Anyone think in Malaysia unless you work near special areas like Diving site o beach there's a lack of special activities?

Most activities available during weekends usually Shopping, Cinema, Golf, Themeparks, Casino, General Sports, Food & Drink I think sums it up. These are generally General activities for the whole family, but not for you.

Since Malaysia is hot weather country i'm not expecting snow boarding/skiing on Mt. Kinabalu, but still got many other things not involving snow.

For example many countries like US/Aus/Japan has lots of race tracks for weekend drivers to fulfill their adrenaline needs, they just need to drive next town, here there's only Pasir Gudang & Sepang + some no name circuit where people rarely organize anything for public, so car clubs have to use public roads to organize events. If race tracks are too expensive, you rarely see any Go-Karts no more, there used to be some but seems either they charged too expensive or typical Malaysians just not interested but in many countries they are affordable you can even buy your own karts. If a Gokart circuit is still too expensive, can always ride dirt bikes in the Forests.

Beaches, Malaysia full of beaches, yet there's only a handful of beaches that actually suits beach activities like Penang & Sabah/Sarawak, places like JB has a good beach location yet it's designed for Look Sea only and the closest beach Johoreans have is Sentosa beach. In US almost any states along the seaside will have a proper beach for outdoor activities, malaysia have to pay & go to Sunway Lagoon or Desa Water Park...

Fishing, fishing ponds near non-existence now, used to be a cheap & peaceful way to pass time. now you have to drive to Kuala Selangor or somewhere remote, or be hardcore & rent a boat and go into the swamp areas, still possible but need to be hardcore enthusiasts.

Cycling, a very common sports, but cycle lane is no where to be seen here. There's no place dedicated for cyclists like Singapore has. Even Langkawi which hosts Tour de Langkawi don't really have much cycling activity when there's no Tour de Langkawi.

Then we don't need to talk about other more expensive stuffs like yatching, horse riding, water jet packing, you may be able to find them in Penang & tourist hotspots which is 500km away..

these just few examples. even though some exists, they don't last long due to lack of support from locals, lack of tourism in major parts of Malaysia, and expensive price that people rather do the same thing over & over like shopping. but not bored meh? weekend even you have car also don't know where to drive to, drive all the way to Genting/Kuala Selangor also just to eat/gamble, drive to Seremban nothing to do, down to Melaka also eat only since most tourist place you usually go 1 or 2 times at most, even up to Penang, just Gurney Drive & eat & go to temple. even temple malaysia only got so many to visit. they should really make unique Mosques so it can become a tourist attraction like how people keep visiting temples after temples in China & Japan.

I think Putrajaya actually has lots of potential to become the weekend escape for KL people. It has the land, road & facilities to support, well until one day Putrajaya becomes overcrowded. Even if there's already one, most people probably never heard about it just like other White elephants.

But I'm guessing Malaysians so used to the hot weather they couldn't be bothered doing outdoor activities. But why is Sinkie different?

The problem is when something new comes up, they always ask for skyhigh price, it becomes not-so affordable and less people go, they lose money, close shop and people call it a day for that type of activity because they see how previous business tried & failed.

Have you tried joining a rempit race? It's malaysia's number 1 activity on weekends

lol TS...r u serious?

track day quite often i guess...only now SIC is close for resurface...join motorsports club if u wanna know about track day

MIMC-melaka/Dato Sagor-perak/Elite Track-USJ are commonly use by the clubs to track/gymkhana/ etc

already mentioned in the Clubs organizing events in public road.

you rarely see road racers endangering other road users in countries where people can race in circuits on weekends. they do still race in public road but they pay more attention to other road users.

weekend activities: house cleaning, laundry

Fishing is still available everywhere la. Just pay little bit for fishing only, no need to buy the fish you caught.

Ya ya..

