We featured Selangor in our previous Travelling Guide. This month’s feature is Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus—the “Special Abode”. The name “Negeri Sembilan” is believed to come from the Minangkabau word for village, “nagari”, of which there were nine in the region, hence “Negeri Sembilan”. Unlike most other states in Malaysia, the ruler of the state […]
The name “Mitsui” might sound familiar to you, and that’s because of Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang, which was built in 2015 as a collaboration between Mitsui Fudosan and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB). Did you know that the history of Mitsui spans almost 350 years to date? It began when Mitsui Takatoshi established the […]
If you’ve heard of the term “white Christmas” you might be wondering what it is. A white Christmas refers to having snowy weather on Christmas day. While we won’t be expecting to see snow anytime soon in Malaysia, we can have the next best thing, which is to enjoy the cold climate in one of […]
After more than one and a half years of being prevented from crossing over to each other, the Singapore-Malaysia Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) finally allows Singaporeans and Malaysians to cross the causeway and visit each other without having to be quarantined. With that said, while Malaysians travelling to Singapore won’t have to worry about getting […]
On 11 October 2021, Malaysia opened up interstate and international travel for fully vaccinated individuals as we’ve now reached the 90% target for adult inoculations against COVID-19. This means fully vaccinated Malaysians can now travel overseas without having to apply for any permission, at least on our side—certain countries may still have additional requirements. So, […]
It has been a while since our last Travelling Guide, which was about Kelantan, before we were hit by the CMCO back in October 2020. Now that the situation has let up, and over 90% of the adult population has already been fully vaccinated, the government has seen it fit to open up interstate travel […]
The Langkawi travel bubble is the government’s pilot project for facilitating domestic travel bubbles for local tourists; other destinations would be open when they hit an 80% local vaccination rate as well. It couldn’t have come at a better time as Malaysia is currently above 50% fully vaccinated, which means we’re moving towards turning the […]
If you love greeny natures like me, you would definitely fall in love on this lovely mangrove rainforest, especially the fresh breeze after rain, smells so refreshing and lovely.
Penang is definitely our family’s all-time favourite Cuti-Cuti Malaysia destination. We try to go once a year during less peak season so we get to enjoy Penang better without the school holiday crowd. We love Penang not only for the food but the people, beaches, rich cultures, both traditional and modern structures and it’s uniqueness. […]
Sunsets are my favourite time of the day and I had the pleasure of spending a precious tender moment with my daughter on one of Langkawi’s beautiful beaches. I still remember the sun was at its last legs before disappearing and the gentle breeze was caressing our faces with the rhythmic sound of the […]
