Recently, just before I “retired” from my position as an advisor for a recreational club at a university, I took the committee members on a trip to my hometown in Jerantut, Pahang.

Everyone was excited about the trip, especially since very little is known of Jerantut, although many are familiar with Taman Negara or the National Park. I considered it my duty to share all that I know of my hometown with visitors, as I do believe that anyone can serve as an ambassador for their own locale, offering unique insights and experiences.
