Tasik Kenyir Express

| Wednesday, February 11, 2009

It was the morning of 27 December 2008. We got a call & we were kinda excited.. We were told that a new fleet of buses by Tasik Kenyir Express would be launched at the Dataran Putrajaya.

We arrived at 10a.m. It hasn't started.. There was a slight delay. The ribbons weren't fixed yet!

Soon the VIP's arrived. It was officiated by Y.B. Encik Wan Abdul Hakim, Timbalan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perlancongan, Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan, Negeri Terengganu (much too long to translate).

There were 3 buses parked under the grand aluminium arch. The amount of people that attended..hmm.. kinda saddening. Either the Dataran Putrajaya is too huge that it looked empty or they must have not invited enough participants and guests to this event. There was also a Treasure Hunt in conjunction to the launch. Interesting.. 

We managed to kepoh with the operator & they said that their buses were assembled by SCOMI using the Nissan UD JA452S.... and it's a 38 seater !!

For those who wish to travel to Tasik Kenyir from Kuala Lumpur (Hentian Putra), Kuala Perlis and Alor Setar get on their buses now!

I picked up some info from here:

We waited for the last of Treasure Hunt participants to take off, before we left the event.
Then off we went to WT's house to see his newborn baby!
