After completing emigration formalities at the woodlands (singapore), I crossed the 0.5km long causeway separating Malaysia and Singapore by bus. Then, I boarded an overnight train at Johor Baharu and arrived at the KL railway station the next day morning. Notice the Indian posters.
An ad on TV beckons Indians to buy jewellery.

The day I was to leave KL, an Indian film award function (3 days) was to begin at Stadium Putra. I ran away from the hussle and bussle.
The film 'Babul' was a front runner for the award. Hotel maya and the `maya nagari' (twin towers) are in the background.
Now, this appears like a real Indian movie festival!
Note the neon greetings “HAPPY DEEPAVALI” on the glass (aove the camel) on a building months after Deepavali (divali)