Next time rendam the onion for few minutes

So when potong ur eyes wont water.

yea you need to join the clubs since it's not open to public, and because there's so few tracks & so few events when it's open to public the track ends up like KL traffic.

in other countries you don't need a raceclub, since the tracks will have noticeboards and you just need to drive 50km to the tracks.

if you have the heart, nothing can stop you, but i'm talking about availability to general public. inside players will know all the stuffs & schedules but you can only attract so many people by having a closed loop & requiring exclusivity.

lots of people buy Hypertune magazines, but how many actually tracks?

there are many hardcore fishing folks that would go into the swamp to catch big fish, but this is something normal people won't do.

if i'm hardcore enough if Malaysia doesn't have a skiing facility i'd build one, nothing stopping me right? but we talk about something that could have been easily accessible, like a proper beach?

the ones i know already turned into housing area... the nearest one should be 100km away. and since it's so remote & lack signboards i doubt many people go. hardly see anyone carrying fishing poles nowadays, other than kampung area.

Because it's expensive la.

Fishing pond- near rm 100 for first few hour for one person. Bait need to buy from them. Fish need to release back.

Cycling- A decent bicycle is few k liao. For that price might as well get motorbikes and rempit.

Paintball- Mcb for the price of each session might as well go cc and play fps.

Now for 20k ktard we might not feel the pinch of spending these money every weekend, but for those lower middle class people I can't blame them for gushing down Starbucks in Shopping centers because they are comparably cheaper than most activities you mentioned.

How different??? They only can go Sentosa. I went there until i am bored.

Try those road along Semenyih's Nirvana Memorial Park

Piap piap jer, try diff posisi, toys, fantasies, fetishes

Ayam weekend activity..setup stall and jual pao.
cannot afford leisure time nowadays..sigh

i did mention the high price in my post. i'm not sure it's because the high operating cost or they just plain greedy or lazy like those KLCC Taxis.

i mean they charge expensive, people will go when it's new, but less & less people will go because the high price is not worth it, they end up having few business, some continue, some close shop, i might suspect because their funds come from "Easy Money" or the outpost used as money laundering they are lazy to entertain customers as such they charge higher price to deter customers, and those that want to play pay more.

i mean if they charged lower, they will have lower profit but the facilities will be more fully utilized as such they probably end up making more money.

for cycling, Singapore has a big area where there's a bike rental facility every 500m, but i'm sure in Malaysia they will just ride it off without returning. A normal bike don't need few ks. those are competitive.

but you can choose:

1.Beach Volleyball
2.Boat Skiing
3.Sunbath
4.Build Sand Castle
5.jetskii
6.chilling out
7.baywatch

you are bored because Singapore has limited land, they can only offer you so much, but malaysia so big, yet so little things.

that is why la, Malaysia population keeps growing while productivity drops.

go hiking.. malaysia got lotsa jungle to walk.. no need jungle got park too..

plenty of activities to do in Malaysia, just a matter of taking initiative to plan for such activities. take for example the above activities, with exception of 2 & 5, you can just go to any beach, and there's plenty beaches here from lousy beach to beautiful ones.

ppl just find it convenient to hang out in shopping mall.

i know i can enter the circle to join, but a closed circle is a closed circle, you cannot attract more people to join and you cannot help grow the hobby. i dunno la Malaysian mentality, like scared other people learn & follow.

in modern countries these activities are widely available because the hobby has grown into a big industry and anyone to everyone can easily access these exclusive activities, no need join circle or club, join if you like, no join also not a problem.

with a closed circle, people tend to get bored easier & faster because less people join, less ideas, less activities, less market for business to make it a bigger market and sooner or later people will start leaving the circle and soon the hobby dies off. even things like Modelling where it's widely available everywhere, is still a relatively small hobby here. one reason maybe because they sell the models but not the tools for the hobby unless you go and find specialty shops which require some "Insider information".

and Malaysia is not a high cost country, never understood why everything is so expensive. maybe because most of these biz are opened by "Enthutiastic" kronnies who feels that they need to charge a premium for the work they did to open up the business.

