We went to Bukit Melawati after our lunch break. Nothing interesting there: a small museum, lots of monkeys, and a light house (yes, that's why we were there).

Would've taken more photos if wasn't for the extremely hot weather. Have to remind myself to come earlier next time to avoid the late-morning sun.
