In the Facebook post, Lee shared that the trip exposed his father, Lee Kim Sang, to many first times.

This is my first time bringing my father to Kuala Lumpur to travel.

To be honest, this is also my father’s first time to ride a cable car; to enjoy the scenery of the city; and to even be my first ever model!”

From Genting Highlands to Batu Caves, Uncle Lee and his son explored the many tourist attractions the country has to offer.

A lot has changed

My father was excited as he hasn’t been to Genting for many years. We even shopped at the mall for 2 hours! He commented that Genting has changed a lot since he last visit.”

Uncle Lee was also surprised to see the rainbow painted stairs of Batu Caves. While he did get an Instagramable picture of it, the duo did not climb to the top due to Uncle Lee’s old age.
