5 Things I HATE (Kind Of) About Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[@syazwanie2206]

In my opinion the cleanliness in kuala lumpur is out of control now due to too many foreingener workers esp from bangladesh. The authorities have to do something drastic about this issue. as a malaysian from northern reign state, I honestly felt like a foreingener in my own country when in was in kl.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Interesting, appreciate your opinion and input!

[@sysy1971]

Yes. I agree with you. There are too many foreign workers in KL and they make our city dirty

[@Yasin_Affandi]

To a certain extent, what you said it's true enough. The prolonged existence of the illegal immigrants in Malaysia, if it's left unchecked, could lead to more unnecessary problems to our country, creating unsolved imbalances for our federal and also states government. 😄

I am from Canada and I've been to Malaysia 4 years ago and again now for leisure purposes. KL is a very densely populated and tourist filled city. I've seen foreigners from all over the world. China, India, Australia, you name it. Yes the smell of Durian is awful and the food markets where they don't wash their hands before preparing food are my pet peeves. The traffic and the pollution, never ending construction in KL are out of control. With kids I had felt suffocating in KL but when you get out the city life its actually very nice. However, these are thunts thar can he overlooked because i still like it more than Canada. Specifically Toronto where i come from. Its mich dirtier there and more chaotic. I visit Malaysia because its still better than many Western countries like France, Uk or New York. Speaking from a Muslim perspective. There is system here and its mucu better than mant cities I've visited.

1. Weather - nothing can be done. Live with it, breathe, enjoy & adjust. The nice thing about it is that you can do a lot of outdoor activities esp sports, golfing, hiking/bush walk, camping all year round 2. Traffics - Born and raise in KL. Plan your journey (avoid peak hours). Rain will make it worst. Public transport LRT/MRT wud be the best. I wud rather spend time in the gym or hang-out with a few friends over coffee or extend my stay in the office for a few hours during peak hours before going home. By 7/8/9 pm, the traffic wud ease substantially. 3. Rats & roaches - certain areas especially open air food courts. Civic awareness of city dwellers. One thing that i've noticed (been a traveller myself), you don't see much of these in open space/outside due to the weather (cold weather i.e winter). In areas like South East Asia, you will see it 24/7 all year round. I spent a bit of my high school in Pittsburgs & college/uni in Indiana & all over US travelling during summer breaks. These problems are everywhere in the world. 4. Malls - i take it as an advantage. These are the places where I cool down after walking under the hot sun or to escape from the crazy rain. I guess, this must be the reason why we have malls (big or small) under many office towers i.e to escape the heat, rain & traffics. Some office towers have gym facilities as well. 5. Durians - hate to love it. Love the smells & the taste. Hate the after taste tho especially when you burp. To me, it is still much better than those smelly aged cheese like Bossa. Hehehe

[@WanderlustWellman]

All good points! I agree with just about everything.

You are right. Rats in KL are huge, when I first came here its scary. 😅. Also I think malls are for locals because locals love going to the malls. Not many tourists go to the malls I noticed, so developers built a lot of malls because there is a lot of demand from local people.

KL has a more relaxed and balanced life style. Singapore has faster pace, it hurts the locals especially those in the lower income category. And its not fair to compare KL and singapore since singapore is a very tiny tinnie more island so its a lot easier to take care, control and monitor. If Singapore is the size of Sumatra island, they would face the same problem. Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and Ho Chi Minh city easily has 10-20 million of population where else KL has around 2 million, most people working in KL live in neighbouring districts. Lets not forget they could easily be a million of foreign workers in KL working in the 3D sectors not favoured by locals (dirty job, difficult and dangerous jobs)

[@adamcs2770]

Absolutely spot on. There are many areas in the city that require improvements especially relating to cleaniness n practicality. Also the dirty state of the city is not entirely down to foreign workers as other comments would suggest. It is also the locals - they generally have little regard as to where they discard their rubbish or even cigarette buds - it is simply wherever that is convenient to them in the end. Couple that with poor maintenance what you see is what you get...n it's pretty bad...

