Assalamualaikum and hi everyone :)

I just want to share a story of two orang asli girls who survived in the Malaysian jungle for more than 40 days without food are now able to sit up in bed and do some colouring. 

The girls are, Norieen Yaakob,10 and Miksudiar Aluj, 11, found alive after missing for more than 40 days in jungle with other 5 friends. They were found alive near Sg. Perias. Both of them were the eldest among seven who went missing from their school.

Their mother said that, Norieen and Miksudiar were still traumatised as they had seen their friends die one by one and they even slept with a dead body near them with all the smell and maggots. 

Mission in finding the seven orang asli students

I hope both of them will speedy recovery and continue study. For the other five students, deepest condolence for their family and be strong .

BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF MALAYSIA

Assalamualaikum and hi :)

TOURISM Malaysia has helped select 15 beaches from 10 States to feature in 101 Best Beaches. Here, I just want to share some of it.

1. Desaru Beach in Johor

Located about 100km from Johor Baru, Desaru is very popular for its clean beaches, excellent golf courses and unique attractions.  The beaches are clean, lined with casuarina trees and stretch 25km. Visitors can enjoy fun-filled activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking among others. There are numerous hotels, resorts and chalets in the area, making accommodation easy and convenient.

 2 - Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu 

Situated 21km off the coast of Terengganu, it consists of the islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil. It is a sanctuary for fishermen, migratory birds and holiday-makers. 

 3 - Teluk Kemang in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan

 Pantai Teluk Kemang is one of the popular weekend retreats for city dwellers in Port Dickson. Port Dickson is said to have been named after a British officer, Sir John Frederick Dickson, in 1889. Others say the place was named after another British officer who supervised the British ports handling ore in Lukut,a district of Port Dickson at the time. 

4 - Cenang in Pulau Langkawi, Kedah 

Being the centre of Langkawi’s tourism infrastructure, Pantai Cenang’s wide and long beach is the most popular beach on the island. It is a lively place at night with various bars and restaurants. Despite being the most popular beach on the island with its dense infrastructure, some spots along the beach are still tranquil. All kinds of facilities and services are available along Jalan Pantai Cenang, which runs parallel to the beach. Accommodation can be found on both sides of the road. On the beach side, you can find resorts and bungalows with beach views while on the other side on the road, you can find more budget-friendly accommodation at lower prices.

I went to Cenang and Desaru with my family for short vacation few years ago. The place was really beautiful. I live in Kedah so it is easy for me to go to Langkawi again next time. Before semester break last year, I went to Teluk Kemang with my classmates and enjoy one day with them. I hope that I can go to Pulau Perhentian next time either with my family or my friends.
