#Genting  Highland Malaysia  i do not wish to go again

Why ?

i am not a fan of man made theme parks but natural theme parks, decades ago when i visited i enjoyed the view ,Then there was breathtaking view from the car park at the grand hotel .now all that has disappeared to a concrete jungle, still making more and more  when i visited on 9-9-2016. Air filled with dust and smoke Hugely crowded even on this weekday. My last visit was 1983 .The days i enjoyed a little gambling not now.

Despite better road journey takes a long time to travel ,once up there is no place to breath but smoke filled environment even in the hotel lobby despite no smoking rule,

Crowded and most appear restless making me restless too, everybody running around busy do not show any signs of a holiday resort, Only serene place was down at

• #Chin Swee Caves Temple

where one can get a nice view of the vast mountains and even the city of  KL. travel down too is not very confortable , should there be an accident genting police is of no help but must go to bentong - that is another day's event. In all not worth visiting  again. I have no desire to go again so was my daughter who accompanied me.

Note-- Tan  Sri Lim Goh Thong the visionary as i was wondering how he saw the multi billion dollar opportunity in the thick jungle on top  mountains  far away  from the civilisation.Then the thought of how a university can give this kind of insight to a man. May his spirit inspire the younger generation today and the generation to come.

TRAVELED 60 KM FROM #AMPANG TAKING TWO HOURS ONE WAY-exhausted then to go -to-  no place to breath or sit in peace.

as we got near YET the thought of so much more……………………………..30 km to go

Resorts World Genting

Officially known as Resorts World Genting and a self-proclaimed City of Entertainment, Genting is Malaysia's wholesome version of sin-city Las Vegas. The primary draw is that Genting is the only place where you can gamble legally in Malaysia, but there's also a theme park to keep the kids amused. The resort offers six hotels with 10,000 rooms, over 50 fun rides, 170 dining and shopping outlets, shows, business convention facilities and entertainment options. As a plus, being located up in the highlands means it's cooler than the steamy lowlands. Many visitors come to Genting for the sole purpose of experience the chill, where the temperature can get to as low as 10 Celcius. Genting attracted 19.2 million visitors in 2008.

The company that owns and runs the resort at Genting Highland, also owns the neighbouring Singapore's Integrated Resort at Resort World Sentosa.

The distance of Genting Highland from KLCC is merely 56km, and normally take about an hour by car.

Orientation

Orienting yourself in Genting is simultaneously easy and difficult. There are no "streets" of any kind; instead, all the gigantic buildings are connected with a vast warren of linkways, underground tunnels and escalators, all filled with enough signage to stop you from getting lost. Figuring out the fastest route from A to B is not always easy though, because the signage is designed to lead you into the hotels and their casinos!

Climate

Located at an altitude of 1740 m (5708 ft), temperatures in Genting are a good 5-10°C lower than in Kuala Lumpur, generally staying in the 15-25°C range. On a clear day, there are stunning views down into the valley — but when it's raining in Kuala Lumpur, Genting is swathed in rolling clouds and visibility drops to zero. Thanks to the walkway system, you almost never need to venture outside, but hotel rooms are unheated and can get chilly at night.

Get in

By plane

The nearest airport is in Kuala Lumpur. Skybus [2] used to run direct buses, but seems to have stopped; the fastest way is thus to KL Sentral by train (28 min) and then connecting to the bus from there. Alternatively, if you're feeling flush after hitting a jackpot in the casino, Sabah Air (tel. +60 3 62578604) will be happy to charter a helicopter for you (30 min).

By bus

Genting Skyway on a misty day

There are frequent buses operated by Go Genting Express Bus from various points in Kuala Lumpur area i.e. Pudu Sentral (LRT Plaza Rakyat) (7.30am - 7pm, hourly) , Putra LRT Gombak Station (8am, 10.30am, 1pm, 2pm, 5pm, 7pm), KL Sentral (LRT KL Sentral, KTM KL Sentral) (8am - 8pm, departs hourly. Extra buses Fri-Sun, 3.30pm, 9pm) and PJ One Utama terminal station (8am, 11.30am, 1.30pm, 7pm). All buses take around one hour and cost around RM3.40 to RM4.60 (2016) one way. Bus terminating at the bus terminal beside the Skyway cable car base station (B4), from where it's a 16-minute ride up to the summit of Genting (RM 5 one-way; the top cable station is in the Highlands Hotel). On a normal sunny day, the cable cars are available frequently. You may have to wait for more than 45 mins for the next cable car during bad weather. It is slightly cheaper to buy a combined bus and cable car ticket, costing RM9.80 to RM11 (2016). Booking in advance is advisable during holidays and weekend as tickets could be sold out fast.

