Fabian Teja, Country Director Malaysia and Brunei at Agoda, said: 'For those looking to relax after the festivities of Hari Raya, a weekend escape can be the ideal way to refresh. At Agoda, we believe that rest isn't just a luxury –it's a necessity for well-being.

With several long weekends ahead, it's the perfect time to kick off a holiday after the holidays. Here are some of the best destinations to reset and find balance:
Perak – Hot Springs & Healing Waters
After weeks of gatherings, nothing soothes the body and mind like a rejuvenating soak in nature's own spa. When the social calendar starts to feel like a full-time job, it's time to unplug and unwind somewhere a little more… steamy.
Perak, home to some of Malaysia's renowned natural hot springs, offers the perfect setting for a wellness retreat. Nestled among lush greenery and limestone hills, these geothermal springs provide a therapeutic escape, known for their mineral-rich waters that ease muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Pulau Tenggol – Beachside Bliss
Malaysia boasts an abundance of sandy beaches, making it the perfect escape from bustling family gatherings.
Trade the noise for the soothing scent of saltwater and feel the ocean breeze on Pulau Tenggol, a lesser-known island compared to Perhentian or Redang, offering the peace and quiet that's much needed after the festivities.
Cameron Highlands – Highland Haven
For those who find solace in nature, take a slow drive up to Cameron Highlands and soak in its therapeutic scenic views of rolling tea plantations and misty hills.
After the lively buzz of family reunions, swap laughter-filled rooms for the calming sounds of rustling leaves and crisp mountain air to fully immerse in nature's tranquility.
Kuala Lumpur – Urban Oasis
If travel's off the table, a weekend in KL can be just as relaxing. The city's got hotels with lush greenery, yoga-friendly spaces, and artsy rooms made for quiet escapes. From spa sessions to lazy brunches – or just staying in with room service and a good book – sometimes the best reset happens right in the Klang Valley.

Malaysians without permits advised not to attempt haj
MAKKAH: With just days to go before wukuf, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, has advised Malaysians without authorisation from Saudi authorities not to risk performing the pilgrimage illegally. Apart from the risk of facing stern legal action, he said there were also serious concerns over pilgrims' health if they attempt the haj through unauthorised means. He said this was among the matters raised during a meeting between religious affairs ministers and Saudi Arabia's Minister of Haj and Umrah, Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, earlier today. "I urge Malaysian pilgrims without permits not to remain in the Holy Land to perform the haj illegally. The Saudi government has clearly stated it will strictly enforce regulations this year to ensure the safety of pilgrims worldwide. "That's why we're seeing less congestion this year compared to previous years. We hope with these efforts, there will be no casualties, or at least a significant reduction compared to last year," he said. He was speaking after attending the Grand Hajj Symposium here today. Na'im also shared the latest update revealed during the symposium: pilgrims will no longer be allowed to walk on foot from Makkah to Arafah. Instead, they must travel via transportation provided by the authorities. He said the Saudi government would be enhancing the transport system, taking into account the extreme heat. "Some pilgrims may feel they're physically capable of walking long distances, but that will not be allowed this year. "Last year, many suffered heatstroke from walking long distances under the scorching sun, and some even died on the spot. "This year, Saudi Arabia is placing great emphasis on pilgrim safety," he added. Touching on his meeting with Dr Tawfiq, Na'im said it was also confirmed that pilgrims will not be allowed to leave their designated areas between 10am and 4pm during the peak period in Arafah. In addition, visits to popular sites among Malaysian pilgrims, namely Masjid Namirah and Jabal Rahmah, will be restricted during those hours.

Cheaper, faster weddings: Malaysians say 'I do' in Songkhla
KOTA BARU: More Malaysian couples, including those entering polygamous marriages, are choosing to wed in Songkhla, Thailand, citing faster processing and convenience. Narathiwat Islamic Religious Council deputy president Abdul Aziz Che Mamat said fewer Malaysians are now choosing to marry in the southern Thai provinces of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani, as the Islamic authorities there only issue marriage certificates without processing the full set of documents required for registration in Malaysia. "Malaysians are now choosing to marry at mosques in Songkhla due to the convenience and cost-saving benefits," he said. "When they get married in Songkhla, they can immediately go to the Malaysian Consulate General's office — also located in the province — to process their marriage documents. The process is quick and can usually be completed within the same day. "Although Songkhla is farther away, it saves time and money as everything can be settled in a single trip." By contrast, Abdul Aziz said couples who marry in Narathiwat, Yala or Pattani only receive a certificate from the local Islamic council and must still travel to Songkhla for document processing at the Malaysian Consulate General's office before the marriage can be registered in Malaysia. "This additional step has led to a sharp decline in Malaysian couples registering their marriages through the Islamic councils in these three provinces," he added. With the upcoming school holidays and Hari Raya Aidiladha celebrations, Abdul Aziz expects a surge in Malaysian couples heading to Thailand to get married. "However, our offices in Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani are no longer the preferred choice. Most couples go straight to Songkhla and take the opportunity to spend the holidays with their families there," he said. Despite the decline, he assured that the religious councils in Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani would continue to operate as usual. It is understood that Malaysian couples marrying in Thailand must obtain verification from the Malaysian Consulate General's office in Songkhla before their union can be officially registered with religious authorities in Malaysia. The consulate reportedly handles between 250 and 300 marriage cases involving Malaysian couples each month, with most weddings held at mosques in and around Songkhla.

