Malaysian woman takes leap of faith by travelling during Ramadan


Yafieda had fresh seafood – squid with Kampot black pepper – to break fast during her travel during Ramadan in Cambodia. — YAFIEDA MD JAMIL

A change of career brought Yafieda Md Jamil to Cambodia eight years ago. In 2014, she left home in Malaysia to work at an advertising agency in Phnom Penh.

While she was in Cambodia, she also took another leap of faith – a religious one – by travelling during the holy month of Ramadan. Yafieda had travelled to Kep, an off-the-beaten-path destination located about three hours away from the capital.
