After coming back from Tokyo, we had a road trip to Tg Langsat - Johor on the week end. One of the few villages namely Kg Kopok was where my paternal grandmother lived with my dad when he was a kid. Majority of the villagers are family members, each with their own plot of rubber plantation. I remembered during my younger days staying there during school holidays or whenever relatives there were getting married. Uncles, aunties would invite us to bunk in their house. But usually we will stay in my grand father' s house. Now the villages are all gone and relocated at Kg Kopok Bahru nearer to Masai since more than 20 years ago.
The whole area of Tg Langsat was planned for an industrial area. But till date, after more than 20 years, large part of it is still an empty land with pockets of small villages by the coast.