Remember ToyCity last time? They were the 1st to sell model kits & cars etc, but they charge like 150%-200% for their stuffs... I'm sure Toycity is owned by some folks with political ties.

this is me every week

malaysian only.active at night. u go see dataran merdeka. escort pun ada

Golfing mahal
Boling mahal
Movie mahal
Makan also mahal

Weekend at home only

Is there any art gallery?

Got la, netflix + couch patato..

example of beaches in Malaysia please?

IMO 2 & 5 are the activities where you don't need a proper beach you just need a place to lower your jetskii & boat and clear sea water.

the rest requires proper beach properlly runned & maintained to avoid possible injuries. Imagine playing beach volleyball on unmaintained beach full of rocks & glass shreds. or sunbathing near scorpions & ants.

even in JB there's no beach i can think of, maybe Desaru which is so far away but the sea runs along the city but no proper beach available even around Danga Bay area. not sure about Legoland area.

Massage place more than bowling alley

The reason why there is no facilities for weekend activities like proper hiking trails and long enough bicycle paths is because you get very little in return for the taxes that you paid. All your taxes has been going to UMNO/BN pockets.

You can sunbath and chill out at any Padang also during the weekends.

there is around KL, but it's nothing like Paris, they probably been showing the same art pieces over 5 years, so you go 1 time enough edi, most i think are local arts, who wanna hang their arts in Malaysia art gallery when art is really not a thing here.

you display Monalisa here probably you get more foreign visitors than locals.

to make these "Tourist place" attractive you need to display new things so visitors will visit, and locals will go once every 6 months to see something new. you display the same thing all the time unless it's a Temple people aren't gonna go the 2nd time lo.

Paris art galley some people buy season ticket so they can visit anytime they want, some art students just stay there and study the arts, and they frequently have new arts on display & rotation, even Japan which is not famous for famous Painters also have some great art galleries & art works.

Art, just something not popular in Malaysia lo. Don't tell me it's because Art paper & paint mahal gile.

i got 2TB of movies, 95% haven't watched, also tons of burned DVDRs, musics, and i'm haven't mention the 2TB PC games, and did i forget to mention the PS1/2/3/FC/SNES/GEN/PCE/Mame/GC/N64 that i haven't even touched?

but can't be starring at monitor all the time gets bored also.

but when you drive your car out, dunno where to go also other than shopping malls. my nose gets stuffy when i stay in mall for too long.

u can play layang layang,.. gasing,.. guli,.. and skodeng people mandi sungai...

Hiking, i only know TTDI place, but many people. Other than that, probably somewhere around Karak near Genting toll. I've seen many cars parked roadside and people coming out from the jungle, but are those jungle maintained? like have path opened up for hikers so they won't get lost? I know Australia jungle for tourist got some facilities set up within the jungles. actually just forest.

example?

they are surviving because the host have money, the supporters have money, that is all, it's a closed community and won't grow like how they are in developed countries.

it's same as saying BMW are cars for high income group when in developed countries almost every Jack & Jill can afford them, whether they want to is another question.

you can say the same thing in those poor African countries, majority people are dying of hunger but selective few can still enjoy their niche hobby.

now tell me which hobbies i've listed on my 1st post are considered "expensive" hobby globally speaking?

even Track days you don't always need a Ferrari to track.

but you need to build 1 yourself 1st before you can play them.

mendi sungain, need to go very far far away inside kampung areas. other places sungei too dirty to even wash your feet.

and the thing is these traditional hobbies aren't evolving.

In other countries kites have evolved into RC operated kites. Here it has dissolved into something nobody plays.

problem is ur not ang moh. if ang moh people will say it's ok ang moh used to it, if you not ang moh people think you crazy later police come ask for IC.

btw sunbath at Padang nothing to see other than the clear skies. cannot sand bath or build sandcastle also. inb4 bring own sand.

special service with happy ending i know la...is that wat they referring to?

