Kedah / Penang Holiday : Dec 2008

Dec 03, 2008/Wednesday
7.30am@ started our journey to Alor Setar, Kedah today, with my best friend and her family.

Two families = 2 cars = 10 paxes

2 pees stopped at NS H/way, a lunch break at Bukit Mertajam and we were Alor Setar, Kedah at about 2.00pm.

Our first stop was at Tun Mahathir’s family house located in Kota Setar.


The surrounding areas has been acquired and beautified to make this a tourist attraction. Beside the house, there are a few structures showing some of Tun's belongings and souvenirs


Entrance is free

Visiting Hours :
Tuesdays – Sundays : 10am-5pm
Fridays : 10am-12noon/3pm-5pm
Closed on Mondays, except during public & school holidays




(No photography allowed inside the house)
I do not have the slightest clue how these photos ended up in my possession ;p
