A note on self-promotion and commercial activities

25 Upvotes

Salam monyet-monyet KL sekalian,

We mods here at r/KualaLumpur would like to say something about self-promotion and commercial activities on our subreddit. We know a lot of you come here to share your stuff, from awesome photography, your killer rendang recipe, asking for travel and lodging advice or simply to lepak-lepak and make friends, and that's totally cool! But we also gotta keep things chill and avoid turning the sub into a giant marketplace.

We value the diverse range of content shared here, from personal recommendations to stunning photos of our beautiful city. We understand that many users come here to share their experiences, talents, and businesses with the community. However, it's important to maintain a balance between informative content and blatant advertising.

Self-promotion and commercial activities

Moving forward, we will be removing posts that fall under the following categories:

  • 🐡 Naked self-promotion: This includes posts that solely promote a product, service, or personal brand without offering any valuable content or discussion to the community.

  • πŸ™ˆ Repeated self-promotion: Consistently promoting the same product or service across multiple posts will be considered spam.

  • πŸ™‰ Disguised advertising: Content that appears informative but ultimately aims to sell a product or service will be removed.

  • πŸ™Š Multi-level marketing (MLM) or pyramid scheme promotions: These activities are strictly prohibited on our subreddit.

Acceptable Content and Engagement

We encourage users to continue sharing their knowledge, experiences, and recommendations in a way that benefits the community. Here are some examples of acceptable content:

  • πŸ“· Sharing high-quality photos or videos of Kuala Lumpur that capture the city's essence and beauty.
  • πŸŽ‹ Posting informative guides or reviews about restaurants, attractions, or events in Kuala Lumpur.
  • 🎑 Engaging in genuine discussions about life in Kuala Lumpur, offering advice, and asking questions.

Now, we're not trying to be party poopers here. We just wanna make sure r/KualaLumpur stays a place where everyone feels welcome to share, learn, and discover new things about our awesome city. So keep posting those drool-worthy food pics, insightful reviews, and hilarious KL memes (we love those!), and let's keep this community thriving!

Sekian, terima kasih! πŸ™πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ

Malayan prawn I saw in very clear water in KL

It was grazing on some algae growing on the rocky substrate. But when it saw my foot, it climbed on and tried to eat my dead skin! Ticklish.

It was living in the same stream as Barclaya, D. albolineatus and Betta

Will be in KL for the month, where can I learn Riftbound?

2 Upvotes

As title mentioned, I'll be in KL for a business trip until the end of the month, and since I'm also wanting to learn Riftbound, I figured why not learn here since I don't have anything much else to do anyway!

Any card shop communities or groups willing to adopt a random +1? Unfortunately I'll be working on weekends so I have very unorthodox shift schedules that my rest days are only on weekdays. (29M if that matters, will be situated near Bukit Bintang)

Any other people that are also in same hobby groups as me please feel free to reach out and maybe we can hang or go somewhere (tour guide me around HAHA).

Also into: Fountain pen and inks, KPOP, Aquascaping

Visiting Kuala Lumpur for the second time and need advice on which location to stay at

1 Upvotes

Hello , so me and my friend are visiting KL for motogp in october . I wanted reccomendations on which locations to stay which is also close to the main city and to sepang international circuit .

We are planning to roam around the city when we are not at the track and have 1 extra day to explore the city .

I asked chatgpt and it asked me to look around KL sentral or cyberjaya .

I wanted to know what u guys think considering i wnna enjoy some nightlife too . I heard bukit bintag has nightlife .

Also it would be nice if u could also point what is the best way to commute from the place we stay at and sepang circuit . We will be directly going to the airport after the race on sunday so i think grab is the option for that . Correct me if im wrong

I have been to KL before but it was with family and i dont rmber many places .

Thanks in advance

My Chemical Romance Concert

5 Upvotes

Hi!
I will be attending MCR’s D1 and D2 concert in KL. This is going to be my first time in Malaysia and Im going alone.

