Although easy to get around using either bus and/or taxi, during my stay there was a two week movement lockdown ( MCO ) to control the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia. This meant many usual spots for tourists and shopping were closed.
This is such an interesting and unique town - great to just look around and explore. But on a hot day, it is tiring to walk everywhere, carrying shopping. A free little bus just going around the city streets, hop on hop off, would be great.
Never a dull moment. Great food & drink. The local people are very friendly.
Traffic control please. The driver are so rude and dangerous
Wander the streets, take the free bus around town, try the food.. It is a very safe town with friendly people.
