Such has been a journey for many of us in Malaysia and we are glad to be part of this journey in living the virtues of true determination of Ramadan, as well as bringing families closer across distance, more so during festivities like Kaamatan and Gawai, despite how far and away they are," Spencer Lee, head of commercial of AirAsia Malaysia, said."Throughout the festive period, we wanted to highlight the struggles and breakthroughs that leads to celebration.
