Opening ceremony Sea Games 2017

 

My first ever

Sea Games 2017

After all these years finally I had the opportunity to attend Sea Games at Bukit Jalil sport complex. To avoid traffic jam I decided to go by public transport.  I took Rapid KL from SS18 station, changing to STAR LRT at Mesjid Jamik KL. The journey took about one hour. 

The was already a big crowd by the time I reached the Stadium.

Being the early bird I managed to get a seat with excellent view. The facility was upgraded recently. The stadium with 100,000 capacity is an appropriate venue for such a prestigious event. The Bukit Jalil Sport Complex was completed in 1998 as the main venue for Commonwealth Games.

The opening ceremony commenced around 0815pm. The Agong was present to officiate the event. It was a spectacular event. I have no regret at all attending despite having to skip a wedding and a birthday bash. 

For the return trip I decided to try an alternative route by taking STAR LRT to Putra Height and changing to Rapid KL to reach SS18 station. I reached home just before mid-nite. Very tired but very satisfied.
