Selama Perak, Selama Kedah

My hometown is Selama in the state of Perak. Just across the border is another Selama town in the state of Kedah. The Krian river separate the two Selama towns. When I was small, I used to ride my bicycle and every once in a while, cross the bridge into Kedah. Immediately I will know that I am now in a different state by the way the local speak. The people of the two towns speak different dialects although its only the river that separate us!
