Also safer if you are not driving luxury car.

Remember to buy car lock to lock your steering wheel when parking.

We planned to drive up to Sunway during June holiday and this is our first time driving to Malaysia with 3 kids. May I know is it safe to drive with kids or better to travel by coach?

Drive during daytime, avoid ulu locations. (especially toilet breaks)
Best if you can drive in convoy, or follow another SG car up north.

I have been going up north almost once a year, touch wood still no close encounters. If it happens, it happens, do not struggle, lives are more important.

When driving with kids, I have the flexibility to plan my trip, stop/detour etc.
Much more convenient for me.

Last time i travelled from KL to Cameron Highlands, we rented a Malaysian car. Felt safer. Also luckily didn’t drive own car up Cameron. Will have heartache, especially if the car go up the steep slope on a hump. Can really be taxing on its suspension. Each time the proton wira we drove went up a hump, we could literally feel like our buttocks touch the road.

Actually I don't know the definition of a luxury car.
Maybe 2L and above?
Actually luxury car or not, still better to be vigilant.
Many years back, DH's parents 10 year old malaysian registered nissan sunny was stolen. It was never found. His parents say not so heartache cos car was a prize from a lucky draw.

When parking in KL, do use a lock to lock the steering wheel.
My sis in law who lives in KL locks her steering wheel each time she parks.

Came across this on youtube.

Better consider protecting your windows with shatter proof material.

Thanks in advance.

You mean KL Sentral?
If from Sentral to sunway lagoon by cab, should be 45min to 1 hour depending on traffic condition. Look for kiosk that sells taxi coupon.
