ETS yourself to Segamat

-




Why drive when you can ETS your way to Segamat? I am a frequent traveller on KTM’s electric train service (ETS) from Kuala Lumpur to Sg Buloh, and not only are the facilities good but as a senior citizen, the fares are discounted by 50%. Per trip, it is only RM26 (gold coaches) to RM33 (platinum coaches). 
platinum coaches cost slightly higher

Gold coaches cost slightly lower 


Platinum coaches would cost a little bit more, but it comes with power points and chargers for your devices.


Charger and power pints are provided for each passenger 

The seats come with foldable tables similar to the aircrafts where you can put your devices. 

Each seat comes with a foldable table 

This makes riding on the ETS more relaxing instead of having to put all your attention to drive on the highway to your destination. Besides petrol, the wear-and-tear of car parts and toll, the risks are higher when you are on the long distance drive. Therefore, if you are planning a trip to Segamat, it makes more sense to ETS there.

The trip takes only three hours, which is about the same time most people would take if they are driving. In fact, time passes by so quickly if you take a short nap, or do some work on the train. Some people prefer to kill time watching a movie online as there is free Internet and a power socket on the Platinum coaches to allow you to charge your devices. Each seat comes with a small foldable table for you to put your laptop, or like what I do is to type using a foldable keyboard bought from DIY using my phone as the platform. I made the most of the trip by cranking out a feature on the Cars and Coffee cafe at Empire City at Damansara Perdana. For those who think they do not have time to do reading, it’s probably a good time to catch up with some reading during the trip on ETS. 

Once I reach Segamat station, my friend would usually pick me up from the Segamat station, which is just around the block from his place. The usual stopover for lunch or dinner is at Kasih Segamat’s Minus 11 Degree C Cafe in Sekijang.

My text is in Malay, but the text in English, Mandarin and Tamil below is provided by Artificial Intelligence.” Teks saya dalam Bahasa Malaysia tetapi Teks bahasa Inggeris, Mandarin dan Tamil di bawah dibekalkan oleh Artificial Intelligence:  Daulat Tuanku, beribu-ribu ampun.  Bukan saja di Malaysia, rakyat mengalami kos saraan hidup yang tinggi tetapi selepas Pandemik Covid, banyak negara mengalami isu yang sama.  Secara ringkas, pinjaman negara meningkat selama ini disebabkan masalah 1MDB, pandemik dan interest yang perlu dibayar.  Berbanding dengan zaman DrM di mana elit yang mendapat bantuan, tetapi masih memerlukan bailout termasuklah anak Dr M sendiri.  Dalam era DSAI, ekonomi beliau yang berteraskan B40 dan M40, ini yang rakyat hendak lihat. Semua bantuan yang disalurkan kepada golongan ini akhirnya juga dapat mempertabatkan GDP dan ekonomi negara dan memanfaatkan rakyat Tuanku.  Dana yang digunakan untuk membantu raykat sekalian akhirnya juga akan m...

  It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...