Theres

For beginners

FRIM Kepong
Bukit Gasing
Bukit Saga
Kota Damansara Community Forrest
TTDI - But alot of mountain bikers so avoid it on weekends
Sungai Chilling
Bukit Tabur
Bukit Broga


For Advance hikers
Gunung Nuang - Either through Pangsun or Janda baik(Easier)
Gunung Datuk
Bukit kutu
Gunung Angsi
Gunung telapak buruk

And many more le but these are the few that I have tried and may have missed out..

I haven't hike in a very long2 time and I kinda miss it

I will say the problem is TS himself.

1 suggestion given, 10 excuses from TS.

this

all things you want to do are not budaya kita.

Content is too lazy.

You need to be more pro-active in getting to know every activity categories you have stated.

In general, this are the community that want a jungle with air-conditioning and ample car park.

Golf is one of those activities i've listed as available. Last time when got membership can go there look scenery go spa/swim/tennis then sauna/bath have dinner. now too crowded.

putrajaya got a lot of water sports la... never google meh?

http://www.waterski.com.my/

good list, but i didn't list hiking as something lacking in Malaysia... it's under general sports. what i see is more people jogging & walking, except those that really is hiking where you need hiking boots & hiking poles, you know, walking on stones and often requires both hands & feet to get up. can you highlight those that is for real hiking not like TTDI ones?

ADVOCADO MODE

ACTIVATE

yea but like i said, Golf is not lacking in Malaysia. anyway do they rent golf clubs out nowadays? coz still to get into that sports you'd need to invest in a set of clubs, general folks won't want to commit so much just to try.

do you still need a license to golf in those 18 holes?

i only play driving range coz i'm bad at golf. long time no play edi.

most people go golfclub not to play golf but use their facilities. but in KL many Condo already have these facilities.

Got, but like i said, they aren't very well known to public because they don't advertise. i suspect the folks there want to keep the good stuffs to themselves esp the Gomen people.

everywhere you see BAC & Inti adverts.

i want to play jetskii, but anywhere i can play safely around KL? i can buy the jetskii & modify the car to tow it if need to, but question comes where can i service the jetskii at decent price and where can i store it?

We don't have many bull. So why not cow riding. It is tough.

We can fly kite and play gasing. Now that's traditional.

The first impression i have after reading thread title is that

''TS must be a miserable f''

and still stick after reading all the replies.

This and all the suggestions

got la... but yeah, technically you are right since it only being advertise to sports enthusiast people...

they should do more advertising to attract non-sports enthusiast... especially for casual sports people...

Mini zoo
Mountain/rock climbing
Mountain jogging
Visit mini zoo
Visit mini farm
Pony riding
Visit deer/horse ranch
Chilling out at seaside
Fishing, no pond? No problem, Go find big parit intersection that would contain water.

List go on also

Dude. there IS cycling lane in KL.

i can cycle everywhere from my house, to PNB,to berjaya times square, to Lowyat, to Midvalley, to pavi, to KLCC, everywhere

notice how pedestrian roads in KL all now has the divider lanes on it? thats because our pedestrian roads are split for bicycling+pedestrian

altho the "bicycle-pedestrian" blue sign boards are only at merdeka padang, EPF, cimb tower, up until maju junction, and psar mydin, its actually designed to extend until Melawati eventually

yes. the entire KL is a huge cycling city

lol... but nowadays, wanna find open padang is so susah...unlike those good old days.

advocado I do understand your points and whre you are coming...but in general...I dont think many here would understand the need and healthiness to have those made available to general public as in overseas.

Majority of those who have lived overseas and returns to Msia would understand the pain of not having it here.

The thing is some of these activity exist but in isolation, as you mentioned, and there is no convenience in accessing it, parking, travel, traffic, rates, etc

Actually...I like munkeyflo said, like chill out in padang...I like that but it has to be conducive to our environment. When I was in Taiwan, the parks was accessible easily, tracking up the hill was so convenient, and some places, they have stars up the hill as well, for those who cant or dislike trekking.

