I noticed, particularly around the Bukit Bintang area, an assorted cast of dodgy-looking characters. In some of the ATM lobbies of the banks there are armed guards in attendance. This gives me the feeling that it is advisable to exercise a degree of caution around busy areas in KL. The good news is that there is a visible Tourist Police presence on the streets which is quite reassuring.

Certain areas of KL, especially around Bukit Bintang, are quite filthy. This is not just my opinion. The Mayor of KL, Datuk Mohmad Shaid Mohd Taufek, has just conveyed his disgust at the state of hawkers' hygiene in the city. I was quite appalled actually and it looks worse in the cold light of day. Along Jalan Alor, where there are food stalls all along the street, the conditions are filthy. I saw food dumped on the pavement and left there for days. A sure breeding ground for flies, rats and disease. Be careful about what you eat and don't drink tap water.

It's true everyone want to see the Petronas Twin Tower. On my flight back from Netherland this Swedish lady sitting next to me who is on a stopover flight was so excited to see it too. :-) Great page. | petertheobald Sat Sep 17, 2005 14:01 UTC
useful review on Master Tan and Wong! name changed, address is same, service is just as good as described... must visit rather than the other "foot rubbing" places | Cemerlang Sat Mar 27, 2004 14:16 UTC
Hmm ... I have these friends from Liverpool and London keep on coming back every year for shopping. Most of them are in their 20s. I guess you must have missed something on your trip. Anyway, a great review!! | mrclay2000 Tue Nov 11, 2003 04:46 UTC
Mosques and minarets are usually enough to divert me, but this National Mosque is well, a little below the standard I knew in Turkey. |
