Please note that the route is as per map below. The reverse flow of certain roads that are part of the recommended route may be closed (meaning you may be able to travel from A to B as recommended BUT not from B to A)

Whatever it is, we anticipate traffic flow to be chaotic due to the road closures - please depart earlier!



Better still, take the monorail (stop at Bukit Nanas station) or the LRT (stop at Dang wangi Station).

Please see the following roads closure to plan your route. (below)

The good news is that the following stretches of road are open throughout the day:
a) Jalan P Ramlee in front of KL Tower - (from Shangri La heading towards The Weld) and

You can turn right from Jalan Sultan Ismail (on the side of Concorde Hotel) into Jalan P Ramlee and head towards Jalan Puncak, if you can get there! The Challenge is getting to that stretch of Jalan Sultan ismail

Directions from KL Tower into Bukit Nanas

If you are planning to head to BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011 site via KL Tower, the following information maybe useful:

1. If you are driving, the Ticket booth (halfway up the hill to KL Tower) is open from 7am. Collect your parking ticket and continue your drive up the hill to the carpark right in fromt of KL Tower. Park your car.

2. For those intending to take the shuttle van from the foothill, it may not be operational then (before 9am). You will have to WALK up the hill to KL Tower.

3. At KL Tower, look for the KL Tower Animal Zone - located beside the escalators up to KL Tower. It is behind this KL Tower Animal Zone that you will find the suspension bridge that leads to the venue of  BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011.




Although the parking charges is at RM 2.65 per hour at KL Tower, this is the easiest and fastest route to reach the site of BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011.

Alternatively, take the Monorail (to Bukit Nanas station) or LRT KJ Line (to Dang Wangi station). Hail a taxi in the vicinity to take you up Bukit Nanas instead of walking up from the other entrance to Bukit Nanas at Jalan Ampang/Jalan Sultan Ismail junction (Wariseni).

Better still, car-pool with the others - it saves cost, fuel and you guys are doing your bit in saving the environment!

See you soon!

All about the activities

DO YOU KNOW?

Do you know what BAR MALAYSIA stands for?

The Board of Airline Representatives(BAR)-Malaysia is an organization comprising all scheduled airlines with permanent representation in Malaysia, represented by a senior member of their own staff.

The BAR in Malaysia was initiated in the early 70s and from an entity of a few airlines it has grown into an organization with a total membership of 40 airlines todate. 

The key objectives of the BAR include providing a forum for discussion of issues and matters of interest to the international civil aviation industry in Malaysia and also to make representations on behalf of members to any appropriate organization/body/authorities on matters which are of common interest to members and to the aviation industry.   Besides its own regular ordinary/general meetings, BAR-Malaysia also works closely with the Ministry of Transport, Tourism Malaysia, Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad and other appropriate bodies through formal/informal meetings and dialogues on matters of common interest and concern.

BAR-Malaysia is a non-profit making organization and its normal activities are financed by annual levies from member airlines derived through a yearly budget process.

The principal office bearers comprise a Chairman and Secretary cum Treasurer from the National Carrier, and an elected Deputy Chairman.

The BAR-Malaysia Secretariat is located at the office of Malaysia Airlines, Admin 3 Building, MAS Complex B, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, 47200, Subang, Selangor.


BAR MALAYSIA STAFF FUN DAY 2011

This is an event created by the specially set up Committee headed by Air France-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to bring the staff of the represented Airlines together for a day of fun and laughter out in the green forest park of Bukit Nanas - right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

The theme is simply - Fun.

16 October 2011 is the day when the staff and management of the different represented Airlines get to "sweat it out" by participating in the fun activities organized just for them in a forest environment.

With more than 60 sponsors (Thank YOU very much for your kind support, Sponsors!!) and still counting, there's plenty of gifts and prizes to take home.  NO ONE leaves Bukit Nanas empty-handed - that's for sure.


Stay tuned for some more interesting facts about Bukit Nanas and even more information of the iactivities specially organized for you.

Important Notes

In order to make your presence more delightful at the event, do take note of the follow matters:

a) Have you collected your T Shirt from Air France-KLM office yet?

c) "Travel" light - there's no need to bring lots of cash. Leave all valuables behind (at home).

d) Possible items you may find useful to bring:  sun block lotion / insects-mosquito repellent / disposable raincoat - umbrellas can be a hindrance and sometimes a hazard in the forest! / cap or sun visor if you have not gotten the FREE cap from BAR Malaysia for wearing the official T shirt to Bukit Nanas on 16 October.

e) If you are on medication, do bring your medicine along. Although we do have a first aid box at site, we dont stock specialised medicine, only first-aid medicine and materials...

f) Come with a sporting spirit - you are here to enjoy yourself and meet/develop new friendship with peers from fellow airlines - not compete with them.

g) Punctuality - be there on time so that you wont miss out on any of the activities to which you will earn points that determine the type of prizes you can WIN....

h) Visit this Blog regularly from now until 15 October 2011 - who knows, you may find some USEFUL tips that could help you in the planned activities...and therefore, win valuable prizes!!!
