The phase “Balik Kampung” is a beautiful phase because it describe a sense of belonging of being deeply rooted in a physical place and an understanding that family is at the heart of all.  Malaysia has wonderful family oriented culture that is being demonstrated each and every day:

·        Sharing family meals in restaurants.

·        The usage of language.  It reflect the feeling that everyone is closely connected and part of a wider community.

As they became more globalised and people travel more often and further than ever before, perhaps one does not need to visit family members in their hometowns to get a sense of “Balik Kampung”
