Went to Malaysia a island name call Kluang with my family.
Kluang (simplified Chinese: 居銮; traditional Chinese: 居鑾) is in the centre of the Malaysian state of Johor. It is geographically located at 110 km north from Johor Bahru, east-southeast of Batu Pahat, west of Mersingand south of Segamat. This district is the only district that does not have a sea front, as it is surrounded by all other districts namely, Johor Bahru, Pontian, Batu Pahat, Segamat, Mersing and Kota Tinggi, except Muar district.
The name Kluang comes from the Malay word keluang, which means a type of flying fox or rather a type of fruit bat. Alas, the critters have almost completely disappeared, and some suspect that the town was named after two mountains that resemble the head and wing respectively of a bat from a distance.
Stayed at a 2 star hotel called Ailang Hotel that our relatives booked for us!
1 queen side bed along with 1 single bed.
Got a tv and a bathe room with a heater. 1 air con and that all.
