my best riding routes in malaysia

this is just my personal opinion. base on my experiences riding throughout Malaysia. i look from a few aspects like road surface, traffic, corners, safety signage and so forth. there are a few places that i have not been there yet like kuala kelawang, therefore i cannot comment.

1. sg koyan-cameron highland-gua musang
rode thru this ride a few times. never feel enough. road surface, i can say about 80% good from sg koyan to cameron highland. 20% may be for the landslide and bumps especially at the corners. low traffic. but we have to be careful still. low to medium speed corners. cameron to gua musang even better. 90% road surface are good. less traffic. hardly see other vehicles. scenic view all the way.especially when you are approaching cameron from sg koyan.
2. pengakalan gawi, kenyir-felda aring, kelantan
very scenic view. the road is alongside with the lake kenyir. so beautiful if your riding in the early morning and sunset. road surface 90% good until you reach felda aring which is 70% dirt and gravel. low to medium speed corners. a lot of truck moving logs and palm oil. so please be carful riding this road.
3. grik, perak-kulim, kedah
partly highway if you are from kulim. road surface excellent. high speed corners. but watch out for bumps sometimes.
4. jerangau, terengganu-jabor, pahang
i do not know why i kinda like this route. may be because this is my regular route. visiting my parents in kuala terengganu i guess. got a few area need the resurface. the rest are good. low to medium speed corners. not really scenic view. but it is awesome during early morning ride. just like you can touch the cloud just above your head.
5. bandar penawar-tanjung sedili(johor)
this is very relaxing ride along the coastal line. road are bumpy but manageable. scenic view. very beautiful beach. windy sometimes. 
6. jerantut-kuala tahan(pahang)
a lot of corners. short corners. narrow road too. extra careful when riding thru here.
