The delay not only extended his stay but also led to a hefty surprise back home. Upon returning to Malaysia, Amirul was greeted by a parking fee of RM240 at the airport barrier gate. 

Normally, his one‑day trips cost around RM110, but the prolonged disruption doubled the expense. “Paying RM240 for parking felt quite expensive,” he admitted, though he acknowledged the situation was beyond his control.

Amirul shared his experience online, offering advice to fellow travelers. He urged people to check airport parking rates in advance, prepare financially for unexpected delays, and always secure travel insurance or takaful coverage. 

His story resonated with netizens, highlighting how natural disasters can ripple into everyday inconveniences.
