KOTA BARU: Roads leading into Kelantan are badly congested, with some road users taking 28 hours to travel to the state.
A TikTok user, Jihh, shared his experience of the unusually long journey from Sungai Buloh, Selangor to Pasir Mas on TikTok on Saturday (Sept 13).
“I drove for 28 hours from Sungai Buloh to Pasir Mas,” he wrote in his post, adding in jest that his journey was more “satisfying” because he drives a manual transmission four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Traffic on Friday (Sept 12) was already congested with typical travel times of around 12 hours – still long but shorter than the situation on Saturday, reported Sinar Harian.
Retired civil servant Che Abdullah Che Ahmad, 45, said it took more than 12 hours to return to his village in Machang from Kelana Jaya, Selangor on Friday.
“I left at 7am on Friday and arrived around 7pm. Three hours of no movement on Karak before entering Kelantan and another three hours stuck in Gua Musang,” he said.
Che Abdullah said he chose to drive during the day so he would not feel sleepy even though he knew roads would be congested.
College student Syuhada Yahya, 18, also shared a similar experience when the journey by bus from Bandar Melaka to Kota Bharu took almost 14 hours.
“The bus left at 8pm on Friday from Melaka Central and was supposed to arrive at 7am on Saturday but I only arrived at 11am,” he said.
He added he felt dizzy and nauseous because the bus journey tool so long.
