Top 8 tallest buildings in Kuala Lumpur 1) Merdeka PNB 118 - 679 meters (second tallest building in the world) - 118 floor 2) The Exchange TRX 106 - 454 meters ( World's Largest Rooftop Park and 19th tallest building in the world ) - 106 floor 3) Pertronas Twin Towers - 452 meters ( 21th and 22th tallest building in the world and also Tallest Twin Towers in the world) - 88 floor 4) KL tower - 421 meters 5) Oxley Tower - 346 meters 6) Four Seasons Hotel - 343 meters 7) Menara Telekom TM Tower - 310 meters 8) 8 Conlay KL - 308 meters
I recommend you to go visit Kampung Baru, that is the place you can learn about traditional Malay houses that still preserved in the heart of Kuala Lumpur
Yeah basically the same experience I had in KL. Not only does it have everything you mentioned, it also has incredibly affordable health care that is way faster than any western country. The food is absolutely insane. Even their McDonalds shits on the west entirely. Trust me! I've had McDonalds in like 15 countries and nothing but MAYBE thailand can compare to Malaysia's :D
The food in KL bro, unreal! I didn’t try the McDonald’s but next time I’ll put that on the list haha! Thailand McDonald’s is V GOOD too, I can agree there 🫡
@@torrelina2308 Haha yeah penang is actually even better than KL's food in my experience! The food there blew me away. I've been to a lottt of countries and I can honestly say it's probably the #1 country next to Shanghai in China. But if you have a western palate like myself --- then Penang is probably even more to your liking
Another good one buddy. I think you will need to head back at a later date for a deeper dive. My last time in KL was in 2005 and the change is very noticeable. There is an small island off the east coast called Tioman that was a good adventure at the time that you might try.
@@americaninchina4853 thanks mate, I’ll try that next time, would like to have more time in Malaysia and travel around. I saw a time lapse of the city in the past 20-30 years and the development has been crazy!
You can walk in any parts of Malaysia and be 99% safe especially if you're male. There won't be any hoodies jumping on you like in the UK or NY. Some places in the city may appear dinghy, but it's pretty safe any time of the day. For women, it's still quite safe (not as safe as Spore or Japan), but need to be mindful of time and places. If you happen to come again, make use of the Grab. Taxis can be 'iffy' with their integrity. Malaysians had a love hate relationship with the local taxi drivers, Grab was considered godsend 😊
Thanks for the info! To confirm what you said re the taxis, we paid 7x less on grab than we were quoted in person for the same journey. I look forward to exploring more next time, I never felt remotely unsafe wherever I was🙌🏻
Bro.... KL is a stinking brown shit hole..... the alleyways are freaking disgusting~ Vomiiiitttt.. and to be surrounded by ugly AF Banglas.... what a shit hole man....
Been there many times. My Thai wife loves Malaysia (as I). KL is fantastic nice. People extremely friendly.We would have relocated if it was not for our sit. in TH currently not make it an option but we see.
Josh, your capture is great, and I like it. You managed to show KL's flaws perfectly. Depending on your camera's standpoint, it can be quite stunning. I hope you enjoy your stay in Malaysia.
If I'm not mistaken, the food, the rice with curry lamb shank and fried chicken that you guys had in the KL Pavilion food court is called 'nasi kandar'. It's quite a popular comfort food especially in KL and Georgetown, Penang. It's the food culture of Mamak, the Indian Muslim community in Malaysia.
Do comeback again to explore Genting Highland, the temperature there is about 18 degrees everyday and is just an hour plus drive up the mountain. Kl doesn’t have hanging wire everywhere like Bangkok do.
