Good new! The Malaysian government has approved the application of Firefly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), to service the Senai-Ipoh and Subang-Ipoh air routes.
This is due to Firefly which will be using turbo prop aircraft, was suitable for the short flights ranging from two to two-and-half hours.

Firefly flies twice a week from Penang to Langkawi, Kota Baharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan, Phuket and Koh Samui. It started the domestic operations on April 3, and its international operations 10 days later using two Fokker Friendship aircraft.

Trader hotel review

I found this review from TraBuddy by Goodday

"I just got back from a business trip in KL where I stayed at Traders Hotel. It's a good business class hotel, rated 4 star, but more of 5 star to me. Quite like Intercontinnental Hotel in Hamburg where I stayed for one week in December last year."

"For venue, it's right next to the KL convention centre where I attended meetings and next to KLCC shopping centre. Although shopping is not my cup of tea, it's good to walk the mall (good exercise after all the feasting) and browse the shops and see what's the latest in fashion and more."

"What I particularly enjoyed most at the hotel besides the excellent breakfast spread was the skybar pool located at 33rd floor, not so much the pool, although it was great with spa, but more importantly, it's the VIEW of the manificent Petronas Twin Towers!! Best time to be there as I found - head for a swim at sunset.. and come back after dinner for a drink to catch the manificent twin towers lighted up. It's amazing!!"
