Driving in Malaysia

Driving in Malaysia

Been driving quite a bit when I went back to Malaysia. It’s pretty difficult to get around with public transport so most people have their own wheels. Petrol is cheap too. Being an oil producing country, the government subsidizes the cost of petrol. I remember it was RM2.10/litre. With the current exchange rate, it works out to be approximately ¥57. Crazy isn’t it.

I like driving. I also like being able to jump into the car and shoot off into the horizon somewhere. Getting a little tired from riding trains and buses all the time. Maybe I should start securing a parking spot…

    yes, rm2.10 in Malaysia. Government announce that the petrol price will up 3 times a year. So sad.
