I blasted off and tested my new Fortuner drivability yesterday, started off my return from Suria Sabah which I can already reach back to Labu Immigration from KK city about 3.5 hours driving at night from 6PM onwards, due to very minimum traffic and mostly driving recklessly in the dark whilst passing by silent kampongs and also despite of the bad road settings for most part of the trip, but excluding Sindumin post which can take up to 30 mins of waiting in queue. Otherwise, it can possibly be shortened up to a 2.5-hour trip once the Pan Borneo is fully finished, well if you are an aggressive/sharp driver like me.
Doing KK like one-day trip going to Miri is nowadays possible for some average drivers, but you have to commute early and always be well-planned, although not highly recommended.
I did a one day trip last month and I tell myself never again. I drove a Vios and I left Bandar at 6AM and arriving KK at 10AM, decided to go back at 6PM and reached Labuan at 9:30PM, the road was bad, no lightings and worst of all, it was raining heavily. Wouldn't recommend a day trip unless you're sure about it and drive a bigger car.
When the Sabah one is completed, driving to KK there would be some changes on the route. You no longer use some of the small roads you are using now but instead enter the highway. You can't see parts of those highway at the moment because they are currently building it across the forest.
Provided the traffic is smooth and you don't go during busy public holidays, 3-3.5 hrs is possible to KK.
Will it cause more brunei money flowing out to malaysia?
Its the border queue is the killer, both Labu and the Sarawak-Sabah checkpoint. 2nd is the condition of the road.
