Taking my 80-year-old Ma on a memorable holiday in Langkawi

On one of my many visits to Butterworth, Penang I asked my Ma, who is 80 years old, if she had any place she wanted to visit in Malaysia. She never really had the chance to go for a local holiday – she was always to busy raising her three children.

Once I returned to Kuala Lumpur, I made a few flight reservations and booked a chalet in Langkawi, Kedah for a holiday together in July 2019.
