AS someone who was born in the late 1970s and grew up in the 1980s, I was fortunate, like my generational peers, to witness Malaysia’s rapid modernisation. While kids my generation spent a lot of time at the malls, I preferred to hit the road and was witness to the many change was in our roads and highways. I recall the development of PLUS (Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan) from Sungai Besi until Seremban where the new, wide highway ended, and you had to continue via the trunk roads to Johor.
