The dedication of a Malaysian mother, who flies between Penang and Kuala Lumpur five times a week to be with her children, has drawn admiration online

In a video published by CNA on Tuesday, 4 February, Racheal Kaur said she wakes up at around 4am on workdays and leaves home to catch her flight, which typically boards at 5.55am.

"The flight usually takes about half an hour to 40 minutes, and I'm in the office no later than 7.45am," said Racheal, an assistant manager in AirAsia's finance operations department.

Once she arrives at KLIA Terminal 2, it is only a seven-minute walk to her office.

Previously, she rented a place in Kuala Lumpur and only returned home once a week. However, with two children, aged 11 and 12, at home, Racheal decided to commute daily to spend more time with them.

"I feel that the need for the mother to be around more often. And with this arrangement, I am able to go home every day... I am able to see them at night... help out with any last-minute homework. You know kids. There's [always] something around last minute," she said.

Thanks to her AirAsia staff discount, Racheal spends RM50 a day on her return flight, totalling RM1,100 a month

In fact, flying daily is cheaper than when she lived in Kuala Lumpur, where rent alone would cost her RM1,400 to RM1,500 a month.

Her food expenses have also halved from RM600 to RM300 a month. In total, Racheal saves about RM700 monthly by commuting 600km daily.

Racheal arrives in Penang around 7.30pm, only facing uncertainties during peak seasons

"During peak periods or festive seasons, when we are actually on standby because, of course, commercial guests get priority, which is totally understandable.

"So those are the times that get a little challenging. You know you get a little anxious as to whether you'll be on that flight. But at the end of the day, I do go home so it's not a problem," said the mother.

Racheal acknowledges that the commute is tiring, but seeing her children at home every day makes the journey worth it.

Dia bayar tiket ulang alik, RM 50 sehari. Seminggu dah RM 250. Sebulan, 1k. Memang lagik murah daripada sewa rumah di KL plus kat hometown family boleh tolong jaga anak bila dia pi keja.

lifeline

bab lain tu rasa mcm ok je sbb RM50 sehari je dia spend
dah tu touch down terus smpi tmpt kerja
bukan kena amik bas pulak nk ke kl
cumanya
klo x delay mmg tak rugi la masa
tp kan AA selalu delay
ke sepanjang dia ulang alik tu nasib baik xde delay2

aku naik pagi2 kl-aor selalu mesti msa lari skit
