Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur , or simply KL, is the capital of Malaysia. Literally
meaning “muddy estuary” in Malay, KL has grown from a
small sleepy village to a bustling metropolis (metro population
6.9 million) in just 150 years. With the world’s cheapest five-
star hotels, great shopping and even better food, increasing
numbers of travellers
are discovering this
little gem of a city.

suburbs seem to go
on forever. The city

and moves into high gear when the festivals of Hari Raya
Puasa (Eid ul-Fitr) and Deepavali approach. Located just be-

Understand
Founded only in 1857 as a tin mining outpost, Kuala Lumpur is
fairly new as far as Malaysian cities go and lacks the rich history
of George Town or Malacca. After rough early years marked
by gang fighting, Kuala Lumpur started to prosper and was
made capital of the Federated Malay States in 1896. Malaysia’s
independence was declared in 1957 in front of huge crowds
at what was later named Stadium Merdeka (Independence
Stadium), and Kuala Lumpur continued as the new nation’s
capital. The economic boom of the 1990s brought KL the
standard trappings of a modern city, bristling with skyscrapers
and modern transportation systems. Like most of Malaysia’s big

Subang Airport
The Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport , more commonly referred
to as the Subang Airport, was the country’s main international
airport until KLIA was opened in 1998. It was designated for
turboprop aircraft and since 19 October 2007, Malaysia Airlines

Expressway, links Kuala Lumpur with the East Coast states of
Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.
Those travelling along the West Coast Road (Federal Route Five)
should leave the road at Klang and get to Kuala Lumpur via the
Federal Highway.
By bus
Kuala Lumpur has several bus terminals (Malay: stesen bas or
hentian) which handle long distance express bus services; many
destinations are served by more than one terminal.
Puduraya
The biggest (and invariably most crowded) terminal, located in
the city centre near Chinatown. Beware of pickpockets, ticket
touts and other undesirables, especially late at night.
To/from Singapore:
Hentian Putra
Most (but not all) East Coast services use this terminal which is
located to the north of the city centre on Jalan Putra.
Access: PWTC station (Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines) and Putra
station (both KTM Komuter lines) are within walking distance.
Hentian Duta
Many north-bound Transnasional express buses use this
terminal which is located a distance to the west of the city
centre on Jalan Duta.

