Roads leading into Kelantan congested, motorists facing 28-hour journeys

KOTA BARU: Roads leading into Kelantan are badly congested, with some road users taking 28 hours to travel to the state.

A TikTok user, Jihh, shared his experience of the unusually long journey from Sungai Buloh, Selangor to Pasir Mas on TikTok on Saturday (Sept 13).

"I drove for 28 hours from Sungai Buloh to Pasir Mas," he wrote in his post, adding in jest that his journey was more "satisfying" because he drives a manual transmission four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Traffic on Friday (Sept 12) was already congested with typical travel times of around 12 hours – still long but shorter than the situation on Saturday, reported Sinar Harian.

Retired civil servant Che Abdullah Che Ahmad, 45, said it took more than 12 hours to return to his village in Machang from Kelana Jaya, Selangor on Friday.

"I left at 7am on Friday and arrived around 7pm. Three hours of no movement on Karak before entering Kelantan and another three hours stuck in Gua Musang," he said.

Che Abdullah said he chose to drive during the day so he would not feel sleepy even though he knew roads would be congested.

i dont understand Kelantan people, all these huge undeserving public universities quota for them since donkey year do not translate to the development of their own state. Still backwater shithole until million of them finding job in KV.

just stay there then
come KL buat semak je

this the result of revenge by the federal government all this years while other states got everything.
dont blame the people of kelantan for it. open your eyes guys.

year 2025 and still there is no highway to kelantan(this is federal government job).
the basic infrastructure that can spur development are still not there(federal government job).
just because they are the opposition state. when kelantanese being cliquey with just their own, others say dont understand why but this is why. all this years and all this time, malaysian treat kelantanese like they are sampah.

Dont come to KL forever better

Development is a sin, infrastructure is hell.

Accept people monetary donation is blessing, money in pocket is heaven.

at least now federal is doing it
yet kelantan belittled current pm
even when pn was in power, nothing allocated for it

Haha, actually I’m not really interested in the traffic news, but more in hearing from EV owners who are on the same journey.

Could you ev owner share some feedback on how the trip went?

For example, with a full charge, how far were you able to go in this traffic?

Did you manage to reach your destination without recharging, or did you need to stop halfway and stay overnight, and continue the next day?

ECRL says hello.
