Where to live in Kuala Lumpur

Where to live in Kuala Lumpur?
Hi, I may have an opportunity to take a job in Cyberjaya but would like to live as close to the nightlife and city living of KL as possible. What are my options? I can live with a 45-60 minute commute to work. What is the cost of living in KL/Cyberjaya compared to the States? Thanks!

hmmm,the best economical place of staying is salak south garden where it's about 3 km from the city n easy accessable to cyberjaya coz of highway links.cost of living is relatively low as compare with states,it's roughly usd 2k per month.good luck.
3 :
Unipark Avenue Condominium (located between Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) http://projects.realestate.net.my/Detailed/4.html
4 :
Bangsar Mont Kiara Quite happening here & not too far from the hub of KL. You'll find many expatriates in these 2 areas as well, plus international schools.
5 :
the best area is in Puchong because it is next to cyberjaya (10 minutes min), next to sunway (10 minutes min), about 1/2hour to damansara, and 1/2hour to KL. Puchong is now become favourite place to stay because everything is here. Banks, hospital, pubs, huge shopping mall, cinema...etc... Cost of living, fully furnished apartment can cost you RM1,200 above.

He can only get a work permit in Malaysia unless he is employed and the employer applies for a work permit for him.

check with malaysian consulate or embassy, certain professional skills maybe required by them.

he can come to malaysia on a tourist visa and while in malaysia, he can find and secure a job. after that he can obtain a work permit.

You need a job offer to start the process going. The immigration department won't give him a working visa otherwise. I do know some people come in and out of Malaysia on a tourist visa and work, but that's illegal. I'm on a spouse visa. My wife is Malaysia, I'm Aussie. Still need an job to get in but easier. Used to work for people, but started own company. That could be an option for you (start own business), but there are conditions to be filled as well. Immigration department has a few different types of visa's for foreigners. Defined by Skills and conditions. Suggest you go to putrajaya and check it out. They are quite friendly and very effiecient (compared to when I first came over in 1997). Going down there next week to renew my visa. Cheers

New years eve Kuala Lumpur

New years eve Kuala Lumpur?
I'll be celebrating new years eve in KL this year. Where is the best place to watch the fire works from? I saw some brilliant movie clips on you tube from fireworks near the Petronas, but I think it's best to see it with a bit of a distance. Any suggestions? Besides the fire works, any other tips about new years eve in Kuala Lumpur? I'm not into big crowded parties, though a few cocktails in a nice place will do :)

Well you could do that too. Cant think of other ways as we do that every year without fail, and i dont find it boring at all. Im not into big crowded parties either.

An excellent salary. You will be able to save on that salary. Furniture is reasonably priced if you look around. .Clothes and Shoes are cheap in KL Rentals are reasonable. Wet markets have cheap fish etc and local markets have cheap fruit and vegetables. only imports are expensive. Alcohol is expensive,too. There are good international schools in KL. Do you mean the Spanish company? Really, I think you will love KL. It is a modern, safe, friendly, workable city.
2 :
RM6,000/= per month should be comfortable for a family of 4, [after the initial settling in...] but if you got the offer without you applying for it, and via an agent, you need to contact the company directly for more information....and confirmation of the offer. If the company is looking for personnel, it should be the one to pay "up-front" expenses, not you. Just be aware of that.

seems like a fair offer.

You will be able to live very well on that salary. The salary is about 5 times what a Malaysian earns.

Please VERIFY your job offer. Got a lot of scams running around. They are not based in Malaysia, the nearest country in Asia according to their website is in South Korea, Hong Kong, India and China.

2 :
Personally I think it is a bad idea. Playing house may seem really cool but it doesn't prepare you for marriage. I watched both my sister's do this. They said it would give them more info. first. Both lived with guys for years, married and divorced. One of the problems was that in living together, everything was 50/50. Once they got married that didn't change. In reality married is seldom 50/50 at any time. It shifts constantly but when one of them became pregnant he wasn't prepared to pick up the bills and expected her to work once the baby was born and she expected a traditional home. They hadn't discussed their expectations in all those years before. I realize I'm a dinosaur in my thinking but you aren't married. Playing like you are is not a safe bet. In marriage you help each other through the rough times, for better or worse. In living together if it isn't fun all the time you just leave. Where is the security and love? Have more respect for yourself and demand more from him that just using you. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but it is the truth as I see it. You deserve better.

