Thanks for sharing guys! Pls do post on your experience and the directions for using the new highway. I was curious to try it on my previous trip but decided to go for the old route. And if you keep the size of the photo at not more than 1024x768 (800x600 better), it will not overwhelm the page too.

I think the pros of the new highway is its smooth, less traffic(for the time being), not so much of bumpy uneven roads.
Speed was able to travel at constant speed overtaking only a couple of vehicles along the way.
The only thing is have to pay more toll if you travel from tuas but this way is highly recommended as travelling from woodlands needs to pass by the highway that leads to kota tinggi which is most of the time Jam jam. lol

Another astro pic from the night. A bit bright

@shirox - Nice spiral arms and focused round stars. :) Break any cooling records there? :)

Hi Kelvin, as usual very nice astro shot.

Hi Elton, taking the sunset via the side mirror, very nice idea.
