Today, it is a day to be remembered. This is because of the KL jam that I have experienced just to go to PC fair at KLCC. I get out from my house about 2.40 p.m. to go to KLCC for pc fair and also to wait for my parents back from China. Firstly, when i get out from my house (Bandar Sunway) to the LDP. The traffic was very heavy as i am heading to the federal highway. After thinking of the jam, I have decided to use NPE to go to KLCC since it is severely jammed up. Using NPE from Sunway to Sg. Besi was smooth which took only 10 mins.
After using the NPE highway, that Sg Besi Highway was very congested. Thanks god there is the SMART Tunnel on the left side. If not, I will be stuck another 20 mins to enter to the right side of the SMART tunnel. Right after I paid the RM 2.00 toll, suddenly the traffic inside the SMART tunnel was congested too. I was driving like below 20kmh on a SMART highway. OMG... it never happens in my entire life before! I suppose highway will able to solve traffic jams in KL. SMART highway failed to solve the traffic jam in KL! What the hack! The jam took me about 30 mins as i am crawling inside the tunnel at average speed of 5-15 kmh. The heavy traffic inside tunnel was so bad until i have to use the emergency lane to overtake some cars inside the tunnel. Worst part is, there are many breakdown as I am using the SMART tunnel. The SMART Tunnel fails to get help to those car broke down!
SMART tunnel jam.
At last, at 3.30 p.m. i have successfully reached KLCC by using the Jalan Sultan Ismail way. I am so lucky to know some shortcuts around KL. The PC fair in KLCC was not that interesting and plus the crowd were fewer than the previous. After 2 hours in the PC fair, i went and fetch my parents at KL Sentral as they took the AirAsia bus. Once i get out from KLCC, I just found out some of the road were empty as I am the only one is using that road. That time I was at Dataran Merdeka that side. Suddenly i saw water on the road and lots of police forces EVERYWHERE! I was shocked and stunned about this matter. Later, the police blocked the road to the KL Sentral and I have to use alternative way that caused another 20 mins. At last, I am able to meet my parents at KL Sentral.
On the way back from the KL Sentral, i just found out from my parents that there were some protests about the ISA in KL. I felt lucky that I dint use Federal Highway because the jam was about 10km long! That was unbelievable! If i use the federal highway, I would get stuck in the jam for 2 hours! I felt lucky about myself. I have managed enter KLCC within 45 mins with the massive jam in KL!
