Former corporate executive Munirah Abdul Samad and her husband, Abdullah Abdul Rahim’s farm in the small town of Sungkai in Perak gives visitors the impression of a treasured haven created just for them.

In fact, one of Munirah’s aims when they purchased the two-and-a-half-acre land back in 2013 was to create a rustic bolthole to be enjoyed by family and friends. The farm, popularly known as Tiong Trove Family Farm, has all the amenities of a modern day farm, yet it also has a laidback kampung feel with its wide open space and tranquil atmosphere.