[Additional buses departing at 8PM and 9PM on Fri, Sat and Sun head directly to the First World Bus Terminal, making it unnecessary to take the cable car up. The buses that depart at 9PM, 10PM and 11PM on Fri, Sat and Sun for KL Sentral from Genting leave from the First World Hotel. (To confirm whether it is discontinued)]

You may also consider buying the Go Genting Package (valid for one day only; RM 78, 31Jul2016) from the KL Sentral/Pudu Sentral/Gombak/One Utama. This package includes the return bus journey (same day only) between KL/PJ and cable car station, return cable car ride (same day only) and buffet lunch at the Coffee Terrace or Indoor Theme Park day pass (including EZiCash with 10 credit points) and Snow World ticket. You have to decide on what time you want to return from Genting when you purchase the package.

Another economical option is the local bus (air cond) from Pekeliling Bus Station ( LRT Titiwangsa/monorail) to Genting Highlands (every 20 to 30 mins, first bus at 7AM). This bus make frequent stop along the way to pick up/alight passengers. No booking is allowed for Pekeliling local bus, first come first serve.

Transtar [3] operates one daily superluxury "Solitaire" bus direct from Singapore (S$87/77 one-way from/to Singapore). Other companies running direct buses include Five Star Tours, Grassland, Konsortium and Starmart Website.

By car and taxi

Genting can be reached by car from Kuala Lumpur in about 1 hr on the Karak Highway. An executive taxi from the centre of Kuala Lumpur to Genting costs RM150-RM200 whilst a regular taxi from the centre of KL to Genting costs around RM60-RM70.

From KLIA/KLIA2, for the coupon budget category taxi- RM217.20, premier-RM284.90,and family is RM562.40 incl. GST and tolls (2015). Travelling time is about 2 hours.

Get around

All hotels in Genting (except Awana) are connected by sheltered walkways and escalators, so you never actually need to go outside. The entire complex is, theoretically, wheelchair accessible.

Casinos

The dimly lit, surreal kitsch of the First World Plaza indoor theme park-cum-shopping mall

Let's face it: if you aren't into theme park rides, the only thing to do in Genting isgamble. All casinos are open 24 hrs, although you must be over 21 and, if Malaysian, not Muslim to enter. A notional but widely ignored dress code applies, prohibiting T-shirts, shorts and sandals, and while there are theoretical non-smoking zones here and there, all casinos are wreathed in dense smoke. One final difference to Vegas: you can get a drink from the cafes inside, but there no cocktail waitresses.

Table games of choice are roulette, baccarat and Chinese games such as tai sai andpai gow, with poker barely registering. There are also countless slot machines, but they all require signing up with Genting's WorldCard [4] system if you want to withdraw any winnings.

• Monte Carlo Casino, Genting/Highlands Hotel. This is easily the largest of the casinos and you'll probably find your vice of choice in here somewhere — they even have a few video poker machines. Visitors with foreign passports are allowed to enter the "International Room" VIP zone if they agree to sign up to WorldCard.

• Hollywood Casino, Genting/Highlands Hotel.

• StarWorld Casino, First World Hotel.

No bags are allowed inside, but lockers are available (RM 3), as well as a manned deposit point for more valuable goods like laptops. Photography inside the casinos is strictly prohibited.

Entertainment

• Arena of Stars, . Hosts concerts and shows most weekends, but most feature B-grade Chinese pop stars or Western artists well past their prime.

• First World Plaza, Malaysia's self-proclaimed highest shopping mall, this is an ungainly mix of indoor theme park and low-rent shopping mall with replicas of random landmarks from around the world, all covered with a giant metal roof that makes the entire place seem dark and dingy.

• First World Cineplex, Times Square, First World Plaza. Two small cinemas.

• Genting International Convention Centre (GICC). Convention center with various halls capable of hosting events, concerts and performances for up to 2,000 people.

Theme parks

Eat

Food in Genting is generally overpriced and mediocre. Local, Western and fast food are available, but prices are often twice or more what the same meal would cost in Kuala Lumpur. Most restaurants are halal to cater for the large number of Muslim visitors.

