Our next campaign was to visit the northern states of Malaysia, consisting of 3 states bordering Thailand - Kedah, rich for its paddy fields; Penang, a cosmopolitan island which was once part of Kedah Sultanate and Perlis, the highest end of Malaysia. Bukit Kayu Hitam would be the last exit for the North South Highway (PLUS), the most frequently used road in the Peninsular. Penang is also famous for having one of the longest bridges in Asia. The states, excluding Penang were part of the Unfederated Malay States prior to the independence. Penang on the other hand was part of the Straits Settlements.
The journey was all about visiting my relatives and friends, while venturing to places that we had never been before.
