🏡 Step Into History — Tun Mahathir's Birthplace 🇲🇾✨

#summervacay Tucked away in a quiet corner of Alor Setar, Kedah, lies a humble wooden house that gave Malaysia one of its most iconic leaders — Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. This modest traditional Malay kampung house, now preserved as a museum, tells the story of resilience, simplicity, and greatness born from humble beginnings. Walk through the rooms filled with childhood memorabilia, black-and-white photos, and handwritten notes — it’s more than just a house, it’s a living time capsule 🕰️🌿 🪑 Wooden floors creak beneath your feet 📚 Old books whisper of early dreams 🇲🇾 And every corner reminds you: greatness begins at home Visiting this place offers a deeper connection to Malaysia's modern history, and a quiet appreciation of where it all began. #mahathirmohamad #rumahkelahiran #alorsetar #kedahheritage #malaysiahistory #historicalplaces #visitkedah #tunmstory