Budget

There are a number of fast food chains like McDonald, Burger King, KFC, and Marrybrown. All these restaurants charge about 50% higher than what they charge elsewhere in Malaysia. Try Marybrown's Nasi Lemak meal as breakfast: one piece of chicken, a hot tea/coffee, and other Nasi Lemak condiments for RM ~10.

• Penang Food Village, (Theme Park Hotel). would be unremarkable anywhere else in Malaysia, but in Genting it's a notch above the competition: prices are reasonable (most remain under RM10), there are no crowds or clouds of smoke, and the food is tasty. Try thelor mee (noodles in black gravy). The spicy prawn noodle soup and the Penang Fried Kway Teow are not to be missed.The prawn noodles are nice too.  edit

Herbal soup near Genting Skyway- It's just a small shop selling herbal soup from RM8.80++. You can add rice for RM2++. Tasty soup and affordable price. One of the cheaper food options in Genting.

Mid-range

There are some decent Chinese restaurants like the Causeway Bay (FW Plaza Second floor) and Shanghai 10 (FW Plaza Main Atrium). They serve good food and a meal for 3 (1 main course, side dish and a drink per pax) should not cost you more than RM 60.

Genting Mushroom Farm has a restaurant offers chinese food, which is easily accessable by car.

• Coffee Terrace, Genting Hotel. Newly renovated restaurant with an international buffet in plush settings, with many chefs cooking on-the-spot upon your orders. It serves 6 different cuisines - Local, Nonya, Chinese, Japanese, Western and Indian. Recommendations include Penang Fried Kway Teow, Chicken Rice, Indian Naan, Japanese Sashimi (really fresh) and Medium-well beef steak. Breakfast (5:30AM-10:30AM) RM 35 nett, lunch (12noon-2:30PM) RM 55 nett, dinner (5PM-9:30PM) RM 65 nett. Children pay half price for all meals. The Go Genting Golden Package (see above, 'Get in by bus') may be used to cover the cost of a buffet lunch here.  edit

Splurge

• The Olive, (Genting Hotel). Genting's signature award-winning restaurant, located in the hotel lobby, attractively done in a very modern style. Very expensive, but if you're going to splurge, you might as well go whole hog and try the Wagyu steak, flown in directly from Japan.  edit

Drinkg]

Nightlife in Genting is very limited. There are four (4) bars of any description in the entire complex, three of them (Safari, Cloud 9, All Sports) in the lower level of the Genting Hotel and one (Patio) on the second floor of the First World Hotel.

• Safari, Genting Hotel (lower level). Tropical jungle theme, spinning R&B.

Sleep

Note that all rooms areunheated and can thus get chilly at night!

• First World Hotel, . Catering towards the masses and the budget conscious, this three-star monolith with gaudy exterior paint is (by some measures) the biggest hotel in the entire world, with 6,118 rooms in two towers. And you aren't likely to forget it: check-in queues often stretch over an hour, room numbers have five digits and the enormous First World Cafe's breakfast buffet has all the charm of a reform school cafeteria. Standard/deluxe rooms are spartan but clean. The main selling point is the price: while rack rate is RM 240, advance booking weekday promotions go for as little as RM 20.

what to do if you are involved in a road accident?  IN  Malaysia

 You may have injured yourself or another person or you may have damaged your vehicle or another person's vehicle in the process. If critical go to nearest hospital  leave the car behind WITHOUT BLOCKING THE ROAD IF POSSIBLE-Get a medical report and if possible copies of medical reports.

ON TOW TRUCK OPERATOR

 The best option is to call your car’s official service centre or dealer for emergency roadside assistance. Certain models with electronic gear selectors and/or parking brakes may even need a special tool to engage a “tow mode.” Otherwise, the next best choice is to go with the tow truck service provided by your motor insurance company, or an association like AAM (Automobile Association of Malaysia) that offers breakdown services.

At the accident site

call the police,call the insurance,call any one who can help /assist you

Toll truck operator will be there in a min Do not entertain him- call insurance get them to take the vehicle to an Branded authorised  service center/repair center. Possible after arrival the police for them to record the even position of vehicles

   Take down (take photo)the particulars of the vehicles involved in the accident -- registration numbers, If possible make of the vehicle (year and model), and colour.