Not if you have your own room, and respect their home.

You are living in a different country with different cultural standards in many non-european foreign countries they have much stricter moral standards than Americans. It is a good idea not to live there especially if the parents didn't invite you to. That goes for here in the US too.
5 :
it sounds like they are OK with it, but it doesn't seem as if you are entirely OK with it. Malaysia is, to my knowledge, relatively conservative (and mostly Muslim). many conservative cultures frown on women having their own apartments, there is a tendency to assume that shenanigans are taking place. Either they are just being nice and generous, or perhaps they feel they are trying to protect you or your reputation (which might extend to them, in some odd way). Can you tell which it is? If they are conservative, they also might expect marriage to be imminent....

kl is not that big so you should take the opportunity to visit the surroundings too. this is the suggest maximum days in kl if you have the time. days1-3 (in kl itself): visit the national museum, islamic art museum, orang asli musem, history museum, national art galery, national mosque, merdeka square, national monument, the twin towers, kl tower, eye on malaysia, butterfly and bird park, tuanku abdul rahman memorial and thean hou temple, chan see shu yuen temple. little india and jamek mosque. in the evening, 1. visit chow kit road at night and explore see the markets and how local shop around. 2. china town for fake branded items at the nite market and also sri mahamariamman temple. 3. kampong baru (a village settlement smacked right in the heart of the city)- enjoy glorious food there. 4. bintang walk and also jalan alor along bukit bintang area . day 4 (surrounding areas): go to batu caves (an impressive huge hindu temple about 30 min away from kl) in the evening visit the famous firefly swamp which is located at Kampong Kuantan, near Kuala Selangor. From sundown until 11:30 p.m., the local community at Kampong Kuantan run a series of small, gondola-like boats that go back and forth over stretches of river lined by trees filled with thousands of fireflies (known locally as "kelip-kelip.") In the mating call of the male fireflies, the blinking lights are amazingly synchronized, providing the viewer with a spectacular, natural light show. This is apparently one of the few places on earth where this phenomenon occurs. The boat trip itself, which lasts about half an hour, is a calm and relaxing ride. A trip out to Kampong Kuantan, some 56 kilometers from KL, takes well over an hour, so it usually makes sense to combine it with a dinner at one of Kuala Selangor's fine seafood restaurants. day 5: visit putrajaya (the new gov administrative city about 45min away from kl) and visit Perdana Putra, Putra Mosque, Putra Bridge, Putrajaya Independence Square, Millennium Monument, Palace of Justice, Seri Perdana, Seri Perdana Bridge, Putrajaya Landmark, Putrajaya Wetlands Park. take a cruise on the lake.

you can spend how much day as you want here..when you feel bored, you free to go..no offense..KL got too much thing to do..you won't regret at here..

In Kuala Lumpur, 3 days is sufficient. If you like shopping, you can catch up at the Bukit Bintang Area, Mid Valley or One Utama. Otherwise, you can visit the Petronas Twin Tower, KL Tower and Putrajaya. Enjoy Malaysia.

How do you get over somebody who likes you too but it just won't work because of distance..

How do you get over somebody who likes you too but it just won't work because of distance..?
We had the happiest 1 month and half together. Then I had to leave Kuala Lumpur because of work (it got me there in the first place). I still really really like him, and I know he still has something for me. I really miss him. We chat reguarly which kills me even more. We can't have a relationship because he's there, I'm here. If it weren't for the distance, I know we would've made a great couple. To keep a long distance relationship would only destroy what we have because we are both young (20-somethings) and focused on things like business and career. We can't. We're better off not being together despite knowing what we feel for each other because, admit it, reailty bites. Long distance would only work if we had the same plans but at this stage, that's not going to happen. But where ever I go , when ever I turn on the radio, or TV,something ALWAYS reminds me of him. How do I get over this? How do I get over him? Cut contact? I can't do that to a friend that I love...

