A GROUP of 15 Malaysians had an eye-opening experience as they played tourist in their own city of Kuala Lumpur, led by a member of a migrant community.

While the places themselves were not unfamiliar to the group, it was her personal connection to these places and snippets of her own life story that added depth to the experience. Similarly, participants Melanie Yong, 34, and Yu Sing Tan, 35, said the concept sounded intriguing so they decided to try it out.
He said the group reached out to migrant organisations to seek out their assistance in connecting with those interested in participating in the pilot project. “Through these conversations, we uncovered hidden gems that wouldn’t typically surface through online searches,” Bathman said.
