As we all know, Malaysia is currently experiencing a heat wave that will last until the end of March. For most of us who have lived in this country throughout our lives, the heat these days can be unbearable. Now, imagine yourself working in the intense heat. Sanggup ke?

Sometimes we need to be reminded that we should be thankful and also appreciate what we might have overlooked.

In case you are wondering how hot it will be these next couple of months, here’s more information on it below.