M'sians flock to China's panda tours
PETALING JAYA: It's a testament to her 'soft power' that some Malaysians are willing to spend at least RM5,000 just to celebrate her fourth birthday. Sheng Yi, the third panda that was born in Malaysia on May 31, 2021, and is now based in Sichuan province, would have Malaysian visitors such as part-time tutor Chin Lee Peng. 'I have brought a special banner to celebrate her birthday,' she said. Chin, 56, said she spent RM1,170 on the flight ticket. The overall expenses for the 12-day trip, which include tickets for high-speed trains and entrance fees, would cost her about RM5,000. Her earlier plan was to visit China on her own to celebrate the birthday of Yi Yi, whose birth on Jan 14, 2018 marked the second panda born in Malaysia. 'Originally, I was planning to go alone to visit Yi Yi and celebrate Sheng Yi's birthday, but another friend wanted to join me,' she said. Yi Yi and Sheng Yi are the offspring of Fu Wa and Feng Yi who were loaned by China to Malaysia in 2014 to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Their older sister Nuan Nuan, born in 2015, went back to China in 2017. Recalling her first time seeing pandas in Malaysia, Chin said, 'I'd never seen pandas then. Now, every time I see them, I feel happy and relaxed. Pandas really do have a special charm.' Chin said that pandas had helped her open up and connect with others. 'I'm quite an introvert. I wouldn't leave the house unless I had to. But pandas made me want to share my experiences and meet people from around the world. They truly are goodwill ambassadors, bridging cultures,' she added. Chin also said she had made many friends in China. 'When people in China hear how well Malaysia cared for the pandas, they're always so grateful,' she added. Travel agent Saw Beng Teik said that visiting a panda base has become an essential part of tours for Malaysians visiting Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. 'This has been a popular request from Malaysians for many years. They love pandas. They are always keen to visit China to see more of them. There are so many famous panda 'stars' there,' he said. Fellow travel industry professional Lily Chin said that since Malaysia welcomed the first pair of pandas, the demand for panda tours has grown steadily, especially from the 'superfans'. 'Many Malaysian tourists now request that their itineraries include panda bases in China. We're planning to include more panda-viewing spots in our tours,' she added. One Malaysian who is eagerly awaiting for such a visit in March next year is retiree Goh Leang Leang, 54. 'I will go with a few of my friends. We're joining a nine-day tour to China just to see the pandas.' She said the tour, which includes meals, transport, a driver and a guide, would cost about 6,500 yuan (RM3,835). The tour, she added, would focus only on visiting panda bases and parks in Chengdu and other parts of Sichuan province. Goh said that pandas have been a source of comfort and healing during her battle with cancer. 'I had stage three breast cancer and was going through treatment three years ago. At that time, I had nothing else to look forward to,' she said. Goh revealed that she once thought of giving up medical treatment, especially after her second round of chemotherapy. 'Because my immune system was so weak, I couldn't be near anyone, so I just stayed in my room. 'It was so hard, but the doctor persuaded me to keep going,' she said. One day, she chanced upon videos of pandas in other countries while browsing the Internet. 'Their adorable and clumsy ways just drew me in. 'Those videos eased my pain and lifted my spirits. I didn't cry anymore,' she said. 'I started paying more attention to Malaysia's own pandas, too.' As she regained her health, Goh began visiting pandas in different places. Besides Zoo Negara, she has gone to see pandas in China and Taiwan. On May 18, the departure of Fu Wa and Feng Yi to China marked the last of the five pandas being sent home. However, a new deal was signed in April during the state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Malaysia. Under the agreement, Malaysia will receive a new pair of giant pandas for a 10-year period from 2025 to 2035.
