The following are selected pictures, circa 1983-1984, when my mother (Mek) was with her dad (Cek), sister (MakSu Yah) and brother-in-law (Ayah Su) were travelling to Mecca for the haj. Hopefully, these pictures capture the time some 30 years ago and the cultural mileau with regards to close family bonding and the values they attached to such trip by sending the pilgrims to the airport. They were departing from Kota Bharu airport at Pengkalan Chepa to Mecca via Kuala Lumpur.
I recall picking them up at Subang International airport upon their return and brought them to my rented house in Ampang Jaya to rest before sending them back to the airport for their final flight to Kota Bharu.
