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!

try to find a house or apartment.

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.

How can a foreigner work in Malaysia
How can a foreigner work in Malaysia?
My Aussie boyfriend does not possess any tertiary education nor does he have any job offers. We would like to cohabit in Kuala Lumpur but we have no idea about getting him a work permit of some sort. His field of work is locally uncommon. Suggestions, anyone?

He can only get a work permit in Malaysia unless he is employed and the employer applies for a work permit for him.
2 :
check with malaysian consulate or embassy, certain professional skills maybe required by them.
3 :
Check with the Australian Embassy in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Kuala Lumpur.
4 :
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.
5 :
yeh ! i think mel's answer is better..
6 :
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

Usually certain hotels would provide cooking classes for new comers. That is, if you do work with them. Best of all, learn to cook by getting some indian cooking books. There's lots of dishes that you could try at home.

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 :)

My relatives and I (6 families) book two suites every Merdeka Eve (Independence) and New Year's Eve, at an apartment near the Petronas Twin Towers. We'll watch the fireworks from our rooms (its quite near to the twin towers). After the fireworks are finished, and when the people have started to go back home, we'll go out and have drinks. 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.

why not next year celebration u change ur celebration...i mean doing the different things.. last two year,i and my clicks celebrate new year at the top in a hill..nice place,we still can see fire works..with Twisties,Pepsi.. its more memorable if u celebrate with special one..
