This is Why I Like Kuala Lumpur (it's NOT the food, I promise!) | Inilah Sebabnya Saya Suka KL

As an Australian I love Malaysia for the following reasons: Proximity and accessible, it’s only a 7 or 8 hour flight from Sydney and there are many direct flights, also from KL you can get to almost anywhere in Asia and Europe. Affordable-As mentioned, Malaysia is so budget friendly and I’m not even talking about cheap alcohol and street food but in terms of accommodation, transport, tours, etc Local hospitality-As mentioned English is widely spoken so there’s less of a language barrier and the locals are extremely friendly for the most part. Cultural diversity-within Malaysia you have 3 large ethnic groups being Malay, Chinese and Indian, in many western countries we have diversity but it’s different, in Malaysia the cultures peacefully co exist whilst maintaining their own identity. What is most unique is the food as there’s a lot of natural fusion in the dishes which is unique and delicious

I'm from the US and been in KL for the past 30years on MM2H

I studied and lived in KL for 17 years. Moved and lived in Borneo for 20 years. Now retired in slow pace KT for 10 years🎉🎉❤❤ Masy'Allah Alhamdulillah syukur rezeki kita seluas hamparan langit biru aamiin 🎉🎉

Bill, you’re in the same group of American who like Malaysia. The two famous American in the Youtube channel is entrepreneur, Andrew Henderson of Nomad Capitalist. Born in Ohio and lived in Arizona, gave up US citizenship. The other one is retiree, Andrew Taylor from Florida, who had lived in Penang and now staying in KL. You had already worked and lived in Malaysia, speak a little Bahasa Malaysia and familiar with Malaysian culture. Malaysia isn’t so strange to you. Welcome and kudos to you!

This is why KL is my favourite city that I have been to and I have travelled to many cities like Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Rome, Lisbon, Barcelona, Athens etc. It has everything that suits my needs on so many levels

I miss those days when KL weren’t so popular. It used to be Asia’s best kept secret. But I do also love hearing tourists loving this city. My only hope is that tourists especially from the west to learn to not be rowdy here like how it usually happens in Thailand or Indonesia as we don’t like don’t like that kind of attitude in public.

I was driving Grab car in Penang one day and I met two tourists from Scotland and Armenia. Surprisingly both of them know about Malaysia even they live so far away from us .

Welcome to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 I’m from Limbang Sarawak 5th Division Borneo East Of Peninsula Malaysia live in KL past 28 years. I love KL so much! I grew up in a thick forest jungles in Borneo,no sound of vehicles,We hear only the sound of river flows and chirping birds.Way too far from the city,there is no clinic,hospital,shopping malls etc.We live in a rural area,very small communities. 1996 at the age of 19 we flew from Miri Sarawak Borneo to Kuching then KL with a group of peoples recruited Us to work at one of the privates hospital in Selangor at that particular time.They employed more peoples from Sabah & Sarawak to serve in the privates health care services. At Sunway Putra KL every sunday attended event since March 2023.I love watching sky scrapers the PNB 118 Building,KL Tower and The Twin Tower/KLCC. Late Actor P.Ramlee and Actress Saloma brought such an impact into Malaysian industries film way back in the 1980’s.Similar to the American late Singer Elvis Presley.These are the Legend 🎉.

I am definitely love KL so much!Amazing shopping mall,shoppe never ending stories,great places of food hunt.Malaysia truly ASIA 🇲🇾 Welcome to the club BigShot 🎉 Do enjoy KL and safe travel.Salute

I've been to KL 4 times over the last 7 yrs. I agree the locals speaking some english is great. I'm always visiting Vietnam & Malaysia, my 2 most favorite places. If Vietnamese locals spoke more english, hands down they would get all of my travel dollars. So for now theyre sharing with Malaysia. I've been to KL; Penang & Melaka & loved them all.

If u are in Malaysia and u encounter someone who doesn't speak or understand english (eg staff in shops, eateries etc), the chances are they are immigrants from other countries, not Malaysians. People make this mistake thinking everyone that works in these places are locals when in fact, they are lots of foreigners especially from other Asian countries who work in these businesses. The fact is if u know english, u can easily & comfortably live in Malaysia forever without knowing a single word of the local languages. If u need to go to any government agencies, they all speak english. The cops, doctors, nurses, rescue workers, bank staff, teachers etc all speak english. Also pretty much everything is written in english (signboards, instructions, tickets, local apps etc)

i love how really green the city is unlike nyc london or paris

I love KL for all the reasons you pointed out, it’s first class at 3rd world prices. One of my fav cities. Great video🙏🏻

not many people talk about this, but kuala lumpur is actually a very easy city to cycle in, i have done it twice with my folding bike. it's easier with a folding bike as you can bring it into the lrt, folded of course. usefull tip - use 16" folding bike, it's more compact and easier to handle. by the way i'm from sarawak.

FYI, the malay language can be written in 2 types of alphabet - tulisan rumi (roman script) & tulisan jawi (modified arabic script).

P Ramlee not just a movie producer, actor, comedian but also song writer, sings, play all sorts of instruments..self learned musician. Super talented artist. We miss him. Thank you the the KL reviews. Enjoy your staf here in Msia.

Its safer and better than most cities in the USA

Tq for good reviews of KL and Malaysia in general. Hope more tourists will come to visit our country and love varieties of foods and livestyle in msia.

Thank you for your kind words and hope you have enjoyed your stay in Malaysia.

Cool weather is just 25 minutes drive from KL Many buses available .Go to Genting , affordable luxury. The rain is good as it cool off the temperature and cleanse the dust.

I'm local,and live in small township of Muar by the river. To be honest, every young man and girl in Malaysia keen to learn english and other languages as well for the sake of knowledge. My family can speak english ,russian, javanese and korean. It is all fun you know¡!😊
