"Hi, Malaysia! It's been a long time since we met," she said. "There's a big traffic jam, it's just like a 'roadside carpark' now."
She added that the cars and tour buses had been stuck there for 30 minutes and "a lot of people have stopped to rest and wait for a while".
"Ahhh, the traffic is not moving at all!" she said.

A South Korean police officer was arrested on suspicion of leaking a report pertaining to the drug-use investigation into late actor Lee Sun-kyun, Yonhap reported yesterday (March 21).
He was arrested earlier that day at the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency by the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police's anti-corruption and financial crime unit.
The actor, known for his roles in the Oscar-winning movie Parasite and K-dramas Coffee Prince and My Mister, was first reported by South Korean media to be embroiled in a drug investigation in October last year, citing a police official.
Amidst a crackdown of drug use by celebrities, K-pop idol G-Dragon was also investigated and subsequently cleared in December.
On Dec 27, Sun-kyun was found dead of apparent suicide aged 48. He had reportedly been at his third police questioning and interrogated for 19 hours straight until Dec 24, 5am.
Following his death, showbiz professionals, including Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, held a press conference on Jan 12 urging the police to conduct a probe into whether the case was mishandled, who subsequently began looking into how the information got leaked.
