So far while travelling, I seldom think about such so much and leave it to God for journey mercies. So far my trips to Cameron Highlands has been incident free, though I do encounter mad drivers speeding down as though they are Tokyo drifters or what.
Anyway do take care and drive safe!
Cheers!

IPOH: The state Public Works Department (PWD) will spend RM16mil to carry out repairs on the KM43 to KM47 stretch of the Simpang Pulai-Cameron Highlands road.
Perak PWD director Datuk Dr Safry Kamal said the project would be implemented in three phases, of which RM4mil would be used to repair a barren slope at a part of the stretch.
He added that the remaining amount from the special allocation given by the Works Minister, would be spent next year.
Dr Safry said the department was closely monitoring the slope which had suffered massive erosion.
"Our slope engineering branch will alert us if there is any soil movement in that area," he said.
He added that a patrol team was also stationed there 24 hours daily.
"We will seal the road if it endangers motorists," he added.
He advised motorists to be vigilant when travelling on the stretch of the road, adding that new signage would be placed there to alert motorists. -- The Star News
