Getting to know KL
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. From the centralised
position which spans 243. sq. kilometres, this ultra-modern
nerve centre of Malaysia expands outwards to embrace the world.
Discovering KL(as local affectionately call it) is like travelling
through a time tunnel. Here, vivid traces of history continue to influence
and inspire a country set on becoming a fully industrialised nation by the
year 2020. You will see ultra-modern skyscrapers standing magnificently
next to rows and rows of quaint old shophouses. Haute cuisine beside
hawker stalls.
To the avid shopper,KL is paradise. From the world renowned designer
labels and brands to exquisite made in Malaysia items, the highly
competitive environment that exists among traders is a blessing in
disguise to shoppers. While department stores practise a fixed price
policy, bargain hunters can test their skills at smaller retail
establishment or at any one of KL's famous night markets. KL will
enthrall you. It will capture your heart and mind in a way no other
city will.