  Next, take down the particulars of the driver/passengers/witnesses -- name, address, identity card number, driving licence number, and telephone number (work and home).

 take some photographs of the accident site as well as the vehicles involved. Remember to keep the negatives in a safe place as photographs without their negatives may not be admissible as evidence in court.

At the police station

You should make a police report within 24 hours of the accident at the nearest police station. If you are injured, seek medical aid first and then you can make a police report at the police beat base in the hospital. In your report you must explain how the accident happened.

You can write out the report in Bahasa Malaysia and then sign at the bottom of the report. If you cannot write in Bahasa Malaysia you can explain to the police officer on duty who will write it down for you.PROBABLY - Always ask for a certified copy of the police report.

Dealing with the damage

1.     Read your insurance policy carefully. You should report the accident to your insurance company within the period stated in your policy. Otherwise your insurance company will not entertain your claim.

2.     Arrange for your vehicle to be towed to an authorised workshop.AUTHORISED BY THE MAKE OF THE VEHICLE  Here the damage to your vehicle will be assessed by assessors from the insurance company.

3.     If you are injured, get medical attention immediately. Get a medical report and if possible copies of medical reports.

Keeping records

You should keep a proper record of the following:

• all particulars taken down
• certified copies of police report
• medical reports
• receipts for expenses incurred, e.g. medical fees, transport charges, rental of vehicle, etc.
• documents supporting your claim -- photographs and negatives, repair bills, receipts, medical reports.

Claiming for damage to your vehicle

There are two ways of claiming for damages to your vehicle.

(1) Claim from your own insurance company

Examine your insurance policy and note the excess clause in your policy. In order to claim from your own insurance company, your claim must exceed the excess clause. Then, the insurance company will pay the difference between your claim and the excess amount.

For example, if the excess clause is RM1,000 and your claim is RM800, you will not be able to claim from your own insurance company. But if your claim is for RM1,800, then you will be paid RM800.

Always remember that when you claim from your insurance company, you will lose your no-claim bonus.

(2) Claim from the other party's insurance company

You can also claim from the other party's insurance company. If you decide to do so, it is preferable to engage a lawyer.

Engaging a lawyer (personally i would not think about a  lawyer at this stage)

If you want to file a claim, you should engage a lawyer. Remember, you have a right to choose your own lawyer. So, do not be influenced by people who pester you to accept the services of lawyers whom they represent.

Your lawyer will ask you to sign a warrant to act. This is a document appointing him/her as your lawyer and authorising the lawyer to act on your behalf. ( PERSONALLY IF I HAVE TO PAY THE LAWYER BEFORE INSURANCE  PAYMENT I  WOULD NOT EMPLOYER A LAWYER-A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY) LAWYER MUST AGREE HIS FEES MUST COME FROM THE OTHER SIDE OR INSURANCE!  THATS FOR ME

What will your lawyer do?

Your lawyer will:

• take down a full statement from you and examine all the documents that you have, consider the evidence, and explain to you the types and the quantum of claims that you may be granted.
• write letters to the police station for copies of the police reports as well as the sketch map of the accident site.
• if you have not obtained the medical reports, the lawyer will write to the hospital for medical reports.
• write to the insurance company concerned for compensation.
• if no adequate compensation can be obtained, the lawyer will file a civil suit, prepare the documents and get ready for trial. Even at this stage, parties are free to arrive at a settlement.

What can you claim?

An injured person can claim for special damages, and general damages.

• Special damages -- These are claims for specific expenses (e.g. transport, repairs to vehicles, hiring another vehicle, medical expenses). Generally, special damages deal with specific monetary expenses, incurred by the claimant as a result of the accident.
•  
• General damages -- These are compensations for pain and suffering as a result of injuries caused to a person.

Keeping records

If the matter goes to trial, then the Court will have to decide the issues of :

• Liability -- Who is responsible for causing the accident?
• Quantum -- How much should the injured party receive?

If the defendant is fully responsible for the accident, he will be said to be 100% liable.

There may also be instances when the claimant is also partly responsible for the accident. In such a case, the plaintiff is said to be contributorily negligent.

In this case the Court will assess the degree of the claimant's responsibility in percentage terms in causing the accident and reduce the quantum accordingly.

Thus, if the Court finds that the claimant is 50% liable, then the Court will reduce the quantum by 50%.

Collecting the money

The cheque will issued by the insurance company in your name and will be forwarded to your lawyer. Your lawyer will then inform you to come to his office to collect the cheque.