If you pay attention to the traffic situation in Kuala Lumpur. As long as you avoid the peak hours, traffic is usually pretty smooth and bearable. You just need to get familiarise with the traffic hours in Malaysia in general to cut down on your travel time. 😊
The late morning seemed to be much better than the afternoon and evening? I wasn’t there long enough to suss it out. Thanks for the comment and extra info 👍🏻
@@josh.onthemovepeak hours in KL Malaysia Time (weekdays edition) : 7-9am : Go for work & send kids to school. 12-2pm : lunch hours + school kids transition time (bearable traffics). 4-6pm : after work & pickup school kids. 7.30-8.30 : night out (bearable traffics) Weekend edition/non festive public holidays : ‘Outdoor life’ starts after 12pm & becomes super crowded at night compared weekdays (bearable traffics from 12pm-5pm). Festive public holidays: No city life (due to ‘return to villages’ culture). Most local vendors might closed except mall tenants/global franchise
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia . Seems also a good digital Nomad lifestyle destination . Pretty much foreigners prefer Kuala Lumpur low cost of living and visa for Nomads
@@Kushal6831 definitely seems like a viable option. I’ve only touched base there so it would be impossible for me to talk about long terms feels of the place but first impressions were nice!
My euro friends was dumbfounded after being in the busy mall and an hour later I brought them into a rainforest, real one and not the city park type. We even got lost but managed to get out right before dark.
Bro.... What u "see" is what u "get".... depends u're "looking" for what.... nothing perfect for everything.... "know Malaysia is to love Malaysia"...pls don't hesitate to come again
Malls are popular in Malaysia or southeast Asia due to the tropical humid weather where everyone can conveniently hide in a nearby air conditioned mall while getting entertained with food, cinema, browsing products or simply just mall walking
You can explore out of the city centre to experience more of KL. Theres lush greenery of the botanical gardens with many attractions such as Bird Park & Islamic Civilization Museum. We have waterfalls around the outskirts of the city, just a short 30-mins drive you can find cascading wasterfalls within jungle. A short MRT/LRT ride will get you to the suburbs such as Kajang, famous for its satay...or Kepong where the vibe suddenly change..or Damansara & Petaling Jaya. Just an hour away is the administrative centre of Putrajaya with a totally different vibe.
Josh another great video. Good on you for pronouncing Kuala Lumpur correctly as my Malay pal always made me laugh when he said it’s like umpah loompah like Charlie and the chocolate factory. Try Penang island if you get the chance too. Delightful people in Malaysia and the only downside is that the party side is a little conservative but hey that’s understandable in a Muslim country but the people truly make up for it! Keep em coming Josh!
Malaysia is a laid back and chill country.. Kuala Lumpur is a city of contrast and a city that never sleeps.. Malaysia is a developing country so should not have to compare with Singapore or any place in the west 😅 The MERDEKA 118 is still on finishing up for public visiting.. PETRONAS Twin Towers have been the tallest twin towers in the world since 1998.. Hope you will come back again to venture and dig up Malaysian hidden gems and diversity 🇲🇾😊
KL authority need to do more about walkways and pavements.. the cracks and shoddy patch up is embarrassing.. beautiful old building need to be restored and put to use now.. Malaysian reading this.. please do something.. plead to your authority.. saved them.. now..
Bars concentrated in the suburban areas that have the most ex-pat....in kl city centre proper there will b in changkat bukit bintang, trec kl, and a few dotted along jln ampang....but there are several areas that r also main party scene like bangsar, mont kiara, uptoen damansara (sec14/16?)and in Subang Jaya (Sunway) too...
Singapore was part of Malaysia from 1963-1965 and prior to that many people migrated back and forth from Singapore and Malaya. So it is only natural that Malaysia is more like Singapore than Bagkok or Hanoi. Also in case you didn't know, Proton is Malaysian car. That's why you see so many Proton cars in Malaysia.
@@josh.onthemove Haha. I am actually surprised that you even know the existence of Proton. 😅. It is a flop outside of Malaysia and can only survive and kinda thrive in Malaysia due to high import duty of foreign car brands.
Welcome to Malaysia.Glad you have enjoy yr trip to KL Malaysia.Hope for your next visit you can visit other attraction like Genting Highland, Penang, langkawi, melaka,Ipoh,Sarawak and Sabah of east Malaysia located at Borneo island.Cheers.
