Living in a world ravaged by a pandemic, we must now be extra cautious when travelling.

That means that if we can, we should try to avoid using public transports as much as we can - or, in some cases, try to be as safe as you can while using them.

One local actor, meanwhile, took the whole safety thing up a notch.

Why drive when you can fly?

Local action movie star Hairul Azreen Idris recently became the talk of the town when he brought his family for a much-needed holiday at Pulau Redang.

Plenty of celebrities have been travelling ever since the interstate travel ban was lifted, so what's the big deal, you ask?

Well, it's not where he brought his family to for a holiday that got netizens talking; it's how he got there.

The 33-year-old actor shared that he specifically chartered a helicopter to fly him and his family -- wife Hanis Zalikha, and their two children: Yusuf Iskandar, 5, and Alisa Aisyah, 2 -- to Pulau Redang

The celebirty couple took to their Instagram accounts to flex their mode of transportation.

"Holiday with my family after a long time. From KL to island," Hairul wrote.

The luxurious ride to their holiday destination caught the attention of netizens, with some commenting that's what you can do if you're rich and famous.

However, there were those who applauded the couple for making their kids’ safety a priority.
