Hiking Gunung Pulai, Kedah while in full Baju Raya outfits
Going viral on TikTok, a video shared by @north_ace_adventure caught the attention of netizens after it showcased a group of Malaysians hiking the difficult terrains of Gunung Pulai in Baling, Kedah while in full Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung.
As of the time of writing, the video has garnered over 279,000 views and 7,377 likes, with many Malaysians on the edge of their seats watching the group navigate through the rocky and dangerous terrains of the mountain.
@north_ace_adventure, which organises trips outdoors, including becoming guides for hiking mountains in the northern parts of Peninsular Malaysia, shared in the overlaid text of the video,
“I’m just bringing them to the top. I don’t know where these guys put their hearts 🥲”
In the video, a group of Malaysians can be seen carefully navigating their way through the rocky terrains at high altitude, with the men wearing full sets of Baju Melayu, including the samping, while the women in full Baju Kurung.
In the middle section of the video, a woman in a purple Baju Kurung can be seen struggling to navigate through a rock and was stuck there for a while. Well, better be safe than sorry!
At the end of the video, the Malaysians in their full Baju Raya outfits took a photo with the rest of the hiking group and thankfully, everyone was safe.

Malaysians urged for caution when doing stunts such as this
In the comments section, many Malaysians urged people to practice caution when doing such stunts as hiking mountains, especially with difficult terrains like Gunung Pulai need proper equipment and clothing.
One commenter said that previously, there was a case of someone falling from the top of Gunung Pulai.
@north_ace_adventure replied to this by saying that people and other things have fallen from mountains since the start of time, hence we just have to be careful to not face the same fate.
Meanwhile, another commenter jokingly asked why they need to take a photo near the sky when they can just safely take a photo on the ground.
Besides that, one Malaysian said that every time he sees a video such as this, he thinks of the Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) because if anything bad happens, Bomba will be the ones to risk their lives to save the hikers.