But you will complaint about the tropical heat right? So which one, the malls or in the jungle? Garbage ? Believe me or not, kl is a magnet for foreign workers from bangladesh, pakistan, myanmar, Nepal, india (not sure how many are legal workers) From my knowledge, Bangladeshis are the top culprits at old apartments. When there is a long public holiday example Eid end of ramadhan, they will gather in downtown kl and trash their food and drink packages. When locals return to work after the holidays, it will look exactly like old dhaka. I swear to god, to tell the truth.

Malaysians are more laidback. The Malls are amazing but for me not for shopping nothing can Beat Amsterdam, Paris, Antwerp. Not even Dubai. The other thing which I hate, is that Native Malaysians (not Chinese, Thai, Indians) are not that kind and friendly to me. My appearance looks very Middle Eastern (Iam not Arab). But Malaysians think Iam Arab. They are not friendly. I can understand because Arabs can be very Rude, so I never blame them.

I am living only 14km from KL and it has been years since I last stepped foot within the golden triangle. The KL I used to know has lost its soul and authenticity. In some parts, it feels even obnoxious to see a row of shoplots offering massage service with girls calling customers like they are offering something else (at that moment, I tought I was in the neighbouring contry). It is also an eye sore to see some foreign tourists wearing super thin clothes their nipples show. And of course there are many more (as written by others in the comment section). Hence, having said that, I truly understand the things you mentioned because in reverse, as a local, there are also many things I am not comfortable with in many aspects be it from tourists, foreign workers, illegal immigrants.

Haha thanks, I was trying to be respectful and come from a place of not being too judgmental. Where did you visit in India that had similar flaws?

[@Yasin_Affandi]

I've not been to Hyderabad, but just passed the city from the highway. I worked and lived in Mumbai for 3 years, the city centre is quite clean in certain areas, but in the other suburban areas, you just have to see it yourself and make your own opinions. The same things about the other big cities like New Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai. Kolkata is the only 1 of the 5 biggest cities in India that I've not visited. In terms of traffic flow and traffic noise in India, they like honking. I found that the smaller cities in India are more pleasant like in Goa. Chandigarh in Punjab is one of the cleanest city in India. But by far, KL is much, much more, more and more, a better city in many ways you can think of. 😄

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@WanderlustWellman I just couldn't help it but to let you know my true experience in Mumbai. The air, water and noise pollutions were unbearable. I've seen people do their toilet biz open at the reclamation land by the sea . My office in Bandra East wasn't far away from the biggest slum area in the city. Bandra West, where I lived may be a good place, but honking is everywhere. I was shocked to see that homeless people sleep under the flyover, in the middle of the road dividers, make a tent as a shelter, not only in Mumbai but also in Delhi. I've seen people putting their clothes to dry by hanging those wet clothes on the fence of a road divider. The beggars seemed to flock in certain areas in many parts of big cities. These problems are real, and the locals detest reading something like this. India is the second most populated country in the world, and there are too many common problems left unchecked by the government. That's the reality of life for some people in this world. How can they change to make a better life, it's entirely up to them and their leaders. The good, bad and ugly, exist everywhere in this world, and given a choice, we all, no matter where we are, want to live in a better world. 😄

[@ikhlazz]

You went too far with this comparison. I visited many cities in europe and they were not so clean as well... But comparing to city in India is like no no

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@ikhlazz Don't worry. I don't think this person has been to all the big cities in India, to make such a lame comparison, to beautiful KL. All cities in the world have their own attractions, vibes, charm and beauty, and it all depends on how each person explore those places. I was in Mumbai for 3 years, it's definitely a bigger and richer city than KL, but I can safely say, it's a thousand times better than any big city in India. 😀

You shuold at night in bukit bintang

[@WanderlustWellman]

I went to Bukit Bintang at night and I really loved it!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Rats : Have you been to Washington DC and the parks? My Canadian buddy told me he was put off and shocked.

