PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS. IF YOU ARE USING THE NORTH-SOUTH EXPRESSWAY NEW LANES AND IF IT IS WET, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE SLOWLY!!!!
Received this email today from an online buddy which I found it important information for all who require to travels a lot on North-South Expressway, so decided to post it here for sharing.
I am a frequent user of our North-South Expressway and I have this IMPORTANT experience to highlight and share:-
I was driving back to Penang yesterday afternoon (24 June 08) when I saw the unfortunate accident in the opposite direction involving the passenger bus that skidded and overturned at Tanjung Malim. I didn't know that the skidded bus was from hometown Penang until I watched TV3 news later in the evening and was shocked to learn that the accident took two lives.
Now, this is what I need to share:-
I am a building contractor with over twenty years of experience and I have been driving my 5 series BMW (latest generation and a dammed solid road holding car) each time I travelled to KL. Lately, the new extended 3 lanes highway had been opened up for use and since then, I have also been using it quite often.
HOWEVER, when I used it each time it is WET, I can really 'feel' that the new road surface is extremely SLIPPERY! To share with some of you, my car comes with a built-in traction control mechanism (skidding prevention mechanism) and you can feel it each time it is activated. Previously, I don't come across this kind of slippery feel except when I drive over a paddle of water at certain speed.
From my observation as a building contractor, the 'wearing course' of the new road surface could be TOO FINE OR TOO SMOOTH and TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for highway use! The wearing course (top premix layer) mix design for highways should be of minimum 20mm coarse aggregate mix that will give us the required bond between the surface and our tyres. Fine wearing course (14mm coarse aggregate size and below) is only suitable for normal road. (A proper test needs to be carried out to determine the mix design of the wearing course).
Since the opening of the three lanes highway, I had seen cars skidding in front me or in the opposite direction and approximately 2 weeks ago, one of my friends who is also a frequent user of our NSE, came to share with me about his slippery feeling as well as the many skidded cars he had seen lately.
I am highlighting this to TV3 and The Star with the hope that a thorough investigation could be carried out immediately to find out how or what causes the bus to skid. A proper and independent test needs to be carried out urgently to determine the design mix of the wearing course. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

鐵罐是個很懂事的女孩, 家住屏東.
有一個週六下午, 鐵罐補習回來, 坐在客廳寫功課. 這時突然門鈴作響, 懂事的鐵 罐趕緊跑去開門，她看到一個英俊高大的男士站在那裡.
心裡正猶豫他是誰的時候, 媽媽從廚房走出來看到他露出欣喜的笑容, 這時媽媽 突然回頭對鐵罐說：「叫爸爸！」, 鐵罐心想：「好奇怪, 這個男的是誰, 什麼我要叫他爸, 難道 ..媽...？」
媽媽看鐵罐一點動靜都沒有, 再一次對她說：「叫爸爸！」鐵罐還是無動於衷, 瞪著眼睛望著媽媽和那個男人, 決定以沉默代表自己最後的人性尊嚴.
媽媽大聲且語帶威脅的說：「快給我叫爸爸！」鐵罐和媽媽僵持著.
媽媽急了也火了, 伸出右手狠狠的打了鐵罐一巴掌, 並且大吼：「叫爸爸！」鐵 罐頓時傻了沒想到媽媽竟會為了一個陌生男人而打他, 鐵罐難過的哭了出來, 對 著陌生人說：「爸爸.....」
媽媽這時說：「你白癡阿~~~~~~~~你這樣叫爸爸, 他聽的到嗎？人家來修水塔你趕快到房裡去叫爸爸帶他上頂樓.」
