Translation: since 1am we start driving from Ampang. Now 6am, we only reached Gombak. We're staying strong!

Context: in malaysia, every eid al-fitr where muslim travel back home to celebrate, this is the common sight on every major road in Kuala Lumpur(capital city) leading to highway and on highway. For most people there's hundreds of kilometers left to go, and this is the only way to travel to east coast. A new 665km highspeed train line for east coast is coming early next year, which is under construction for nearly 10 years!

It's gonna be worst in 2029 where eid is celebrated back to back with chinese new year, which about 90% of malaysian are celebrating.

I just looked at a map to confirm cause I struggled to believe this and damn, you were NOT kidding. Heading east out of the city into the mountains there are 2 roads, and absolutely nothing else.