Park is filled with trees and umbrellas for shades...ada ice-cream, and all kinds refreshment around the clock. Its a cool place for lepaking....public transport....if parking is an issue in Msia...they could provide free bicycle or cheap rental of those like taiwan.

There are so many things that can be done to encourage citizens to spend time healthier outdoors, and mingle with one another that in turns creates unity and get to know....
...stopping my rant

no need la, casual people won't be interested. anyway like someone mentioned before, these niche hobbies have survived & will continue to survive on their own no need attract bandwagon hoppers to spoil the hobbies.

u can come n join bro...what i mean is...if tell us no weekend activity...that mean the info on track day are not reaching you so by joining the club...u will get better information...

in my country... we dun have a race track...nearest is pasir gudang and how lucky they are...

proper beach? kindly provide me 1 propeer beach please

where are these mini zoos & mini zoos? closes is Zoo Negara, then others i remember seeing them, quite far far away. those pony riding i believe not cheap? since those Shopping mall motor vehicles already cost rm10 for 5 minutes.

there's so many outdoor activities in malaysia it's just u prefer something u "like" and can afford.

we have beaches at terengganu, langkawi, pangkor etc.
we have so many golf clubs everywhere.
so many places to jungle trekking in town areas like kl and selangor
u can always go jogging at parks if u're a poorfag
cycling can also be done at places like shah alam that provides rental


so what is your reason now TS?
go back and suck some singaporean dick while masturbating on your cheap ass daiso shits.

go hike!

no need go Taiwan so far, Singapore City center is inside the park. lunch time just walk out can eat Sammich like Ang Moh liao. Here some places can also sit outside eat but the lack of shades means you're crazy to do that. In Singapore lots of shades outdoors. Park within Parks, Cities inside the park.

KLCC got a big park, but the path towards it also quite far from KLCC, and lack of shades. Inside the park might have shades. but only KLCC of all Malaysia.

1-6 work, 7 is for do housekeeping at home. During young time talk about enjoying, don't complaint the country sux when you can't find money to support your living.

so ur in Pasir Gudang? Last time i hear weekends open for public entry is rm50 sign the death warrant and off you go any car can enter.

now you see like i say in Malaysia everything need "Inside information" if you interested in something, most of the time you have to pay for it, like you want to tune up you cars, you have to go to Sunway tuners and pay overcharge fees to tune them. In Japan you can simply walk in any tuners and they will do a decent job at decent price, not like I've been to Japan, but i'm guessing that's how it is because most hobbies have extended to the general public that it has become common.

here the folks leading the hobby don't bother to spread the hobby to make it a bigger scene.

but i know there's a few mini circuit people drift around, i think there's one near Serdang? another around kedah or something?

you know Race Circuits hardly make money in Malaysia because we only have few big events and normally the circuit is closed, so how they make money? Even Parking lots make more money.

got kepong lake, titiwangsa lake, ampang lake for park la....

but sadly not enough parking and no good public transport to go there...

haha i do agree with your general sentiment. veejay also hit the nail on the head.

unfortunately it appears that most people have their free time filled with exciting healthy things to do. ultimately i think it boils down to cost/time effectiveness.

to those bashing those less fortunate who cannot "AFFORD" to enjoy life, fuck off. some things aren't a privilege, for example - nature.

This post has been edited by CcL: Feb 29 2016, 02:35 PM

malaysia need weedend

err, the park is right beside KLCC.

then theres taman tasik titiwangsa, taman tasik perdana, KLPAC sentul has a huge park in itself

Haha wow how did you know he will write a long excuse xD

not many people got the time to drive half the peninsular over the weekend to get on the beach.

i want go to beach i want either easy access like Gold Coast, or somewhere people spend the weekends over if it's really far, not overcrowded, not too little people.

Whole stretch of Malaysia is seaside, why can't we have proper beach along the way? Why even Johor Bahru have to go all the way to Desaru when Singapore can do it in Sentosa?