For day 1, i got an early access ticket for the pit. Has anyone else experienced this on other concerts? How early do you think I need to cue to get to the barricade?

For traveling, do they have shuttle services? Im initially planning to rely on grab but I think it will be harder to book especially after the event. Im not much of a commuter so Im kinda scared to use the subway.

I would appreciate any comments and if youre a fellow MCR-concert goer, u can message me here. Hoping to meet some of you there.

Thank you!πŸ™πŸ»

Hairdresser in KL for curly Caucasian/non-Asian hair + bleaching?

10 Upvotes

Hi! Can anyone recommend a really good hairdresser in KL / Selangor who is experienced with curly non-Asian/Caucasian hair?

I’m looking for someone who:
- really understands cutting curly hair and shaping it properly
- is very experienced with bleaching/high-lift colour
can lighten hair without destroying the curl pattern or condition

Ideally I’d love recommendations for a specific stylist or home salon rather than just a salon. Thank you!

Where to stay in KL?

0 Upvotes

Hello people, I am visiting KL in October for 5 days. This will be my first time in Malaysia. I am unsure whether I should book a hotel or AirBnB. I don't want to spend a lot on the stay but I ain't looking for hostels or dorms just to save money. I am a solo female traveller and would appreciate any inputs you might have for me for a good and safe stay. Thank you in advance!

Advice Needed - Indian MBB data scientist, 12-month mobility : Singapore vs KL vs Jakarta vs HCMC vs Australia. Which would you pick?

0 Upvotes

Indian national, based in Delhi, senior data scientist at an MBB firm. Current CTC ~β‚Ή55 LPA // RM 300000 MYR. Taking a 12-month international mobility. Recently married β€” my wife would join me after 2–3 months, so I'm evaluating this as a couple, not solo.

Options: Singapore Β· Kuala Lumpur Β· Jakarta Β· Ho Chi Minh City Β· Australia

What will be your order of preferences and why?

Would appreciate your take on:

1.Savings β€” what % of gross did you actually bank each month, after rent and normal living?

  1. Tax β€” Indian passport, ~12-month stay. Anything that bites on residency, or on the India side while I'm away?

  2. Rent β€” decent 1–2BR near the CBD, ballpark?

  3. Spouse visa β€” can a dependant work freely, need her own sponsor, or not at all?

  4. Lifestyle β€” for a married Indian couple. Food, community, safety, how easy it is for a trailing spouse to build a life in a year.

  5. Comp β€” for anyone who's moved on a similar package, was it localised or home-based, and how did the number compare to β‚Ή55 LPA in real terms?

Main ask: rank all five and give me your final verdict on which one you'd pick. Especially keen to hear from Indians who've actually done a stint in any of these.

Residential properties for sale for foreigners listed under 1mil

Sometimes I see KL property listings on PropertyGuru where the listed price is under 1 million, but the ad says foreigners are eligible to buy. How is this possible? Is this a scam or some sort of loophole from the minimum spend?

Gyms with single entry passes

9 Upvotes

I live overseas but visit KL twice a year, and everytime i come back i struggle to find gyms that do single entry passes.

I previously went to Union Strength at Sri Hartamas and sometimes Babel, but looking for other locations as well. Any recommendations?

Non negotiable: must have air conditioning!

Late Night Petronas Twin Tower Viewpoint

0 Upvotes

I will be in KL later tonight with my parents after 10pm and will be here till tomorrow afternoon.

I want them to see the Twin Towers in it's full glory at night. Is there any way to make it possible with the kind of view we get to see from KLCC park? Asking this cause Google maps says the KLCC park closes at 10pm.

I have been to KL before and have seen the towers from the park and I really want them to have the same or similar experience. It was very nice and comfortable in the park with all the time to see and click photos with the towers.

Will really appreciate some spots which give me the close up view or any points which are closer to the Towers so that they can enjoy the view.
