Date of outing is one factor, the other factor you have to consider is that since we are going into Malaysia, the question of safety must come foremost. If we are driving in, make sure we have enough cars to "protect" one another, but if we are going in by coach, then we have to be careful with out equipments.
Malaysia today is not like it was previously, even Malaysian themselves are fearful.
I am interested to tag along, but I need to know the dates and cost.
