As an example, in the early years of 1930 when I was District Officer of Kuala Nerang, I had to visit the areas considered far from the town. I name for instance my visit to Durian Burong. 

It was difficult to judge the distance because it took all day to reach our destination through a jungle path. But recently when I covered the distance in a car, it took me about 20 minutes from Kuala Nerang to reach it. I couldn't believe that this was the same place.
