OUR MUHIBAH STORY | The arduous journey back home for Zairul Annuar and his family after celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri was made memorable this year, thanks to the help of a group of Chinese villagers who helped smooth the way.

On his Facebook page, Zairul said they had initially left Ipoh, Perak using the highway, but the grinding traffic jam on their way to Nilai, Negeri Sembilan prompted Google Maps to suggest several detours that led them through backroads.

The initial detour took them near Ladang Bikam in Perak, but that road too became congested.