By train
KTM’s intercity trains arrive at the new KL Sentral railway
station, located (despite the name) a fair distance to the south
of the city center. Take the Putra LRT or KL Monorail to the city
center, or RM10 coupon taxi to most destinations in the city
center.
By boat
Kuala Lumpur is not located by the sea. However, there are
ferry connections to/from Sumatra (Indonesia) at Port Klang,
about 40 km west of Kuala Lumpur. See the Port Klang article
for details on how to get there.
Get around
The first phase of Kuala Lumpur’s ambitious public transport
system is now complete, but there’s still a fair amount of room
for improvement.
By taxi
With RM2 flagfall and RM0.10 for every 200m after the first 2
km, red and white normal taxis are not very expensive in Kuala
Lumpur and are probably the best way to get around, at least
outside the congested peak hours. Note that bright yellow
premium taxis have a RM4 flagfall and also charge a bit more by
kilometer. There are also various small surcharges for radio call
(RM1), baggage (RM1 per piece), etc.
Try to get the driver to use the meter, although this may be
difficult when demand exceeds supply as most cabbies consider
the official rates too low. If you have to bargain, aim for RM5
for short trips, RM10 if going across town. If staying in a fancy
hotel, tell the driver the name of the mall next to it to lower his
expectations.
work out more expensive than using the meter, but cheaper
than bargaining.
Some taxi drivers will hang around near hotels offering tours
similar to those offered by established companies. Feel free to
listen to their offers and bargain with them if you like. Some
of these cabbies are quite knowledgeable and you may end up
with a specially tailored, private tour for less than the cost of an
official tour.
By car
Driving in Kuala Lumpur can be a nightmare, with heavy traffic,
a convoluted web of expressways and poor signage to guide you
through it all. Reckless drivers are common - Malaysia infamously
has one of the highest road accident rates in the world. Suicidal
motorcyclists will also keep you on your toes.
On foot
KL is a notoriously pedestrian-hostile city, with heavy traffic
(and aggressive drivers), few pedestrian crossings / pathways,
and poorly maintained foot-paths. Walking within some districts
(e.g. Chinatown and Bukit Bintang) is feasible but walking long
distance generally is not. Lately, pick-pockets and bag-snatchers
When it rains the sidewalks and streets turn into small rivers
and crossing a street can be an adventure.
See
Kuala Lumpur is one of those cities which is short on must-see
attractions: the real joy lies in wandering randomly, seeing,
shopping and eating your way through it. It’s hot, humid and
sometimes crowded though, so schedule some air-conditioned
downtime in shopping malls or restaurants into your plan. You
may find that most attractions are only crowded on weekends/
holidays and deserted on weekdays.
of the city. Views from the Tower are far superior than those
from the Petronas Towers, though it is not a particularly easy
place to reach by public transport.
You can also get a good dosage of pampering in KL. For those
in search of spas, there are several five-star hotel-connected as
well as independent treatment centers in the Golden Triangle.
You’ll also find heaps of reflexology and foot massage places
everywhere but especially in Bukit Bintang in the Golden
Triangle and Chinatown.
Buy
There’s some great shopping to be done in Kuala Lumpur. Goods
are available in every price bracket, and while electronics are a
tad more expensive than in Singapore or Hong Kong they can
still be much cheaper than Europe.
Eat
Malaysians are obsessed with
food and it is hardly surprising
that as the country’s capital,
Kuala Lumpur reflects this
love affair with eating. You’ll
be able to find the entire range
of Malaysian cuisine (although
some, especially those from
Penang, argue that what you
get in KL is not the best) as
well as food from around the
world.
■ 450px-Akle
(Correct caption to be inserted)
As far as the budget is concerned,
you can eat fairly well for fairly little in KL. Just head to the
roadside stalls and what Malaysians call coffeeshops (kedai
kopi) - a shop which operates like a food court with many stalls
selling a variety of food (mostly Chinese, and hence, non-halal).
Some coffeeshops offer streetside dining by placing their tables
on the sidewalks of roads. Coffeeshops are found on virtually
every street in KL but Chinatown (especially Jalan Sultan, Jalan
