LIVING and working near the National Stadium Bukit Jalil is a mixed bag of blessings and challenges. On the positive side, residents get to enjoy the ambient sounds of concerts and energetic cheers during football matches.

The challenge is in the form of traffic gridlocks, especially before and after the events. An encounter with the traffic snarl associated with the Coldplay performance in November last year is an example of this double-edged situation. Many were ensnared in a traffic jam, where a 10km drive took a staggering one and a half hours!
