From my hard disk, we found these old photos of our last holiday in Malaysia back in 2006 before we set off to Holland then. It was a 2 week fun filled adventure. Started in KL, rented a car and drove to Cameron Highland and stayed there, before heading off to Penang. From Penang we took an Air Asia flight, apparently it was the inaugural flight to the Low-Cost Terminal in KL. As we were with children, we got on the plane first and took the front seats.
It was only during the flight that the pilot announced the Malaysian PM would greet us as the first arrivals at the new terminal. There were loads of journalists and photographers waiting. So there we were…the first ones to get out of the plane and to be greeted...not Malaysian...but Bruneian… Our photos were splattered on every paper the next day. So there goes our brush with fame.
But now with the election over in Malaysia, things seem not really settling down yet. Ahmad Badawi was under pressured to step down and the few other states had their moments when it came to announcing their head of states. Whatever it will be, as long as the country remains stable, KL and the whole peninsular are great place to have holiday. However it is difficult to combine a stopover n Malaysia with our home leave… normally it almost doubles the ticket price. So for now we will stick to our holidays in Europe.
