Decades ago, thousands of Malaysians were born & grew up in Saudi Arabia.

I am one of them. After studying and working in Malaysia, I am back to work in Saudi Arabia. Feel lucky having born here and lived in Malaysia for some ten years, but many have not had this chance and experience living in Malaysia.

Again, here to witness a new experience that is working here and of course to exchanging experience and bridging gaps between Melayu Saudi & Malaysian there.
