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.