It’s good to see your drinking water with your meals instead of soda , I’m 60 , worked out my entire life but the one bad habit I had was I’d drink on average two 12 oz diet cokes a day. About a year ago my stomach started to get hard as a rock ( not from doing sit-ups ) ..it was a bit distended and I was starting to think I had stomach cancer . Long story shot I stopped drinking soda cold turkey and switched over to only to drinking water,…within a week or two that did the trick,.. my stomach went back to normal ( there’s no doubt in my mind it was from the soda, and you’ll never see me drink soda again )
@@johnmellyn2700 water or beer, nothing inbetween for me John! Thanks for the comment, I’ve always thought the fizzy drinks long term can’t be good and it’s interesting to hear you confirm that. Glad you’re better now 👊🏻
Many old shops in KL are privately owned and difficult for the owners to release for development if it is demolished and built, KL will be a great city
As much we appreciate foreigners can adapt our diversity ... that much also we will appreciate foreigners could adapt the pronunciation of things in malaysian lingo. I.e : Kuala Lumpur = koo are lar Loom poorr. Roti canai = row tea char ni. Nasi lemak = nar see luh mark. Here the pronunciation for: A is are. O is owe U is oo E is uh I is ee. Our tounge is adjustable to shape in pronouncing foreign language but it jitters me when the foreigners ignoring the local lingo eventhough they spent so much days weeks months or even years in Malaysia. Sigh😩. Anyway enjoy your stay in Malaysia. Malaysia is not about just Kuala Lumpur but we are peninsular n east Malaysia of Borneo Island. Need more than 1month to explore Malaysia. Stay safe
Try to get used your right hand for spoon n left hand for fork like locals. Spoon is the main player n fork as the assistant. You'll get surprised how sooo practical it is to be that way. No matter what type of cuisine you get. The most practical for us is our 5 finggers to eat. Hehe 😊
Thanks for the comment. To be honest I found that so many people spoke English that it didn’t cross my mind in that short space of time to learn any of the language 👍🏻
When you mentioned that there is a lot of Proton Cars in Malaysia, you made it sounds Like Proton was producing in other country. Proton is Malaysian based car producing company. The words proton comes from "perusahaan otomobil Nasional. Or literally translate to the National automobil company.and awek have the second automobil company called Perodua. Dua means second.
@@josh.onthemove Yes, Proton had been export globally, you Can also pay a visit t Proton place to learn more about it.maybe to proton's factory or proton's sales office.
@@josh.onthemove 48 hours in Malaysia are not enough, maybe you Can plan a road trip around Malaysia for Like 2 months.there are lots for you to see and lots that we Can offer.
Get yourself over to Bangsar Telawi, very different area from KLCC and much more low rise. Can take LRT or Grab. Also check out Lake Garden for a nice morning walk
@@josh.onthemoveFYI… KL & Penang. some foreigners also go to other states fr medical & healthcare purposes…. Johor, Melaka & Sabah. u can check it out 😊
Hai... I'm Malaysian and I would advise for a solo traveller loke you, it's easier, faster and cheaper to take the train to go around the city area.... Taxi or Grab will make you stuck in traffic.... That's cannot be avoid...
Don't look at the building conditions, it look old but those building smack down in KL are expensive. The owners is just waiting for the highest bidder and suddenly something else pop out.
@@josh.onthemove every back alley in malaysia is like that, we are not serious about cleaning it. because people don't pass that area. we only take care of the area that people pass by.
@@josh.onthemoveIt must be from the UK that's why you knows protons..but unfortunately you doesn't know that protons are malaysian cars..Actually all around you are proton cars but you don't know because it's possible that protons aren't marketed in the UK anymore..that's why you don't know the new release from protons..and you noticeable accent is Uk
@@josh.onthemove living on floor 40th of a condo is now a normal experience here. By 2035, the number of skyscrapers (30 storeys and higher) will double throughout the country. I estimate this based on the current trajectory and development plans.
@@josh.onthemove Yes it is. There are 2 things we have in excess of on a Per Capita Basis. 1. Cars and 2. Skyscrapers. We have the most number of highways and expressways in Southeast Asia. And the 2nd most complex highway system after China in the world. That's why it feels very different ftom other Southeast Asian countries. Even the small towns are not really rural. Only in Borneo and some places where its less dense would you feel rural. Otherwise you can relatively find anything from anywhere in the world. My wife is from Sabah on Borneo Island so I travel there often. And I own a condo/apartment there with a Toyota Hilux as the roads there are not that good once outside the towns. Therefore, I see the contrast of the whole country.
