Malaysians flock to KL over double holiday weekend

A busy petaling streets during school holidays —ONG SOON HIN /The Star KUALA LUMPUR: Throughout the Hari Raya Aidiladha weekend and school holidays, Malaysians took advantage of the long weekend by crowding parts of the capital and becoming 'tourists in their own country'. The holiday weekend also provided a welcome respite, with major roads heading towards the city centre being relatively clear. This saw many taking the opportunity to explore popular landmarks around the capital's golden triangle here. Despite the sweltering heat, both Malaysians and tourists alike filled the streets across areas like Chinatown, taking their time to view the sights and sounds of the capital. Hari Raya Aidiladha celebrations fell on Saturday. The school holidays, which began on May 29, are set to end today. The next school holiday period will begin in September, with the year-end holidays to begin in December before the school term reconvenes in January the following year.
