TRANSPORTATION

To get from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to your hotel, take a taxi (there is no convenient train connection). Purchase a coupon first at a counter inside the terminal building before proceeding to the taxi. Purchase a coupon only at an official counter and do not follow individuals offering you taxi service. Rates vary according to the type of taxi used. For more information please see:

To get from your hotel to the conference venue and back to your hotel, you have two alternatives:

1. Take a conference bus. If you are staying in Kajang (Hotel New City, Prescott Metro Inn, Oriental Crystal Hotel, or any other hotel in Kajang), walk over to the commuter train station and take an early train (direction: Seremban) from Kajang to UKM station. This is only ONE STOP, so be sure not to miss it. A bus will be ready right outside the UKM station at 7:30 on both conference days. Look for the sign saying ‘SEALS’. If you are staying at the Equatorial Hotel, there will be a bus waiting outside the lobby also at 7:30. The same buses will return to the UKM commuter train station at the end of the program.

2. Take a taxi. Use only a red official taxi. The taxis do not have meters, so you need to agree on the fare with the driver before boarding. It should be about RM 15-20. Tell the driver to take you to the foyer of FSSK (the School of Social Sciences and Humanities) at UKM. Going back in the afternoon, if you choose to take a taxi, the organizers would be happy to order one for you.