Joggins is under general sports.

This is 1st time i hear about Cycling in Shah Alam, but i guess exclusive only to Shah Alam, is it near that place with Ice/Snow funfare?

AGAIN I NEVER SAY GOLF CLUB IS A RARE ACTIVITY IN MALAYSIA. Read my 1st post 1st paragraph.

I'm pretty sure having the facilities helps, but if there's no facilities, you can always bring it on the available environment, like public roads.

In the end like i say, if you really want to do it, you can, but how many of you are hardcore enough to race on public roads, or sandbath along random seasides?

Even cycling you don't need to go to Shah Alam, just buy a bike or steal one and ride on the roads or on the padang. if you happen to bang some car just keep riding.

actually i feel malaysian have alot weekend activities.

football, jogging,gym,cycling,rc car/plane/drone, fishing,kayaking.
photography, hiking,chess, karate, swiming, mma...etc etc

alot wat.

it's a long walk from KLCC, further than going to foodcourt or the building nextdoor. since it's near the exhibition centers.

anyway was referring to chilling out in city parks.

those you mention, are popular places for jogging, but not for a lunch during lunch hours. jogging is under general sports like futsal/badminton/tennis/golf/basketball, something you can do during the weekdays evenings?

i know Malaysians prefer indoor activites, that is why shopping & badminton is so popular here. Almost every big taman i can see a 24hrs Badminton center.

that is if you always go Shopping mall & buy & spend alot on restaurants because nothing else to do in Shopping mall other than spend money. people go Gold Coast need money meh other than Petrol/Sunlotion/Sunglass/Bikini.

who say no?

Malaysian like to flock the malls on weekend

We're Asian. We love our shopping malls

its not a long walk la, right opposite je, even with the distance you mentioned, i dont see a prb cause i walk to pavilion from klcc. in most places overseas walking is a commonplace, its just that for some reason msians oversea can walk, but in msia their legs become bangku

the issue of lunch dining is msians dont generally like eating outside and they take eating as a time to "get together", pair that with ahmois and fags who tend to melt under the sun, its even more reason why people dont go such places for lunch.

well, there are heaps of activities you can do not only jogging even outdoor activities, basketball and football is immensely popular.

Other than baywatch and jet ski, i think Mareiha also got what. I think Boat Skiing and Jet Skiing maybe available here...not sure...i am not a beach person...LOL.

the 1st 4 is under General Sports.

RC Car/Plane/Drone is a high cost hobby in Malaysia and not available to general public. so far i only seen 2-3 RC shops and they all located in very secluded areas only Inside people know, and they are expensive compared to other countries. And due to this many people enter the hobby, quits the hobby after a year or 2, and very few new comers join the hobby.

Fishing, many fish ponds already closed around KL, have to either go far away or go into kampung to fish along the river. you think like Bintulu can simply fish along the shores meh?

Kayaking, not something common, need your own team & kayak.

photography got clubs, but now most people go on their own, many new comers & many quitters, cost of ownership is expensive compared to overseas as 2nd hand market is very small in Malaysia. Also the fact that there's not many unique places to take photos other than Putrajaya/Shopping Malls, there are locations where only handful of people knows about though. i know for city people with busy schedule, they buy a kit then 1st 3 months take alot of pixs, but after that collect dust only. For me, just lazy and lack of places to shoot without having to drive long distance, coz i'm not so passionate about it. but i see people in Japan/Korea/Taiwan/China, like simply step out of their house already got good scene to photograph.

hiking, someone listed many place for it.

chess, don't think many people still play, if want to play need to find Highschool kids.

fighting clubs, got, but really not many, the big one i know closed shop edi used to be in City Square. now i see those small gyms on top floor shoplot teaching Mua Thai/Kickboxing, but really not common. General public won't be interested. You know where can learn Sword fighting (not chinese style), coz i heard only 2 clubs got & it's troublesome process to apply. Malaysia schools also lacks the widerange of clubs which actually does lots of impact on the hobby. Emphasize too much on studies. Lots of sports are not available once you leave school and you have to go pro if you want to play.

lucky i'm a couch person but i kesian the rest of the Malaysians.

