Dad and boy cycle 1,000km to enjoy cheap travel

KANGAR: An ex-serviceman and his 10-year-old son reached Padang Besar here after cycling for 1,000km for almost a week from Johor – all to see interesting places in the country via a cheap mode of travel.

Borhanaldin Ahmad (pic), 53, and Mohd Mufiden who had left Kampung Sungai Tiram, Johor, on May 30, on a tandem bicycle, were received by Perlis Tourism Committee chairman Ahmad Bakri Ali on Saturday.

The father, who had served with the 17th Battalion of the Royal Malaysian Army, said they cycled for about 12 hours during the day and spent nights at mosques or suraus.

He said they passed through Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Perak and Kedah before reaching Perlis. — Bernama