Malaysia is the most skyscrapers city in Southeastasia,,, with around 250 skyscrapers,, Jakarta 150 skyscrapers, Bangkok 100 skyscrapers, Singapore 98 skyscrapers..... only a few skyscrapers city on earth.....and mostly in china, Malaysia top 8 of skyscrapers city in the world
@@TheEpicLegend if you want to stay in one place for 2-3 months, Facebook marketplace is a good option. If you want just a month in each place, try Airbnb and put in dates that are over 28 days and you’ll get a monthly discount 👍🏻
Welcome to KL. You're on the touristy part of the city there. 2:31 - That's Changkat Bukit Bintang and yes, Malaysia is about 65% muslim-majority mostly concentrated in the peninsula. If you head over to the Malaysian part of Borneo specifically Sarawak, alcohol is easier to find because it is the only non-muslim part of Malaysia. Sarawak is proud of their rice wine traditions... has also her own beer called 1602. 4:41 - Ah! That shop. I swore never to set foot in their eatery. When they first open the shop, someone complained about one of their staff wearing a necklace with a small cross. Instead of standing by their staff or explaining, they simply fire the poor fellow. Take note that it was some idiots making a stupid fuss when there is no restrictions on the religion of staff of a restaurant hired. I don't care if "their stuff is good" as you said.
Thanks for the comment. There’s plenty of the country I want to visit and explore next time. That place on the corner was so good, shame you’ve not tried it before but I get your reasons and respect the integrity
48 hours in center of KL does not grasp the real atmosphere of Malaysia. Next time spend at least few weeks here, explore the outskirt of KL, or better visit other states outside KL.
Stop it , dont make me mouthwatering ?. Dont you have mercy ?. You like it, torturing People, dont you ?. Anyway, another great Place to discover, thanks for sharing. Have a good Time there.😊
It was expensive everywhere I went in the city in comparison to other parts of SEA, I mentioned this in the video, I didn’t spend my whole time in Petaling street 😅👍🏻
They are envy of Malaysia. Malay + Bangladesh becomes whatever they wrote. We are in the process of sending back 7 Millions Indonesian workers (legal or illegally) @@josh.onthemove

To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia cause Malaysia is Truly Asia...👍❣
They have the best mall designers in the world. You won't find anything as near KL malls, not even in Singapore.
It seemed that way, never been in so many malls in such a short space of time!

Yeah basically the same experience I had in KL. Not only does it have everything you mentioned, it also has incredibly affordable health care that is way faster than any western country.

The words proton comes from "perusahaan otomobil Nasional. Or literally translate to the National automobil company.and awek have the second automobil company called Perodua. Dua means second.
I’ve seen protons in other countries, very rarely tho. I never knew they were from Malaysia!
@@josh.onthemove Yes, Proton had been export globally, you Can also pay a visit t Proton place to learn more about it.maybe to proton's factory or proton's sales office.
@@josh.onthemove 48 hours in Malaysia are not enough, maybe you Can plan a road trip around Malaysia for Like 2 months.there are lots for you to see and lots that we Can offer.
@@AidawatiRamly I'd like to that at some point, this trip it wasn't possible
Get yourself over to Bangsar Telawi, very different area from KLCC and much more low rise. Can take LRT or Grab. Also check out Lake Garden for a nice morning walk
Thanks will do
the reason that things is more expensive in malaysia compare to vietnam, and bangkok because of we have strong currency between them,
enjoy your self sir welcome to malaysia
Thanks! 😃
Could defo see you enjoyed the lamb shank, bruv 🤣. Thanks for another dope vid
@@almxce haha if I was there for longer that would be a daily occurrence. Thanks mate 👊🏻
Some came just for medical purposes. Affordable and high class medical facilities.
That’s interesting to know. I’d not heard of KL being a location for that before 👍🏻
@@josh.onthemoveFYI… KL & Penang.
some foreigners also go to other states fr medical & healthcare purposes…. Johor, Melaka & Sabah.
u can check it out 😊
Whatever it is Malaysia is the best . Foreigners make Malaysia their second home . I have travelled elsewhere but for me home is still Malaysia . ❤
Enjoy our Lovely Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thanks!