One final warning!  THIS IS CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY MONEY -ONLY -TALKS  ,PLENTY WILL COME TO ASSIST TO SLAUGHTER TOO TAKE CARE.At  a time like this you will be fragile but they do not care

Remember you have a right to choose your own lawyer.TO  TRUCK OPERATOR ,REPAIR CENTRE  Do not be forced into choosing a lawyer TRUCK OPERATOR ,REPAIR CENTRE,by touts.

you should never hand over your vehicle to someone that you do not know or trust, especially so if they appear even a tiny bit dodgy. Even if they appear to be nice, it’s always wise to err on the side of caution. Know that you have the rights to refuse their service and wait for your preferred tow truck to arrive.

this is very interesting story a true story in Malaysia  take care

a response to  the above  the opinions advice stated are no by this blogger but for outside source except at your wish only On thing for certain DO NOT ALLOW TOW TRUCK OPERATOR TO TOUCH YOUR CAR- EVEN TOUCHING CAN CAUSE YOU MONEY

this webpage fails to mention one thing. the one and only thing – DO NOT MOVE THE CAR regardless of whatever the situation is, until the official insurance roadside service arrives.

nevermind the jam and traffic piles up – i am saying this honest and sarcasm free – you just dont panic and keep asking everyone to wait for the insurance roadside service arrives. even if you see people cursing or angry people all round you, in the above case including the pressuring police people.

that should be your first and foremost concern

      You know drMpower does have a point. But I’m not saying leave your car in the middle of the road and cause a massive jam, just move it to the side. Don’t ever ever deal with some tow trucks on the road if you have to slightest doubt on them. I’ve cursed people blocking the road before, but when you are in that situation, everything’s changed.

          The car won’t crash to another car without a driver. You choke when you eat, then you blame your bowl?

          However, the car will break down itself and stall the traffic. 100/100 times it is a Proton.

          *the broken down Iswara/wira/waja have no vsc abd airbags too, so what say you?

        you should cursed ppl who slow down or stopped their vehicle and watch what is happening. Sometime slow down will cause more accident. Some ppl just never realized the danger of the situation. If you want to help park your vehicle properly without blocking the way.

    Today, almost everybody carry a smartphone. Take a picture or a short clip of the incident and its surrounding and then move your car to the side of the road if possible.

    I hate to see people with minor accident and a small dent on the bumper yet causing a massive traffic jam on the road simply because they insist to move and and arguing with the other party in the middle of road.

  Many of these independent tow truck are heartless thugs who should be in jail or better still given the hudud punishment.

  If they can engineer accidents that can kill you and your family, do you think they care about your wellbeing at all?

  I personally experienced these thugs trying to engineer crash on the Plus Highway, both times just after Tapah going up the long uphill road towards Ipoh.

  I had experienced once on PLUS(before Nilai exit(3-5km) bcoz of water hose broke apart), within 30min of distant, driving slow bcos high temperature, at least 7-8 tow truck operator approached me wanted to tow my car. But i refused! even 2 PLUS highway patrol came and keep asking me to let tow truck operator tow. At the end i exit Nilai, park my car near some shop, remove that broken hose, ride a Taxi(to&fro, 20minutes, charged Rm35 without meter), went to nearest spare part shop buy(Rm15.00 a piece) and back to install myself, refill water from toll toilet, took me 3hours(difficult to find Taxi) and continued my journey. Taxi uncle said i’m lucky not to let them towed my car.

  Nowdays, many insurers provide free towing service for certain distant. If out of boundary, the charges are reasonable. Always put the sticker with insurance company contact number on the windscreen. During emergency just call them.

  Had experience car broken down before. Those thuggish tow truck swarm around me in no time. But I was really firm and steadfast and they finally left me alone. Even those highway operator tow trucks work in cohort with unscruplous workshop. Dont trust them.

  Once a friend car involved in accident. He was being harassed by those tow truckers in agressive manner. He called some buddies to come over. We all went over in about 5 cars. There were about 10 of us now. And the tow truck fellas backed off just like pussies.

  I had an experience where I believe I was set up by the tow truck syndicates.

