We drive out and bring both Issac and Annabelle for a break from staying in the house for such a long time. We decided to go to Sekinchan during this Hari Raya Puasa holiday.

On our way to Sekinchan, we had decided to visit Bukit Malawati at Kuala Selangor. Bukit Malawati is one of the tourist attraction in Kuala Selangor besides the fireflies.

This hill is also known as Monkey Hill due the population of Silver Leaf and Long Tail Macaques monkey species here. We spent around 1 – 2 hours here before driving towards to Sekinchan.

The cannons at Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor. In the late 18th and early 19th century, Bukit Malawati is a stronghold of the Selangor Sultanate. In order to fight against the Dutch, Sultan Ibrahim built this heavily fortified fort.

The famous white light house on Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor which is more than 100 years old. It is still being used to guide the ships on the Straits of Malacca. Unfortunately, the light house is not open for tourists. The view should be very nice from up there.

After Bukit Melawati, we headed to Sekinchan. We have been to Sekinchan for few times, thus we did not take much photos.

Due to the MCO too, the beach is still not fully opened, and we saw the police patrol car passed by the area. Anyhow, it is a great day out for us after few months of quarantine at home!