Hang Lekir and Jalan Petaling) in the City Center and Jalan Alor
in the Golden Triangle have some of the greatest concentration
of coffeeshops and stalls. They mostly open only at night.
Drink
KL has quite a vibrant nightlife and the Golden Triangle is the
epicenter of most of the partying which goes on in the city. Jalan
P. Ramlee, just south of KLCC, is Kuala Lumpur’s central clubbing
area, while the action also spills onto Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan
Ampang, Jalan Pinang and Jalan Perak. Nearby Bukit Bintang
also throbs with action, and its neon-lit nightclubs, many of
them with hostesses, certainly have a more Asian feel to them.
Bangsar has long been one of the busiest places in Kuala Lumpur
after the sun goes down. The action is around Jalan Telawi and
its side streets, and is definitely the place to go for clubbing and
deafening music.
Another trend that has hit Malaysia is the kopitiam fad, basically
a more upmarket version of the traditional Chinese coffeeshop.
These mostly open during the day and offer some of the best
tea and coffee and light meals and snacks like nasi lemak and
the ever popular toast with kaya (coconut jam). If you prefer
Western style coffee, there are many coffee outlets in KL, most
of them part of international and local chains like Starbucks,
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and San Francisco Coffee. Most of
them can be found in shopping malls.
Sleep
KL’s budget accommodation is mostly found in Chinatown in the
City Centre where a bed for the night can be as little as RM20.
Increasingly, more are opening in the Bukit Bintang and Jalan
Tuanku Abdul Rahman / Chow Kit and Jalan Ipoh areas which
are near the Golden Triangle, where prices are slightly higher
than in Chinatown but you’ll be next to KL’s entertainment,
shopping and dining center. The places also tend to be more
spacious and cozy. Try and avoid any hostels marked Rumah
Tumpangan; these are dodgy boarding houses for foreign
workers or cater to the trade where rooms are rented out by
the hour.
Contact
Internet cafes are quite plentiful in KL and you can find them
in most malls. If you have your own laptop, Maxis’ WLAN
service is the best deal around: as of Dec.07, a prepaid RM15
card gets you unlimited use for two weeks. Few hotels in Kuala
Lumpur offer Internet access in their rooms. However, some
hotels around the KL Sentral station now start to install LAN
cables with Internet access in the rooms. Furthermore, many
hotels offer free WiFi access in their lobbies. Free WiFi access
is also available from many dining establishments and shopping
complexes in the city
Respect
Kuala Lumpur is a liberal city and wearing shorts, short skirts
and low-cut tops is fine. That said, many temples require
covering up, and you’ll get more respect from officialdom if you
dress up a little.
Also, keep in mind that while you may drink at bars, public
drunkenness is a no-no! You will be robbed while you are at it,
and sooner or later you’ll see yourself in the rear seat of a police
car.
Stay healthy
Tap water is generally safe in Kuala Lumpur, although many
visitors prefer to stick to bottled water anyway. There is no
malaria, but local mosquitoes can carry dengue fever. The only
way to avoid contracting dengue is to prevent bites by the Aedes
mosquito. Citronella coils (called Ubat Nyamuk = “Mosquito
Medicine” locally) are readily available in stores and can be
burned in your hotel room to effectively repel mosquitoes.
Stay safe
You’re unlikely to be a victim of violent crime in KL, but
pickpockets are common and bag snatching is on the rise.
Keep a close eye on your valuables in crowds, especially street
markets and public transport (especially during rush hour),
and hold your bag on the side away from the street if there are
motorbikes around.
Taxis are generally safe, but they often refuse to use the meter
and a few cabbies will gouge tourists mercilessly. If they won’t
use the meter, then don’t take that taxi, as by law they are
required to use the meter. However if you are desperate to use
that taxi, agree on the fare in advance, and try to get an estimate
of the cost from a local before you climb on board.
short you end up gambling and losing money, and some people
have had trouble getting away, or have been robbed etc.
Locals are very friendly to the tourists. Greet them well with
warm smile and if they can speak and understand English,
they will be happy to show you
around. Be friendly! If you are
lost, just ask someone on the
street.

Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur (, Malay and locally or even ), is the capital and
the largest city of Malaysia. The city proper, making up an area
of 244 km2, has an estimated population of 1.6 million in 2006.
It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, in
terms of population as well as economy.
History
Kuala Lumpur has its origins in the 1850s, when the Malay Chief
of Klang, Raja Abdullah, hired some Chinese labourers to open
new and larger tin mines. They landed at the confluence of
Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang (Klang River) to open mines
at Ampang. Sungai Gombak was previously known as Sungai
Lumpur, which means muddy river. The city thus derived the
name Kuala Lumpur which literally means “muddy confluence”
in Bahasa Malaysia. Later, tin mines were opened at Pudu and
Batu. Among the early notable pioneers are Hiu Siew and Liu
Ngim Kong.
During World War II, Kuala Lumpur was captured by the Japanese
army on January 11, 1942. They remained in occupation until
August 15, 1945, when the commander in chief of the Japanese
Seventh Area Army in Singapore and Malaya, Seishiro Itagaki,
surrendered to the British administration following the Atomic
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Kuala Lumpur grew
through the war, the rubber and tin commodity crashes and
the Malayan Emergency, during which Malaya was preoccupied
Geography
The geography of Kuala Lumpur is characterized by a huge valley
known as Klang Valley. The valley is bordered by the Titiwangsa
Mountains in the east, several minor ranges in the north and
the south and the Strait of Malacca in the west. Kuala Lumpur
is a Malay term which translates to “muddy confluence” as it is
located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers.
Weather
Protected by the Titiwangsa Mountains in the east and
Indonesia’s Sumatra Island in the west, Kuala Lumpur has a
year-round equatorial climate which is warm and sunny, along
with plentiful rainfall, especially during the southwest monsoon
from September to April. Temperatures tend to remain
constant. Maximums hover between 31°C and 33°C (88-92°F)
and have never exceeded 37°C (99°F), while minimums hover
between 22°C and 23.5°C (71-74°F) and have never fallen below
19°C (66°F). Kuala Lumpur typically receives 2,266 mm (93.1”)
of rain annually; June and July are relatively dry, but even then
rainfall typically exceeds 125 mm (5”) per month.
Demographics
Kuala Lumpur also has a mix of different cultures. Unlike the
whole of Malaysia, where Malays comprise the ethnic majority,
the majority of Kuala Lumpur residents are Chinese.
Population statistics
The estimated population of Kuala Lumpur in 2006 was 1.58
million. With a population density of 6,502 people per km2, it is
the most densely populated administrative district in Malaysia.
With an estimated metropolitan population of 6.9 million in
2007, it can be considered a primate city. The continuing decline
in the birth rate for Kuala Lumpur has resulted in the decline in
the proportion of young people below 15 years old from 33%
in 1980 to slightly less than 27% in 2000. On the other hand,
the working age group of 15-59 increased from 63% in 1980 to
67% in 2000. The elderly age group, 60 years old and above has
increased from 4% in 1980 and 1991 to 6% in 2000.
Local government
The local administration is carried out by the Kuala Lumpur
City Hall, an agency under the Federal Territories Ministry of
Malaysia. They are responsible for public health and sanitation,
waste removal and management, town planning, environmental
protection and
building control,
social and economic
development and
general maintenance
functions of urban
infrastructure.
Executive power lies
with the mayor in
the city hall, who is

