The Masjid Lama Kedai Mulong building used to be part of a palace.

Masjid Lama Kedai Mulong: Restoring our heritage

As the Masjid Lama Kedai Mulong in Kelantan shows, every classic building has a story to tell. RIZAL SOLOMON writes.

The Masjid Lama Kedai Mulong is a beautifully-sculpted building rich in history.

Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi: Tale of two cities
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are as different as can be. But each city has its own distinct character and charm, writes ZALINA MOHD SOM THERE is not much in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam that reflects the country´s beauty and culture.

Located 1,760km apart, both cities have their own distinct flavour, sight and personality.

Rustic chalet at Lake Kenyir Resort & Spa

Getting cosy in Kenyir
A trip to Tasik Kenyir doesn´t sound like much to someone who prefers to laze on the beach but LAVIINIA DHANAGUNAN cannot resist the charms of the largest man-made lake in South-East Asia PERSONALLY, I consider myself a sea person. Given a choice, I´d head for the sea on holidays and I tend to move towards Penang or Langkawi over any other local destination, even popular ones. Needless to say, I´m not too thrilled to learn that my next assignment is in Tasik Kenyir -- until I get there.

Swiss-Inn has a resort-like atmosphere

Swiss Inn Sungai Petani: Resort feel in town centre
The exterior offers no clues but step into the Swiss-Inn Sungai Petani and you´d be amazed at the resort-like ambience, writes ALAN TEH LEAM SENG THE facade looks like that of any other three-star hotel but it´s the interior of the Swiss-Inn Sungai Petani that impresses visitors. Together with its Olympic-sized pool, the design layout evokes a resort-like atmosphere that´s not quite what one would expect in this bustling town in Kedah.

Finally, standing on the Skybridge, after the long wait

Long queue to the Skybridge
On learning that there´s always a long queue for tickets to visit the Skybridge at the Petronas Twin Towers, ZALINA MOHD SOM arrives at KLCC at 5.40am to find she´s not the first in the queue JUST ask the Public Relations department to issue you the tickets, my friend suggests. As a journalist, I suppose I could arrange with the Petronas Public Relations department for a hassle-free visit to the Skybridge at the Petronas Twin Towers but my real objective is not just being there but rather, I want the whole experience, including queueing up to buy tickets, like any other visitor.
