What do Global Bloggers think of Kuala Lumpur (KL) - the capital city of Malaysia? I wanted to hear the truth... the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of KL. So, I created a simple survey to collect feedback from bloggers across the globe. "Why do you limit your survey among bloggers" you might ask. Well, bloggers are the untapped voice of the public. We the bloggers are the most suitable candidates to voice out the true nature of KL - without fear or favor.


I drafted my survey form and made numerous modifications before making it public. Basically, I created a short and simple 5 minutes survey form. This is the actual survey form hosted in Wufoo.com Please wait for it to load. It takes only seconds :) Scroll down the page to view bloggers feedback.




Next, I posted a thread in Lowyat forum (Under Blogmasters & Webmasters Forum) to get bloggers feedback. In addition, I sent out email invitations to renowned bloggers across the globe. The response has been good.

Before we look into blogger's feedback, let’s look at my own reply.


What I LIKE BEST About KL

I LOVE KL food, lush nature and skyscrapers. But, FOOD is my TOP 1 KL FAVOURITE. The crossroads of multiracial cuisine in KL is definitely a preferred place to 'makan' (translation: eat). Our 1Malaysian food is forever tasty and delicious!

Clockwise a) 'Lap Ngap' or Wax Duck in KL Chinatown - A delicacy enjoyed by many Malaysian Chinese at the Lunar New Year, b) Ketupat or Malay rice Dumpling in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman - It is usually eaten with rendang (curried meat) or served as a side dish to satay and c) Thosai in Brickfields - It is a typical dish in South Indian cuisine, eaten for breakfast or dinner, and is rich in carbohydrates and protein. All pictures were taken with my Nikon D60.


What I DISLIKE About KL

I DISLIKE KL inconsiderate drivers. Call it STUPID, INSANE or WHATEVER! Generally, Malaysians are a nice, kind and polite society. Unfortunately transformation takes place once they entered their car. Getting behind the wheel changes most people! I see rude drivers almost every day on our highway and trunk roads. It is fast becoming a trend.

Here are three examples of rude drivers in KL:

  1. Drivers tend to cut the queue dangerously whenever its possible and felt no remorse in doing so.
  2. Overtaking other drivers. They just seem too lazy to switch on their signals and cuts in abruptly without thinking of other people's safety.
  3. Crazy tailgaters


My Say About KL

In my humble opinion, KL can be a tourist paradise. We are far behind compared to Bangkok, Beijing and City of Singapore. Malaysian Ministry Of Culture, Arts And Tourism can do a better job by improving and innovating KL City instead of wasting millions of ringgit in marketing and advertising fees. Good news spread by word of mouth. Create more green lungs in the city and make KL a dynamic place for tourist. In addition, more effort is needed to lower down the crime rates in the city. Petty thefts like pickpockets and street thieves are scaring away potential tourists.

Now, let us take a look at some feedbacks I received from fellow bloggers across the globe. Only twenty-three feedbacks can be featured in this article. My sincere apology for not able to list down all submissions. Nevertheless, I gave full credits to all participants.

NOTE: The survey is now officially closed. This is the overall results obtained from 52 respondents. Last updated September 1st, 2011 (6:09 p.m.)

All of us shall look into these voices and make KL a better place to live, work and travel.