[@WanderlustWellman]

I actually have never been to Washington D.C., but I'm not surprised to hear that!

[@Ron-rk6iz]

What he basically says is that he does not like bigger Asian Cities.........

[@WanderlustWellman]

I don't agree - maybe I think cities such as Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul are a little cleaner and less chaotic, but I still loved Kuala Lumpur. I just have a few critiques, and some of them honestly make the city unique and charming

[@mohamednoorothman1903]

I agree with you Wellman, some parts of the city is very dirty. Being local I feel a bit embarrassing about the cleanliness of the city. I have lodged the complaints to the City Hall of Kuala Lumpur to take fast actions to solve the matter.

[@dadaebiko8332]

Ordinary Malaysians can start forming groups and picking up rubbish as volunteers..

[@BelieveInTheTruth.]

But i love Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur too.

[@azharidris7092]

if you think KL is hot should go to Dubai.. in mid summer.. it will fry you in seconds..

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha I hope I can find out for myself someday!

[@vs123]

I like street foods

[@WanderlustWellman]

Me too, love them!

[@genelee5552]

Lol heat and humidity...duh.. Dude... Sea what do u expect..

[@WanderlustWellman]

I did expect it, but it was a bit more intense than I thought at times. I also wanted to let other people know in case they are a bit unaware, so I made sure to include it in this video!

[@anuealmonaz]

too mush illegal immigrants bringing along their bad dirty behaviour tarnish Kuala Lumpur

[@aswincsekaran91]

Nevertheless KL is ❤

[@WanderlustWellman]

Every city and country definitely has room for improvement, we still loved KL and Malaysia and hope to return to see and do more! 😀🇲🇾

[@sempoi7399]

Nobody's perfect. But it's bit better than others.😊

Good point!

Aww very American of you.

DBKL shame on you!!!

[@mohdidrusosman1047]

TQ for promoting our country.... make Malaysia more famous....tq tq tq...

[@まつし-q7w]

I don't think these 5 things are big problems.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks for the opinion, I also don't think they are big problems, which is why I "kind of hate" them

[@Jimirulz1]

Dpn't go there then!

[@HamzahJamal-fz7mi]

It's ok..but i'm proud to be Malaysian...

[@WanderlustWellman]

That's great, I had a really great time in Malaysia and would love to visit more places!

[@silizoink7558]

Aleuto

[@NeidlichesSchwert]

Creepo.

[@ewansariasmara8215]

You came to poor non developed country like Malaysia and reacts persistently insult about impropered hygiene system that doesn't suit your taste. It's far more convenient for you to stayed comfort in your cleanest and most developed country without any hesitation.

[@WanderlustWellman]

To be fair, I don't claim that my "developed" country is any cleaner or hygienic - I think Kuala Lumpur is still much cleaner and safer than most cities in the USA nowadays. Just little small critiques/reactions I had upon my first visit, not trying to insult!

[@sidetwoo]

​@@WanderlustWellman you will encounter this type of people ..irritating

[@ewansariasmara8215]

​@@sidetwoo Westerners sees developing countries especially from Asia part of them dislike it if Asian countries being well managed. As you can see for example China now are being bullied only because of their extraordinary brilliant workmanship in every way. Yeah I'm irritating person and fortunately not to the ex colonists. KZbinrs knows how to gain a lot of money by putting up only good stories and chilling.

[@sara.cbc92]

Malaysia is dirty. Cry about it.

[@sara.cbc92]

@@ewansariasmara8215 do you know a neighboring country called Singapore? The difference in hygiene, education and economy is miles apart from Malaysia and rest of South east Asia. It's about attitude.

[@ElvinYeo-t2g]

Rats in NYC is even bigger

[@Vazter]

Basically you just like developed cities like Tokyo, Seoul , Singapore 😂 I’m in NYC now and I like chaotic city like NYC, Paris, KL, Bangkok

[@WanderlustWellman]

I do like Tokyo Seoul and Singapore a lot, but I also like chaotic cities - I feel like the chaos is a pro and a con though!
