For a vacation this year I took the road less travelled and chose a homestay-cum-meeting at Morib, Banting. A group of us teachers had a "Kursus Perasa" at Morib Impian resort which included a visit to destitute old ladies to offer our two cents worth of "help".....we ended up being on the receiving end instead...as they taught us a thing or two about being resilient, and about persevering and about how to overcome the odds!
Pictures show us arriving at the old abandoned old ladies' dilapidated houses off the fringes of Morib, us helping them and them giving us traditional tea and fruits, kueh besides plying us with tales of how they survived the tough times.
Besides some team-building and relaxing activities at the resort, we trooped to Banting town and did a spot of small-town shopping and grabbed endless packets of local chips and crisps like they were for free. Time did not permit, we zoomed past The Sidek Brothers house, the only indication being the BADMINTON RACKET bearing testimony to their claim to fame.....Try it! Try Morib, Take the Road Less Travelled!
