Speed was maintained at around 150 km/h. Estima was not able to go up more but we still managed to reach Penang in 7 hours time.

Stopped by police for speeding on the way toward KL, but was let off with a warning, together with another Singaporean car since the police did not bring their toy that day

I guess Penang look more friendly compared to other states of Malaysia. Parking should be safer than other places.

Oh yeah, I am using the Holux 53CL GPS for this trip.

 

The mapking maps is no help at all shakehead.gif and I had to switch to malsing maps option for navigation.

If anyone is using the Holux for navigation, have to switch to 2D mode and ignore the voice navigation. Would be best if you have someone beside you to help to navigate.

Parking in Malaysia anywhere north of Johor is rather safe... the further north you go the safer it is. I have never had any problem parking my car in Penang. In fact, many of them there dont even realise its a Singapore car if you car plate is not white/yellow.

 

Should try staying at the beach front hotels at Batu Ferringi area next time. Its a whole different place there compared to staying in Georgetown.
