Decided to visit Puala Rawa, an island with clear water beach.

Nice meeting with Dr. Mahathir and his wife

As we are exploring the hotel resort area after a swim, we saw a familiar man sipping a cold drink with his family at the restaurant.

Wow, the change of meeting the famous man on a remote island is one in a million chances.

I recognized Dr Mahathir instantly, and started to greet him.

As we had a short chit chat, I asked if we could have a family photo taken with him.

Dr Mahathir said “Yes” and we happily gather around him to have a memorable photo taken.

We thank him and wave him best wishes!
