IF you thought Langkawi was just about sun, sand and surf, you’re dead wrong. As our latest batch of BRATs teen journalists found out, there’s just so much more to the island paradise!

Armed with their notebooks, smartphones, cameras and brandnew journalistic skills (courtesy of the R.AGE team), the 37 participants of the BRATs Langkawi 2014 young journalist camp set out to find some of the best stories Langkawi has to offer. And find them they did.

During the course of the four-day camp, they were given the unforgettable experience of going behind the scenes at Underwater World Langkawi, where they hung out with a whole bunch of penguins, got up close and personal with a couple of seals (one of ‘em even got smooched by a seal!), and cosied up to adorable little common marmosets (a small species of monkey).
