With the Malaysian Chess Festival in Mid Valley just around the corner, my pet peeve with the place is the nightmare parking situation in the mall.

I took the KTM train because I wanted to avoid the hassle of the finding parking space at Cititel Mid Valley. Also my place was only 6 minutes away from the Shah Alam station. However the entire trip too 2 ½ hours !! 

This is not chess related but a travel tip I hope will help those in the same boat too. I advice those who want to travel using KTM to download an app which has the KTM travel times. I only did it too late when I was waiting for the train at the station.


It did predict that my time of arrival to Cititel was 3:28pm and it was surprisingly accurate as that was the exact time I exited the train at Mid Valley station.

Just a short correction to my previous post on the parking fees for Ole Ole. If you park in or even just outside of Ole Ole shopping complex there is still the parking fee to be paid RM3 - 4 hours etc. However, if you park at Giant (just opposite) it is free as today is a Sunday and parking coupons are not needed.
