Going back to hometown? Don’t forget this checklist!
Inform your neighbour
Please inform your neighbour that you will be away for several days to go back to your hometown. Kindly ask them to watch over your house and inform you in the event of any suspicious movement.
Bring power bank
Please make sure to bring along a power bank if you are using a mode of public transport like train or bus. Your smartphone’s battery may drain before you reach the destination.
This is to ensure that your mobile phone is always on. You may call your family members in case something happens on your way.
Bring snacks
It may take a while to reach your destination especially if you use public transport.
We do not wish for any problems to arise but technical problems like delay and breakdown can happen. It is better to prepare snacks like bread, and canned drinks for buka puasa.
Switch off electric
Please ensure to switch off all electrical sources if you leave your house vacant. We do not want any fire-related incident to occur.
Lock the house
Don’t forget to lock your house, including all doors and windows. Keep them secured to avoid possible theft during your absence.
Have a safe travel
We wish you, by all modes of public transport, to have a safe journey going back to your hometown.
Have a divine Aidilfitri with your loved ones!
