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

Nice meeting with Dr. Mahathir and his wife

While exploring the resort area after a swim, we spotted a familiar-looking man enjoying a cold drink with his family at the restaurant.

To our surprise, it was none other than Dr. Mahathir !

What are the odds of meeting such a well-known figure on a remote island?

I recognized him immediately and went over to greet him.

He was warm and approachable, and we had a brief but pleasant chat.

I asked if we could take a family photo with him, and he kindly agreed.

We gathered around, smiling for a truly memorable picture.

We thanked him and wished him well as we said our goodbyes.
