Bamboo trees at the Edible Park in Iskandar Puteri. FOR a brief period, we enjoyed travelling to local destinations during the easing of the movement control order in July, August and last month. What a treat it was, as we took weekend getaways to Melaka, Desaru, the nearby hill resorts like Genting Highlands for those living in the Klang Valley, and off-the-track gems like Pulau Pemanggil, off Mersing. Now, unfortunately, we are restricted once again in our travels until the pandemic eases. However, a recent article on Medini in Johor reminded me of what unique locations await us in the southern region.