Then pretend you are PRC. Lol.

Plus, how many of us Malaysians actually do sunbath? I go under the sun at the beach and people all think I'm nuts.

If you want compare KL with Gold Coast, then why not you move to KK where the beach is easily accessible within minutes drive from the city.

actually all are available, just you have to go to Langkawi or fly to Sabah or Sarawak if you are from Peninsular lo. I never say Malaysia don't have. Just not easy to access.

got money no problem. got the heart to do it, no problem, only stuffs like natural wave riding & skiing might be not possible. i know Malaysia got indoor wave riding? Still operational or closed edi?

err, sit on the grass?

hell thats what people do in parks anyway, you want proper sharing and seats go to a mall

why are u comparing a puny island with a country that is more that 6 times its size?
as i mentioned, most coastal area in malaysia do have beaches. and why are u complaining driving a few minutes or hours from the town? u expect everthing to be in front of your door?

have u been to kota kinabalu? island and beaches are just 10 minutes away from the city so what cock have u been sucking?

yes the cycling is at bukit cherakah shah alam and it's just like bukit kiara area. next time go outside of your cheap daiso box and have a look what malaysia have to offer la.

fun fairs, sunway lagoon, outdoor jungle activities are all within the town area. so what are you trying to say?

have u seen singaporean go and play at the sentosa beach? mostly are ang moh as we SEA hate the hot weather.

btw as i mentioned before, don't forget to suck some singaporeans' dick as u worship them alot.

distance is relative, if it's too far for Malaysians, it's too far. problem is there's no food to buy near the park for you to eat there, if you have to buy food at foddcourt, might as well eat there. ang moh usually eat sammich in the park coz sammich van no provide seats. but sometimes the makan place so packed but people rather tapao eat in office because more convenient eating on a table than sitting in the park.

but tell me why Singapore many people eat in the park? is it they eat sammich more than average malaysians? but some purposely sit there because they too stressed sitting in office and don't enjoy sitting in foodcourt/aircon place just need to relax see some greens. or Malaysian not stressed til that level yet?

those outdoor activities are covered under general sports, something you can do even on weekdays. nothing special as per title mentioned.

ts: "i want to do something that's cheap, close to my home, is not a sport, doesnt require any equipment, doesnt make me walk, doesnt make me socialise with groups but i dont want to do it alone.

because there's nothing here that i can and want to do, i conclude that there's nothing here for any other malaysians too."

1st post 1st sentence:"Anyone think in Malaysia unless you work near special areas like Diving site o beach there's a lack of special activities?"

no need you pandai recommend me move to KK, if i work or live near there i wouldn't think it's far to get to the beach.

anyway Gold Coast is close to the big cities, itself is quite a small city already. Less than 1 hour drive can reach. and it's just one of the many beaches.

but Malaysia even though so many place is along the seaside, you need to drive few hours to get to a proper beach. don't tell me because people discourage swimming in swimsuits & bikinis.

i've listed enough wide range of examples of activities that are hard to access, if you pandai why not recommend us some? no need KL, if you are from JB or Penang or Melaka or other places can also.

inb4 jogging & trekking.

play snooker,pool,billiards

well sometimes when msians say its too far , it becomes very absurd, i.e. go oversea walk 30 min ok, in msia no ok.

generally msians dont like eating out in the open, let alone parks, when was teh last time you saw anyone sitting on a bench in the mall eating something? its quite a rare sight, most of us hunt for tables even if theres none.

singaporeans dont really eat at the park, the main difference if you ask me is because their parks are very near to a lot of offices wherelse for msian parks, most of them are far away from the offices with exception of KLCC. so you do get one or two that like the outdoors, sit there.

if you go out of sg CBD, i dont remember seeing anyone eating outside like msians do, most is just void deck