Nice interesting informative video thank you 🎉
Thanks 👊🏻
Proton is Malaysian...made in Malaysia...obviously you will find them on every corner...Welcome to Malaysia...😊
I now know this haha, thanks! :)
Hai... I'm Malaysian and I would advise for a solo traveller loke you, it's easier, faster and cheaper to take the train to go around the city area.... Taxi or Grab will make you stuck in traffic.... That's cannot be avoid...
Thanks for the advice!
You entered the Kampung Baru...a village😂
Explain what this means haha I'm new to KL!
the last remaining Malay village smacked in the center of KL .. these very high demand lands are worth millions but the residents refuse to move away
Don't look at the building conditions, it look old but those building smack down in KL are expensive. The owners is just waiting for the highest bidder and suddenly something else pop out.
Hi..welcome you to Malaysia
Thank you 🙏🏻
And you have to try the beef rendang curry too.
@@MJP1970 that alone is a reason for me to go back 😉
looks like a getto area where he is walking.
Haha it looked like it tbh but it didn’t feel like it
@@josh.onthemove every back alley in malaysia is like that, we are not serious about cleaning it.
because people don't pass that area. we only take care of the area that people pass by.
Welcome to Malaysia..
Thank you!
@2:36, that vw golf must be towed for parking at yellow line.
KL it’s a food heaven sir
It sure is 🫡👌🏻
Welcome mate, i supposed you are from Australia.
Thanks! I'm from the Uk
@@josh.onthemoveIt must be from the UK that's why you knows protons..but unfortunately you doesn't know that protons are malaysian cars..Actually all around you are proton cars but you don't know because it's possible that protons aren't marketed in the UK anymore..that's why you don't know the new release from protons..and you noticeable accent is Uk
the chinese beef roti looks like a turkish burek
It tastes super similar too, it came to my mind when eating it. This was crispier on the outside tho 👍🏻
Malaysia is number 4 in the world for skyscrapers after China, USA and UAE.
You can tell when you're there!
@@josh.onthemove living on floor 40th of a condo is now a normal experience here. By 2035, the number of skyscrapers (30 storeys and higher) will double throughout the country.
I estimate this based on the current trajectory and development plans.
@@arii1987 that’s crazy numbers, I personally wouldn’t like to live that high up but the views up that high are insane!
@@josh.onthemove Yes it is. There are 2 things we have in excess of on a Per Capita Basis. 1. Cars and 2. Skyscrapers.
We have the most number of highways and expressways in Southeast Asia. And the 2nd most complex highway system after China in the world.
That's why it feels very different ftom other Southeast Asian countries. Even the small towns are not really rural. Only in Borneo and some places where its less dense would you feel rural.
Otherwise you can relatively find anything from anywhere in the world.
My wife is from Sabah on Borneo Island so I travel there often. And I own a condo/apartment there with a Toyota Hilux as the roads there are not that good once outside the towns.
Therefore, I see the contrast of the whole country.
Enjoy KL
Thank you 🙌🏻
Come back again bro..#loveaus
I plan to, thanks!
Malaysia is the most skyscrapers city in Southeastasia,,, with around 250 skyscrapers,, Jakarta 150 skyscrapers, Bangkok 100 skyscrapers, Singapore 98 skyscrapers..... only a few skyscrapers city on earth.....and mostly in china, Malaysia top 8 of skyscrapers city in the world
malaysian loves malls. reason : free air conditioner 😆
Haha it makes sense now 😅
Not all people you met were Malaysian.
Everyone I met was in Kuala Lumpur
How about KL's greenery compared to other SEA city that you've visited?
Tbh I wasn’t there long enough to say for sure but from the investigating I’ve done, the surrounding areas had a lot of nature and greenery 👍🏻
I’m going to Thailand in 3 weeks, I want to get an apartment out there for a couple months. What’s the best way to get one? Thanks
@@TheEpicLegend if you want to stay in one place for 2-3 months, Facebook marketplace is a good option. If you want just a month in each place, try Airbnb and put in dates that are over 28 days and you’ll get a monthly discount 👍🏻
@@josh.onthemove thank you. Willdo
The name of the song at the end if the video please😊
Cactus flower - southern call 😎
@@josh.onthemove nice. It will be on my playlist. Thanks
@@Dmax76-w9s It's on mine too haha
I love that song too.
