Nobody who went to KLIA during the last December holidays is going to buy the idea that Malaysians are travelling less overseas or that the economy is ailing . Apart from the umrah crowd , everywhere you turned , was yet another Malaysian family dressed in winter wear just waiting to fly off for their winter holiday .
And their winter wear is not those chekai ones that make you look like a blast from Bratislava circa 1980 . These travellers were all stylo milo enough to tell me that they probably have more airmiles accumulated than I ever dare to dream of myself .
And once we arrived home , if you actually parked yourself outside popular dry cleaners , every customer that walked in carried at least 5 winter jackets with them .
I hardly ever travel during winter so this was really , truly an eye opener for me .
