I`ve only been to Kuala Lumpur a couple of times and I try to see a different part of the city each time.
Each time I`ve visited Malaysia it has been a stopover on the way to somewhere else.
My most recent trip was in 2003. At that time I stopped over from Japan so that I could watch the cricket World Cup semi-final between Australia and Sri Lanka (on TV). The staff at the Malaysian Cricket Board were very helpful!
Apart from the cricket, I didn't really enjoy it. I encountered hawkers and touts at night and scammers during the day. I had a near miss with some scam artists and spent most of my last day/night in police stations. You can read about that in my tips. Anyway, I should note that the scammers were not Malaysian, but from somewhere else (giving Malaysia a bad name!).
I will travel to KL in the future to give the city another chance though!

Many people in cyberspace have wandered across my little page here and it seems a few of them have been seriously fleeced. I don't know if these folks were ever caught or not. If anyone ever reads this and knows, let me know so I can pass it on :-)
- Pros:Cheap DVDs and cricket on TV
- Cons:Tricksters and scammers!

As of June 2007 this scam is still going on. Someone tried it on me and then two days later I met another man that had the same experience the day after I did. Unfortunately, people will take advantage of you trying to be nice to people in KL.
Hahahahah I love that Warning Tip. If you would have been greedy you would have walked out of the casino wearing Nothing!! hahhaha Those scammers can be pretty tricky!!
oh dear....now I have to agree with you.The shopping's got to be the highlight here.Oh I am wicked!:)
Hi there Craig, sorry it happened to you and am glad you didn't fall for it. Well, they come in all shapes and sizes and age. I have a warning in my Homepage on this as well. Be careful when approached! Can be anywhere anytime.