0:21 mostly foreign workers from Bangladesh lived here..
Oh really?
@@josh.onthemoveyes, if you not believe please come to this area at night and you see a lot of them walking on the street
@@josh.onthemovethats a typical back alley in Malaysia.
Welcome to KL. You're on the touristy part of the city there. 2:31 - That's Changkat Bukit Bintang and yes, Malaysia is about 65% muslim-majority mostly concentrated in the peninsula. If you head over to the Malaysian part of Borneo specifically Sarawak, alcohol is easier to find because it is the only non-muslim part of Malaysia. Sarawak is proud of their rice wine traditions... has also her own beer called 1602.
4:41 - Ah! That shop. I swore never to set foot in their eatery. When they first open the shop, someone complained about one of their staff wearing a necklace with a small cross. Instead of standing by their staff or explaining, they simply fire the poor fellow. Take note that it was some idiots making a stupid fuss when there is no restrictions on the religion of staff of a restaurant hired. I don't care if "their stuff is good" as you said.
Thanks for the comment. There’s plenty of the country I want to visit and explore next time. That place on the corner was so good, shame you’ve not tried it before but I get your reasons and respect the integrity
How old are you, sir?
It could be lamb rendang
Whatever it was, it was amazing haha 😝
😂😂😂😂 imagine i walk around New York city especially in the subway.or walking around in london without getting stab😂
I don’t understand what you’re saying?
🥰
😎
If Surprised than LEAVE!
Lol you’d be fun at a surprise birthday party. Why leave if you’re surprised? Why so hostile? Have a good day 😎
48 hours in center of KL does not grasp the real atmosphere of Malaysia. Next time spend at least few weeks here, explore the outskirt of KL, or better visit other states outside KL.
For sure, it’s a taste of what KL was like in a short space of time 👍🏻
Way u talkin sounds like them commentators on Football matches josh 🤭
Haha thanks, ESPN can contact me whenever
Singapore is cheaper 4usd for one bun, like in Londong
A bun? Like a roll or sandwich?
@6:15 well hello there handsome
Haha
Stop it , dont make me mouthwatering ?. Dont you have mercy ?. You like it, torturing People, dont you ?. Anyway, another great Place to discover, thanks for sharing. Have a good Time there.😊
@@ThomasBauch-d6q haha it’s not everyday you have food that good. You’ve got to share it with the world 🤣. Thanks for the comment mate!
@@josh.onthemove You absolute right.😉
Welcome to banglasia❤
Thanks 🙌🏻

Hello babunesia, cook me some foods please! and after that you can clean my toilet😊
WOWWW Kuala mumbai😂
NO wonder it!s expensive U went to Petaling St. Local call it rip off street run by illegal migrant
It was expensive everywhere I went in the city in comparison to other parts of SEA, I mentioned this in the video, I didn’t spend my whole time in Petaling street 😅👍🏻
Klu ini bukan malasia ini mini daka malaydes
I don’t understand this msg?
@@josh.onthemoveit just complain there are too many bangladesh wokers in our country
Bodo amat. Iri bilang😅
@@josh.onthemoveits an Indonesian troll mocking Malaysia as Malaydesh, implying its overun with Bangladeshis.
Ignore them
No its Hindunesial 😂
Malaydesh is the best...TAHNIAH!
Thanks, seems like a great place from first impressions!
Typical haters from Indonesia. Jealous of Malaysia development.
They are envy of Malaysia. Malay + Bangladesh becomes whatever they wrote. We are in the process of sending back 7 Millions Indonesian workers (legal or illegally) @@josh.onthemove
@@helmiyusof9558 What? I said Malaydesh is best among the best! Is that wrong?
Actually you praise Malaysia.Because Malaysia make two country-Indonesia+Bangladesh close.More beautiful children(mix Indonesia+Bangladesh) in future.
Come to Sabah👌Semporna islands 👍best beaches in the world n world dives paradise
