It is understood that the trio originates from Kedah but they began their journey from Merlimau, Melaka and had been cycling for the past 12 days. 

As of now, they are in Sungai Petani, Kedah, and will continue their journey to Alor Setar.

Netizens left divided

While the trio’s effort is commendable by the public, other TikTok users have voiced concern about the group's safety and overall health due to their age.

One said, “May your journey to Makkah be eased. I'm quite worried about their health. Hope all is well.”

“I get their intention, but many factors need to be considered, especially regarding health,” another commented.