  The road was dark and quiet (bkt jalil highway towards puchong), and out of nowhere there was a pile of bricks, and i kid you not, the bricks are laid out nicely in the middle of the road, i had to swerve violently to avoid collision and my esc kicked in, despite the best effort of the car to control the sudden change in direction, my car (audi a4) brushed the divider and subsequently the tyres were damaged along with my skirting..

  lo and behold, within 2 minutes a tow truck came and pretended to be a good samaritan.. i declined his offer (it was only 200 but i believe they will ask for a bigger ransom later) and slowly drove my car towards the petrol station, they followed and tailgated me, seemingly to intimidate me when they were shouting for me to get their service..

  parked my car at the petrol station and return home with a taxi, before i reclaimed the car with a trusted tow truck company the next day…

  Are the authorities waiting for reports from victim, then take action ah?

  You mean police will only take action when there was death after robbery?

  You mean JPJ only take action only when scam happpened?

  RTD only make studies, report and lastly take action when there were death involved at certain stretch of road??

  I’d be honest, not even the insurance companies are good.

  I had a car that broke down, under warranty. Called up the manufacturer, and they told me they would take 3 hours to get a tow for me. In the same time, was trying to get contact with my insurance company instead, they had no idea what time they could get theirs, so I waited. In the mean time, after an hour, the insurance company called to inform some guy is coming in an hour, while my manufacturer called back to say they have found a guy to come in 30 minutes, Tried to cancel the insurance company one, they could not and I had to deal with speaking to the tow guy directly over the phone.

  Which is refused, although he was almost 20 km from where I was, while my manufacturer tow was 5 km away. He still got there after my manufacturer’s tow came and when I declined he called the “insurance company” (in actual fact the boss of the tow place) and made me speak to them.

  Lets just say he got a piece of my mind before I paid him cash to shut up and get lost. A good thing I got the manufacturer to come in to tow it, cause my car has an electronic gear lever and handbrake, so you have to manually enable tow mode if the car can’t start – while the insurance guy wanted to dump it on a dolly – which when I checked my manual after that, the manufacturer doesn’t recommend cause you will fry the diff.

  Let’s just say my next policy will not be from these morons ever. On the other hand, MSIG was pretty good though when they got there in the rain and traffic to have my battery sorted.

  You have the tow truck’s plate registration number and you still busy crashing into rakyats’ premises to arrest for not paying your RM300 summons. Hello, the victim has paid more than RM2000 just to get his car back from the vultures, more than 6 times the RM300 summon.

  A similar incident happened to my close family member about 2 years ago. The accident happened in Klang. The so called “call-man” arrived instantly like as though they already knew it was a hot spot for accidents. Within 15 mins, there was a total of 8 cars, all of whom are his friends and they managed to double park the damaged car. They then insisted that we use their workshop for repairs but since the car was quite new, we called the “official service center”. This angered them and they started to threaten us. Claiming that they will be able to locate our home from the number plate. In addition, they also warned us that they will be looking out for our car on the street. When one of us tried to take photos of them, they immediately retaliated and threaten to beat us up and break our phones. The nearest police station was just 5 mins walking distance, one of us already went there. After a long agonizing 30 mins wait with all the threats of beating us up, a police officer came to the scene. To our dismay, they seem to know each other. When our tow truck from the official service center came, he was not allowed to tow our car unless we pay these gangsters. Even the police man instructed these people to move their cars too. However, they threaten again and again in front of the police man to watch our backs. They also told the tow truck driver that his truck will be in danger too if he tows our car. They claimed to be connected to the police station too and spoke quietly to the police. I was in shock because the police man just ignored their threats, even when it was spoken in national language.

  As a commoner, a family with young kids, how could we take such risk to watch our back in the future? We had no choice but to pay these thugs off. If we did not, the official service center tow truck also dare not tow our car away. As long as these thugs are still in business and highly connected, there is no advice to give from this experience of mine. If your car can still move, drive it to the nearest police station. Otherwise, prepare for some handouts.

  i would like to advise public whenever accident happened. Firstly, pls call your insurance company toll free number to help you to tow the vehicle and it is FREE and cap to RM300 for accident and cap to RM200 if breakdown. This is sufficient for you to tow the vehicle to your insurance panel workshop. Don’t need to listen the towing man say anything. Just be calm and call insurance company as well for further advise.

Not every service centre are good in service also. Waiting for the fixing will make us frustrated and the quality after fixed going to drive us more crazy. Sent in Toyota seksyen 15 shah alam and after that send in to Toyota shamelin cheras becoz the shah alam one did the shit job. screw also gone few pieces …. damned.
