NOTE: Mr Murali was Top-Rate. Benka used him to get her bike from Malaysia to Nepal, and Mika Kuhn used him to import from Japan (I think). He's also sent/rec'd vehichles. Port Klang is about 50km from Kuala Lumpor, but Murali will probably treat you to a great seafood dinner on the waterfront, then deliver you to train which goes direct back to KL.
