Fascination with rivers - Intro

Peace be upon you all. It has been 2 weeks since I made the last posting here Tribute to the August Brunei trip. But if you watch closely you would notice that I've changed a bit of this blogspot's layout and added some materials on the sidebar. In fact in the last 4 days I've been working very hard to make all my three blogspots more interesting and past articles easier to access within what I believe should be the right framework, easy to access and follow for anyone.

The process demands that I also make a number of new articles. While I've added some in the other two blogspots I have yet to do one here. It happened that for a while I wanted to make a section called "Fascination with rivers" at this blogspot's sidebar using relevant past articles. While I'm at it why not present the materials first as new articles with contents which then could be easily rearranged to be slotted into the sidebar?

So without much further ado, let me introduce the concept. The idea is to gather old articles on rivers I have featured directly or indirectly here and let it be arranged anti-clockwise following the coastline of Peninsular Malaysia starting from the north. Should there be more than one article on any river then I would try to arrange the links starting with those on the upriver parts down to the estuary which should conform to the coastline lay-out. So here's a list of rivers (called sungai in Malay) to be featured.

After this I will release materials and links based on sections to be called, North West Coast, Middle West Coast, South and the East Coast. You can match the list with the map above. Open the picture in another window for a better look...
