Malaysia Kuantan

I would like to thank haimi for his reassuring description of the drive up to Kuantan via the east coast highway No.3.
If I have not heard from his experience, I would not have made the decision to drive up to Kuantan.
Now I am more confident and have much greater faith in the Malaysian Road Signs and Directions -- three cheers for the Malaysian Transport Authority!
Four cheers for haimi!