appointed for three
(Correct caption to be inserted)
years by the Federal
Territories Minister. This system of appointing the mayor has
been in place ever since the local government elections were
suspended in 1970.
Politics
Kuala Lumpur is home to the Parliament of Malaysia. The
parliament is composed of a lower House of Representatives
(Dewan Rakyat) and an upper House of Senate (Dewan Negara).
The city is represented in the lower House of Representatives
by eleven Members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected to five-
year terms. Traditionally, political leanings in Kuala Lumpur
have been dominated by Barisan Nasional (BN), with seven
representatives from BN and the other four from the Democratic
Action Party (DAP) prior to the 2008 General Elections. After the

Tourism
The tourism sector also plays an important part in the city’s
economy, providing income, employment and expanding
business opportunities. As an extension of this, many large
worldwide hotel chains have presence in the city. Kuala Lumpur
has also developed into an international shopping destination
with a wide variety of shopping centres and mega malls which
carry well-known global and local brands. Conference tourism
has also expanded in recent years and is becoming a very
important component of the industry.
Retail
Kuala Lumpur alone has 66 shopping malls and it is the retail
and fashion hub for Malaysia. Shopping in Malaysia contributes
RM7.7 billion (USD 2.26 billion) or 20.8 percent of the RM31.9
billion tourism receipts in 2006. and Kuala Lumpur, as Malaysia’s
retail hub, plays a big role in attracting consumers. Suria KLCC
is one of Malaysia’s premier shopping destinations due to its
location beneath the Petronas Twin Towers, the world’s tallest
twin towers and second and third-tallest singular towers. Apart
from Suria KLCC, Bukit Bintang, which resembles Tokyo’s Ginza,
New York’s Fifth Avenue and Singapore’s Orchard Road has the
highest concentration of shopping outlets in Kuala Lumpur.
Bukit Bintang which is part of the Kuala Lumpur’s Golden
Triangle, spans over 3 roads which are Jalan Bukit Bintang, Jalan
Imbi and Jalan Sultan Ismail. It houses various cafes, alfresco
dining outlets and shopping complexes namely Berjaya Times
Square, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Imbi Plaza, Kuala Lumpur Plaza,
Low Yat Plaza, Starhill Gallery, Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot 10, and
Pavilion KL. Furthermore, the Bangsar district also has a few
shopping complexes. Mid Valley Megamall, The Gardens and
Bangsar Village are a few to be named. Damansara area in
the north-west of Kuala Lumpur is the home of IKEA outlet,
locally operated Ikano Power Centre, The Curve shopping mall,
Cathay Multi Screen Cinemas and 1 Utama, another mega mall
is situated less than one kilometre away.
Architecture
The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is a blend of old colonial
influences, Asian traditions, Malay Islamic inspirations, modern,
and postmodern architecture mix. Being a relatively young city
compared with other Southeast Asian capitals such as Bangkok,
Jakarta and Manila, most of Kuala Lumpur’s colonial buildings
were built toward the end of 19th and early 20th century. These
buildings have Moorish, Tudor, Neo-Gothic or Grecian-Spanish
style or architecture. Most of the styling has been modified to
use local resources and acclimatized to the local climate, which
is hot and humid all year around.
Parks
The Perdana Lake Gardens, a 92 hectare manicured garden
near the Malaysian Parliament building, was once home to
a British colonial official. The park includes a Butterfly Park,
Deer Park, Orchid Garden, Hibiscus Garden and Kuala Lumpur
Bird Park, Southeast Asia’s largest bird park. Other parks in the
city include, the ASEAN Sculpture Garden, Kuala Lumpur City
Centre Park (KLCC), Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Metropolitan
Lake Gardens in Kepong, Forest Research Institute Malaysia,
Taman Tasik Permaisuri (Queen’s Lake Gardens), Bukit Kiara
Botanical Gardens, Equestrian Park and West Valley Park near
TTDI, and Bukit Jalil International Park.
There are three forest reserves within the city namely the Bukit
Nanas Forest Reserve in the city center, the oldest gazetted
forest reserve in the country (10.52 hectares), Bukit Sungai
Putih Forest Reserve (7.41 hectares) and Bukit Sungai Besi Forest
Reserve (42.11 hectares). Bukit Nanas, in the heart of the City
Centre, is one of the oldest virgin forests in the world within a
city. These residual forest areas are home to a number of fauna
species particularly monkeys, tree shrews, squirrels and birds.
Arts
Kuala Lumpur is a hub for cultural activities and events in
Malaysia. Among the centres is the National Museum which is
situated along the Mahameru Highway. Its collection comprises
artifacts and paintings collected throughout the country.
The Petronas Art Gallery, another centre for fine art, is situated
in Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). The Galeri Tangsi near
Dataran Merdeka houses exhibitions of works by local and
foreign artists.
Kuala Lumpur is one of the host cities for the Formula One
World Championship, the open-wheel auto racing A1 Grand
Prix and the Motorcycle Grand Prix with races being held
at Sepang International Circuit in the neighbouring state of
Selangor, next to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The Formula One event contributes significantly to tourist
arrivals and tourism income to Kuala Lumpur. This is evident
during the Asian Financial Crisis in 1998. Despite cities around
Asia suffering declining tourist arrivals, Kuala Lumpur tourist
arrivals increased from 6,210,900 in 1997 to 10,221,600 in 2000,
or 64.6% increase in tourist arrivals.
The city also has numerous large private fitness centers run by
California Fitness, Fitness First, Celebrity Gym, True Fitness
and the major five star hotels.
Media
There are several newspapers, including daily newspapers,
business newspapers and also a digital newspaper, based in
Kuala Lumpur. Daily newspapers include Utusan Malaysia,
Berita Harian, Harian Metro, The Star, New Straits Times, The
Sun, Malay Mail, Kosmo! as well as other language newspapers.
Kuala Lumpur is also the headquarters for Malaysia’s state
broadcaster RTM and commercial station TV3. Programmes are
broadcast in Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil.
Transportation
Unlike most other Asian cities, driving is the main mode
of commuting in Kuala Lumpur. High speed roadways, or
expressways are tolled roadways, and motorist using these
expressways have an option of paying by cash, or by stored
value cards such as Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG.
Education
According to government statistics, Kuala Lumpur has a literacy
rate of 97.5% in 2000, the highest rate in any state or territory
in Malaysia.
In Malaysia, Malay is the language of instruction for most
subjects while English is a compulsory subject and is used as
the language of instruction for mathematics and the natural
sciences. There are also schools which provide Mandarin and
Tamil as languages of instruction for certain subjects.