3 :
You state that you are focused on your career yet all I can see is that you are focused on him. Why can't a long distance relationship work? I've seen many people do it and they ended up married and are still together. Love knows no boundaries. Why should you forget about someone you care so deeply about. If you can focus all your energy on thinking of him, why can't you make this work? You are going to break up with a great guy and friend and end all ties? I'm not sure why you would want to do that. So your job took you somewhere else. It may take you back too! Love always finds a way. As far as trying to get over him, if that's what YOU really want, only time will change that...good luck!
4 :
Sounds like to already made your decision and now you just have to stick to it. Tell him what you just mentioned to us and request that for that reason you do not want to talk or chat anymore. It is easier to move on if you do not see or talk to him anymore. Stay busy and life will give you another opportunity to fall in love. As time goes by you will feel better progressively.

I understand that you want to study in malaysia, new to the area and don't know anyone. Your colleagues are the easiest way to turn, they are your existing contacts. Ask them to go hang out w/ you and surely you can meet all the people you want, and they can think you're great, but if you don't take any actions to do something with them in the future, then you won't form many new relationships. Facebook............forget it. Its your move.

Cost of living is low in Kuala Lumpur if you eat at the hawker center or food courts. Average cost per meal is about RM 5. Petrol is Rm 1.95 per liter. You'll save alot of money if you don't waste it on alcohol, cigarattes, and women. For entertainment, the local cinema cost about RM 10 per ticket. You could play tennis, badminton or go jogging in the many available public sporting facilities eg. Bukit Jalil.
2 :
Taboos : - Don't use left hand to take or give goods, especially to Muslim. - DON'T wear shoes/sandals inside one's residential house. People walk barefoot in the house, or if there are housesandals, the host should offer a pair to you. - depending where you are from, the driver seat is on the right hand side, so people drive on the left lane. - While shorts and sleeveless are permitted, if you go holiday to the muslim states (Kelantan, Trengganu, etc), better cover up more, regardless men or women. Big city, and non-muslim controlled state like Penang, Selangor, Melaka is ok to dress casually. - no topless for women at the beach, regardless which part of malaysia. It is officially a muslim country. - Don't offer or mention anything to do with pig, boar, dog, and its meat, etc etc to muslim people. - Don't offend the way the muslim ladies cover up so much in the middle of the scorching heat (easily 90 degree or more day time), it's the way they dress religiously. Respect. - Don't offer alchohol to Muslims as well. - Majority of Malaysians do not consume alcohol. But there is this group of people who adopt western lifestyle, mostly around Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Bukit Damansara area. - Beware that the people there are very, ehm, busybody. They'd like to know everything about everything, including where you live, how much you make, are you married, etc etc, all those questions which are considered personal in western country are pretty much common conversation material. You do'nt have to answer if you don't want to. Just laugh yourself out of it. - Don't expect consistent punctuality, sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. It is quite easy to differentiate muslim and non-muslim. If one is Malay ethnicity, then 99.99% is Muslim (for the Malays have to be Muslim by birth). Most Chinese are not muslims, but you might be surprised that some are, especially mix origin ones. Good percentage of Indians (not American Indian, but Indian from India origin) are muslim or hindu. Cost of living: To conduct expatriate lifestyle (wine and dine at expatriate-populated area), prepare to pay at least 10-20 Ringgit for a drink (alcoholic), 50 Ringgit or more per person for a meal (soemtimes goes up to 100 for chi-chi restaurant), about 60 to 150 ringgit for a bottle of wine in a restaurant (sorry, no BYO there). BUT, if you go down and dirty to hawker street food, 5 to 10 ringgit for a satisfying meal (2 course meal), 15 ringgit for big bottle of Tiger beer or Carlsberg. Huge price difference. Suggestion: go to hawker, much better food and cheap. Best expatriate hangouts: Bangsar, Mont Kiara, and Sri Hartamas. Depending where you are from, Air conditioner could be a MUST for humidity and heat are almost unforgiveable there. Around 78 to 90 year round (Farenheit).

