It is nice indeed to know someone so far away is interested in my writing.

The...Yes Idris, I know both Hasnah and Mohd Hassan. They were very good broadcasters in their own right.<br /><br />Hasnah was my staff when she came to serve Radio Malaysia Penang in the early 70's. If I am not mistaken she hailed from Bachok. She left RTM after getting married to a senior TLDM officer. She is a Datin now. I was told she settled down in Perak.<br /><br />Mohd Hassan is a jovial and cheerful personality. He set the record of being the first Kelantanese to be on the air in rtm as well as using the dialect for the local broadcast. He retired in the early 90s, decided to make Taman Ibu Kota, KL his home. We do keep in touch most of the time, and tried our best not to miss the monthly lunch among rtm veteran.tokcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167656186516375378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032372874432605198.post-27880848132417714702011-04-08T18:19:47.009+08:002011-04-08T18:19:47.009+08:00Tok Chik,

As a Kelantanese I used to hear his name over Radio Malaysia Kota Baru in the 60s and early 70s. There were also names such as Hasnah Mohd and Mohd Hassan. Do you know both of them? Wud appreciate your update on them if possible?Idris Mamathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572626254829377217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032372874432605198.post-49620705330588686692011-03-20T18:16:41.053+08:002011-03-20T18:16:41.053+08:00Thank you Wan.

It was ...Thank you for your nice words Pak Idrus. <br /><br />It was a marathon indeed. Frankly I did 1/3 of the driving only, the rest was my great buddy Zainal of KKB, classmate at Anderson Ipoh and was a career teacher. At 74 he just loved driving and we hit it off.<br /><br />The roads we took were excellent and in good condition even in the heavy downpour. I feel they have to widen the Plus N-S highway from Slim River all the way to Seberang Jaya in Penang to 3 lanes to make driving less stressful.<br /><br />For people using mobile phone with internet facilities the communication was uninterrupted all the way even on the E-W highway on the Main Range. I did access FB in the wild. I noticed they have built communication towers at about 10 km apart along the highway. I feel Pak Idrus must love this.tokcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167656186516375378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032372874432605198.post-79958426861536591732011-03-20T16:35:13.057+08:002011-03-20T16:35:13.057+08:00Amran, thanks for narrating this adventure of your...Amran, thanks for narrating this adventure of yours, sort of a marathon driving. I truly enjoy reading it. I did take the same route some years ago and did enjoy the trip. I too was surprise that the road from Grik to Kuala Kangsar was so wide and straighten up. <br /><br />I no longer could do this type of a marathon driving and had to ask someone to drive my car now for a long distance trip. I guessed age has caught up on me. I do envy you for this adventure. <br /><br />Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.com
