faulty/worn suspension mistaken for soft suspension Ever seen a tall van travelling 2 wheels at a time due to faulty/worn suspension along an uneven road in Johore. No idea if the passenger got seasick before reaching the destination.