Look out for the nearest 7 eleven and apply for appropriate position .. normally they will pay you RM 3.50 per hour for part time .. or maybe you can work at petrol pump or any other fast food restaurant such as pizza or mcdonald ... the worst you can work is .. a Money Boy in KL .. ok .. good luck
2 :
There are plenty of part time jobs around whether it's professional or not professional. Just come over & be prepared with your copy of resume, IC, or even extra photos. If you're lucky working @ Coffee Beans, Starbucks, pubs & etc. can pay up to RM5+ per hour for a part time waiter. While others sales, restorant etc. mainly RM2.80-3.50 per hour. Try to scout around Phileo Damansara & Midvalley for some data entry jobs; per hour pay about RM5. But make sure you've decent typing speed. But my personal advice is that; if you're not familar wth your studies & the area itself; it's advisable for you to focus on your studies & college life first. Many students I've met can't balance their studies & work well eventually things fall apart & they drop out of college coz. can't adapt to college life & studies.
3 :
As everyone said, don't overwork yourself. Your studies are more important. That being said, I worked as one of those sampler dudes for about RM60 for 8 hours. They have companies for that, like Demo Power. It's an incredibly tiring job though. Ask if your college has a school-sponsored tutoring program where seniors tutor freshman. The tutors in my school got RM20/hour (!). Even non-college-sponsored tutoring classes can still be rewarding. My last job was teaching keyboard for about RM10/hour, so maybe you can negotiate with your music club for that.

Can a Britsh guy (non muslim) an Iranian muslim girl in Turkey

Can a Britsh guy (non muslim) an Iranian muslim girl in Turkey?
Both professional people, both over 21 and happened to fall in love. I'm a UK national and she is living and working in Kuala Lumpur. Due to being Iranian she can't get a visa for many countries but she and I can both get to Turkey without visa's. So, will Turkish authorities allow us to marry if we have all the correct docs?

2 :
No, under islamic law a non muslim man cannot marry a muslim woman, while a non muslim woman can marry a muslim man. You can get married in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, or in any non-muslim country, but the marriage would not be recognised in Iran & Malaysia (and all muslim countries). cause she's not allowed to marry a non-muslim guy. If you really love her, you need to convert into muslim so that you can marry her in Turkey and the marriage would be valid in her home country. If her family doesnt approve the marriage (most likely), you both can land into big trouble and she knows it. if you really really love her, you must be prepared to fight for her. With all respect, it is clearly obvious that iamx has never lived in an Islamic nation and doesnt know anything about Islamic culture. Turkey is 98% muslim Turkish authorities would not perform a civil ceremony between a muslim woman and a non-muslim man as it is forbidden in Islam., even in iamx' link, it is mentioned that: 'Turkish officials cannot perform a marriage that would not be approved in your own country. If your own country's laws prohibit you from marrying, you will not be able to obtain from authorities of your own country the documents that are required by Turkish marriage law.' Iran is an Islamic nation, they'll not authorise her to marry a non-muslim person, unless you convert to Islam.

That is a good way to ensure you get referred to someone that is reputable, as hopefully your local doctor will refer you to someone they have worked with before.. Otherwise I'd do a google search for services in your region. Good luck and well done for seeking help, it shows a lot of strength! Things will get better soon!

Does Hospital Kuala Lumpur have a tendency to set violent psychiatric patients free

Does Hospital Kuala Lumpur have a tendency to set violent psychiatric patients free?
Hi, I am conducting research on cases where discharged psychiatric patients from Hospital Kuala Lumpur commit a crime soon after release. Very often, they attack those who get them warded with police help. I work for NGO and has been getting a lot of complaint. I need to collect data for presentation to Health Ministry and help create preventative measures in future. I invite members of public to share their experiences.

