Day 3 of 7: Malaysia Trip
Kuala Selangor to Banting
83kms 🚴♂️🇲🇾
Seemed like I went father than 83 today, but stopped in bigger city with more services.
Bought three spare tire tubes today. No flats today. It's a miracle!

Followed Hwy 5 all day. Sometimes, often, there is no shoulder, but cars are respectful and disciplined. I have had NO unruly autos so far.🚗
Highways, and intersections are consistent. Their lanes are predictable, and I am getting comfortable with the "left side lane" driving quickly. 🚧🛑

The red lights are long here. Seems like forever waiting. Only few motorcycles, jump the green light 🛵🏍🚦
The highways have been flat for three days. The ONLY elevation gains have been the man-made eight bridges and flyovers! 🌁🌉
Talked to Bangladesh guy working at gas station. He wants to go to USA. Needs to do his application first ✍️

I met over five waiters from India during lunch. Hard to understand their accent. They were watching my YouTube rather than working! ▶️
Only four channels on TV -boring: a soap opera, food, news, and Islamic something. Off. 📺
Not many people out walking around. Everyone is working. Passed by so many factories, industrial complex, new construction, digging, development. Huge hardware industry and manufacturing. Looks like prosperity to me.💷💵

I passed huge African palm oil company and plantations. 🌴🪔
I do not see taxis, public transport (few buses), and no motor cycle taxis. Seems like everyone has their own car or motor. 🛵🏍🚙🚗🚕
Police cars are cool (classy) here in Malaysia. Had one checkpoint. Even the uniforms are sharp 🏎 🚓👮♀️👮♂️
People really mind their own business here. Not so curious. Not staring.

Four more days to finish line in Singapore. I still have 382kms to go. 🏁🇸🇬
