Anyway, at the same time, I manage to set up the audio files for some Malay words that were explained here before.

To play this type of file, you have to install RealPlayer or Quicktime Player. Maybe in the future, I might convert this file into MP3 type files for quicker adoption among you all. But I guess, hey..RealPlayer and Quicktime have been...

Obviously, not all signboards here are written in English (unless in KL,minimally). Well, here we go: Mountain - Gunung (pronounced 'gu-nung' , 'nung' as 'noong') eg. Mount Kinabalu - Gunung Kinabalu Hill - Bukit (pronounced 'bu-kit') eg. Fraser Hill - Bukit Fraser Lake - Tasik (pronounced 'ta-sik') eg. Titiwangsa Lake - Tasik Titiwangsa ...
