Hi Crystal sis, nothing to be afraid of. It is considered very very safe in JB. We have traveled to a small town in Masai and it is full of people. But you will never want to drive there especially in a continental MPV like we did. For the few hours we were there, we did not see a single Singapore plated car. We drove to the town centre but had to quickly make a u turn back to Seri Alam because the place is really scary. You see all kinds of people walking around, suddenly you can see a gang of people walking towards your car and you know your sg plated car stands out. Damn, almost had a hard time making that U turn. It is more scary than going to Pontian Kukup or any other cowboy town in JB.
still scare scare , coz i was driving alone and scare tyre burst , engine die on me etc ....surroundings only trees ....
