Sultan thanks for the great sites.

There are many other air strips not listed like Sitiawan,Bidor and Grik and one near PJ somewhere near Old Klang Road belonging to Boustead if anyone knows where that is.

Anyone knows about the strip at Fort Tapong in Perak I think or Pahang.

Its a one way in, definately no room for Go Around as a 90 degree hill slope at about 1000 feet faces the end of the landing run of about 500 feet.

Be careful about the one in Segamat or Mersing, when it rains it get soggy and you might not be able to complete your take-off run or worse ends in nose dig-in.