In many ways this is true. Here is a typical story of Hospital Kuala Lumpur's level of psychiatric professionalism: http://www.indianmalaysian.com/sound/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=1870 While I cannot vouch for this story I have seen many cases ethnic Indian patients being allowed to leave and cause problems at home. The story by Salvi @ Selina is rampling but is typical of those who had to endure years of abuse from mental patients. I do not know this case personally but it is familiar with what others endure. Often, the psychiatrists at Hospital Kuala Lumpur treat the complaining side suspiciously even when the police provide supporting evidence, neighbours provide evidence, doctors provide evidence against the mental patient warded. In one particular case I noted, one person of authority even claimed that the abused party was probably the one who was mentally insane. This is shocking case of abuse of authority. Abusive mentally ill family members who are warded at HKL are often released soon to bruise and attack their families. From what I observe, ethnic Indians suffer the most. I am not talking about first-time case but repeat offenders with medical record. Even pleas and cries to get the patient admitted to Tampoi or Tanjung Rambutan for two weeks is ignored. Wives who need to shift homes need time to collect their belongings and make new accomodations with relatives or sympathizers are ignored. Time to get their children transfered to new schools. Instead, the husbands turn up early to abuse the family, take money, drink and cause disorder. According to HKL, this is not serious crime! When suffering family members appeal or make police report again, the HKL psychiatrists will insist on taking the mental patient to private nursing home on our own. They know many Indian community cannot afford it. The HKL psychiatric staff scare us with stories that even if the patient is released from Tanjung Rambutan, they will seek help from the police to track down relatives and force them to allow the discharged patient to stay with us because they have no way else to go. Should a battered wife take back her husband at a new residence? They think we Indians are stupid. I would suggest Indians who suffer from having mentally ill patients at their house to seek help from the MCA Bureau of Complaints. Michael Chong I think is still in charge and I used to work with him years ago. I am not sure if they have the same capacity to help these days. I am not sure about Pakatan Rakyat but I think they will take a deep interest in this matter. HKL claims that Tampoi and Tanjung Rambutan does not have legal jurisdicion to ward patients. They think we Indians are stupid. What is worse is that the staff at Hospital Kuala Lumpur Psychiatric Department take the mental patients word at face value and discharge them. No wonder the crime rate in the Indian community is still high. I think this is deliberate. This has been the case for the past 3 years.
2 :
How can HKL’s psychiatric department discharge a violently mental patient from its observation ward in two days? Unless our great Malaysian psychiatrists have discovered a wonder drug that works in hours, all psychotropic drugs take time to have its intended effect on patients. Furthermore, some symptoms may get worse in the first few days. Check the labels and information leaflets provided with prescribed drugs like Risperidal, Haloperidol, Ziprasidone etc. It takes weeks for any psychotropic medication to initiate the process of recovery. In fact, it takes weeks for many cardiac, gastric and ophthalmological The standard monitoring period for warded, violently-prone patients is 4 weeks in developed nations. Three weeks if the patient has shown sufficient levels of recovery. That too if the psychiatric unit is overwhelmed and has family/social support to administer drugs. Bolehland tries this in three days!!! No wonder discharged patients relapse into violence as soon as they get home. If this concerns a relapsing patient, then the monitoring period should be longer. IMHO, if this is the prevalent practice at HKL, then it should be slapped with a class-action lawsuit. The Malaysian government is trying to bring down the crime rate, and here a bunch of mentally-challenged, stethoscope-lugging clowns are doing their best to reverse the crime rate to status quo ante. I suppose this is how they justify the need for perks. If patients are given proper treatment, then there will greater recovery rates, lower (warded) patient turnovers and a happier society. However, surplus psychiatrists would be posted to rural areas. There is another option to this psychiatric conundrum; administering a daily ECG to themselves:-) Towards Vision 2020!!!!

Cost of living in Kuala Lumpur

Cost of living in Kuala Lumpur?
I'm potentially moving to Kuala Lumpur to work for an IT company in a few months and wondering what kind of living I would experience with what roughly works out to 1450 MYR/month. I'm only working for a year as an internship before I move back to the UK. I don't drink or smoke, don't intend to do very much shopping for clothes, gadgets etc, not a fussy eater and am generally laid back about accomodation as long as it's clean. I would like internet but it's not a must. Is 1450 MYR/month reasonable or is that too little? Are there also any sites where I could look at potential accomodation? Thanks. Cheers!

