Langkawi will get bigger and RM40 billion GDV too
My personal thoughts about Langkawi “But there’s nothing there!” this was a comment from a good friend when he learnt that I go Langkawi once a year (when there were no COVID-19). Actually, the reason I go to Langkawi is because I can just relax, drive that rented car to all the small little corners…

Fake news, again. That super huge hotel booking news.
Yesterday, many people were forwarding the news about the over 1,000 units of bookings for Langkawi hotels. Fortunately, I did not forward / share because I was a little skeptical that people could suddenly make their holiday decisions in an hour? Haha. Anyway, I was right with my hunch. Today, many news outlets have reported…

Another international airport in northern to be ready by 2024.
We should treat this piece of news as something positive for the northern region instead of thinking of one ‘killing’ the other. Whether the arrivals (passengers or cargoes) were via Kulim or even Bayan Lepas, what’s not to rejoice if the investments could spur both states instead of just one? Of course, this would also…

KIA (KXP) and PIA MUST be complementary please.
I have stressed many times that Penang needs a much bigger international airport for its future because the best way into Penang from overseas is through the air. (PIA) Earlier article way back in 2016 here: Penang International Airport, what’s next? Well, I did not have that many supporters even among Penangites. Perhaps now there is really a need…

Langkawi – Airasia hub, Best Airport award, FASTER duty-free
I never knew there’s a best airport category for under two million passengers in Asia Pacific. The most amazing thing is, Langkawi International Airport (LIA) has won it twice. The actual award is Airport Council International Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Award 2014. That is indeed a good news and I do think Langkawi’s airport is clean…

Ipoh flights to Subang, Johor Bahru, Medan and potentially Langkawi and Krabi
I do not like it when people call Ipoh a sleepy hollow. You can have non-stop activities like walking, climbing, drinking, exploring, EATING and there is just no time for you to sleep. Sleepy? Hollow? Just because there are no flights, thus Ipoh is not well known enough and you call Ipoh a hollow place?…

Yellow carded by UNESCO, my dear Langkawi.
UNESCO has given its final warning signal. Langkawi may lose its GEOPARK status. ‘Naturally Langkawi’ may just be ‘formerly Geopark Langkawi’. Can the authorities be serious? Why are we taking things for granted to the extent that we have gotten a yellow card? There is just one more year to go. Getting it is an…

Langkawi – RM4 Billion GDV Development – Luxury Travellers

Langkawi Tourism. Personally, I like Langkawi because when I am there, everything slows down tremendously. It is…
