The expedition is expected to make a brief 15 minute stop at Parit Raja at around 11.45 am before heading to Syarikat Air Johor, Sri Gading. ParitRajaDaily team will post more stories and pictures later.

Massive traffic jam

There was a massive traffic congestion along Jalan Batu Pahat-Seri Gading at around 5.30 pm this evening. As it was the time people were going home from their workplace, bumper-to-bumper crawl could be seen from Pura Kencana housing area to the Road Transport Department (RTD) Station at Seri Gading. The traffic jam was due to a road block by the RTD who were most probably looking for errant motorists. Several officers from the National Anti Drug Agency (AADK) were also seen nearby. Perhaps they were also investigating drug-related cases.