You should be well equipped with so many years of working experience. Don't understand why would you need another paper to assist you in marketing? Marketing is all about fresh ideas in promoting or marketing a product. Sure you have picked up some ideas along the way. Would you truely believe that a school can help you understand marketing better? Why not just go to any bookstore and buy up some reading materials about marketing? Or meet more people from all ages to explore their innovative minds. That way maybe you could spark yourself with more new ideas. Unless if you are rich, I think going back to school would not harm. There are many business colleges and schools around like Sunway Uni Col, Monash, KBU, KDU, etc. UPM is also one of the best business school in Malaysia. No harm trying. Good luck.

Cost of living wise is still quite reasonable compared to western standard. Government efficient wise, Singapore is the best. For interesting culture, Singapore has 4 interesting cultures. For cleanliness and safety, Singapore tops it all.

You'll have more savings if you choose Kuala Lumpur. Plenty of good international school. Regulation and govt are adequate. Cleanliness, my impressions are better then Bangkok but little less then the other two. For safety it is also better then Bangkok. Culture, Malaysia is between Thailand and Singapore. You'll have Malay culture as well as parts of Indonesian, China and Indian. .

If I were you I'd choose between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. I would never prefer Bangkok over KL or Singapore, although I have been there 3 times, and it is a great city, but for families, for living, its much much better to settle down in KL or Singapore. I can describe KL and Singapore easily, since they're really similar. they are both extremely modern and tidy. You can't see a cigarette butt on the sidewalks, and you can't find any carbage thrown on the roads. Both countries are really safe, and also really interesting. Their culture is fascinating. Kuala Lumpur is a little bit cheaper than Singapore, but Singapore is cheap too. For instance, a bottle of soda costs 25 US cents, and McDonalds is the cheapest in the world. (In KL a Big Mac Meal costs 2.50 american dollars.)-In Singapore a bottle of soda is less than 1 dollar. In Singapore education is on a higher standard than in Kuala Lumpur, but it doesn't mean the Malaysian schools are bad. (if I had a choice I wouldn't hesitate taking my kids to a school in KL at once) You need to know that the University of Singapore is one of the best ones in the whole world. As a tourist I prefered KL, because there's just more life in it, Singapore is a bit too organized and "too clean", if you know what I mean. Kuala Lumpur has many great places to see, beautiful old churches, and at the same time, high tech skyscrapers. KL is said to be the greenest capital of the world. Although there are many cars buildings in the downtown, walking on the streets you can feel like being in a jungle, with all the green trees and flowers around you. People are very helpful, but they don't smile. I haven't been to Hongkok yet, but it must be a cool place too:) good luck

It depends. It would be difficult for an African, let alone a female one. What type of work in Kuala Lumpur that ONLY an African female can do ? Fashion model ? The problem- unintended racial discrimination. There is an element of xenophobia in there...no offence meant, but it is the way it is...However, Malaysians do not really mind. I would say, the only place where an African is openly and well accepted is the Church, (including theological seminaries)...
2 :
off course is hard
3 :
if you are in the high demanded field such as medic or avionics i think that much more easier to find your place.to be mentioned there's no prejudice of religions in malaysia we respect others belief.

you could work on a crab farm or try a hospital.

do you like animals? the zoo negara is open for voluntary work. just go there, gate B if ive not mistaken, tell the authorities that you want to volunteer, theyll give you some forms to fill in on the spot, and off you go helping. there are two sessions, you can help from 8 am til 2 pm, or 8 am til 5 pm. tiring, and of course dirty as you'll be handling animal dung, but my friends and I really enjoyed our time there.

You can approach orphanage and NGOs, usually they require volunteers to teach subjects like maths, science, computing, english & etc. But can be rather strict at times due to security e.g. you must travel there, be consistent & etc.
