Peace be upon you all. More than 3 years ago a project called "Fascination with rivers" was started gathering links of articles showing views of selected rivers visited and taken pictures of in my travels. At the time 30 rivers around Peninsular Malaysia were listed while some were yet to be covered. Over time the list was extended to 33 and pictures of all listed rivers taken. Not only that, major rivers like the Kelantan river and/or its main tributaries are shown from up to 20 locations.
About 3 hours ago I made an article called Langat river at Bukit (hill of Jugra) which is the 9th article on that river. As it turned out it became the 1,187th article in this blogspot. A thought then came... why not make another article and hit the nice number 1,188? Since there have been much changes in the list of rivers presented under the name "Fascination with rivers", placed at the right sidebar of this blogspot why not present the latest list as the 1,188th article. So there... 33 rivers covered in almost 220 articles representating different views of the rivers from as many locations.
Fascination with rivers
I have always been fascinated by rivers or sungai in Malay. With the big ones (or the bigger parts normally downriver close to the estuary) I am astounded by the vastness, with the smaller ones (or the parts upriver close to the source normally at highlands) I am often charmed by the rapids and waterfalls. Here's a list of rivers I have visited in Peninsular Malaysia. The ones I have featured in articles come with relevant links while a few are waiting to be featured with future visits, God willing.North West Coast (Perlis, Kedah, Pulau Pinang)
