London and California too hot even for sun-loving Malaysians

PETALING JAYA: For someone who grew up in a tropical country, Melaka-born Nur Faarihah Khairuddin says the heat in London is “unbearable”.The 23-year-old, who just graduated from the University of Warwick, said she now sought shelter daily in air-conditioned buildings.She wrote recently on social media that her house in London was built to keep the heat in so for that reason, staying home was not an option in the current heatwave plaguing the country.

“I’m an outdoors person. I can sit at local parks to soak in some sunlight, but now I must stay indoors as the heat is unbearable, even for someone from a tropical country.
