3 hour jam is no joke. As Chinese New Year draws nearer, it may take as long queuing up as the actual journey to KL! 3-hour jam at CausewayI ever got stuck in such a situation at the Causeway on a heavy rainy day for > 6 hours, aggravated by 3 accidents in the long queue!  Can you imagine how these people jam at the causeway answer the call of nature? Commuters experience 4 hours jam at Causeway — 11 Jun 2011

Interesting that Ipoh, Malaysia has been identified as the 3rd cheapest place to retire comfortably..... I spent many of my teenage years here. The World’s 9 Most Affordable Places to Retire - 16 April 2014 Ipoh, Malaysia Monthly budget: $897 Ipoh is an increasingly popular retirement haven among Malaysians, who claim its fresh air, clean water and relaxing lifestyle not only improve the quality of life but also promote longevity. Foreign retirees are beginning to take note. Despite having a population of more than half a million, Ipoh feels like a small town. You can expect first-world health care and a modern infrastructure but no overcrowded city center packed with skyscrapers and high-rises. Friendly locals speak English, making it easy to assimilate, and lenient immigration policies make Malaysia an easy country to live in full or part time.
