Bird's eye view over Peninsular Malaysia

I was on a flight back to Singapore from Penang early this month. I deliberately chose a window seat, hoping to enjoy the 1.5-hour flight. It has been always a hobby of mine to identify landmarks, towns and structures from 22,000 ft. 

The plan flew southwards above the west coast of the peninsular, and made a sharp left turn when approaching the straits of Johor (between Singapore), flew above my home town of Skudai towards the east to the South China Sea, before making a U-turn into Changi Airport. 

It was a wonderful flight, and for once, I didn't sleep during a flight. 

The Penang 2nd Bridge, 24 km, and quite under-utilized

Jimah Power Station (2 blocks)

The jetty and coal unloading system

Downtown Melaka

An unidentifiable power station - It isn't Kapar nor Tuanku Jaafar. Anyone has the answer?

Iskandar Putri, or formerly known as Gelang Patah - Tun Aminah will be on the bottom left corner

Alas, the busiest international border in the world - The Causeway, where some 200,000 people cross everyday

Senoko Power Station

Jambatan Sungai Johor (connecting Pasir Gudang to Pengerang)

Tanjung Langsat industrial site (Malayan Sugar with blue/white roofs)

Jetty at Pengerang

Singapore (probably Tampines flats) on the foreground

The plane enters Changi Airport, passing by Changi Village, where you find the best nasi lemak on the island


I am always thankful for growing up and living in these countries.
