I Took 7 Hours To Reach Kuala Lumpur From Taiping, Malaysia's Magnificent Traffic Jam

It has been years since I was stuck in a massive traffic jam. Probably 20 years ago, we took 7 hours to reach Singapore. Well, history repeated itself yesterday.

Yesterday, we took 7 hours from Taiping to reach Kuala Lumpur. It was unavoidable I had work and Rachel was racing in Taiping. We knew the jam was going to be bad, but not worst. After the event, we quickly exited Taiping onto a massive crawl. The massive crawl was caused by motorists queuing up into the rest area near Sungai Perak. Road lanes were bottleneck onto a single lane. What a great road planning! We jammed 3 hours just to realize it was because of a rest area!

Then the heavy traffic continued until Rawang.

My other team from Johor Bahru also took 7 hours to reach Kuala Lumpur.

Here's the thing. We paid full price for the toll. We paid a heavier price for the traffic jam. So should they charge us or we charge them back for our time?
