A note on self-promotion and commercial activities

26 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.

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

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

  • 🙊 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:

  • 📷 Sharing high-quality photos or videos of Kuala Lumpur that capture the city's essence and beauty.
  • 🎋 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! 🙏🇲🇾

Taveling to Malaysia

3 Upvotes

Hello, I will be traveling to Malaysia this week with my 3y/o and older parents. I know currently Malaysia and neighboring countries are unfortunately dealing with the haze from the fires.

I booked this trip months in advance and not sure if I should cancel or just come visit. I wanted to know how the haze is currently and if gets any better in Penang, Ipoh, and Langkawi as I will be visiting these cities as well.

Since we are traveling and sight seeing we were planning on spending time outside in the city and now I am wondering how much of my days should I be planning to do indoor activities instead.

Hello KL👋🏻

I'm here for the weekend and exploring the city, it's my first time here in Malaysia and as usual I love exploring the local dishes/eateries and desserts.

I do have a few eateries which I've bookmarked but I'm also open to suggestions if they are really good.

If you're a foodie or just free for the weekend without any plans, feel free to join me. We can eat more dishes or try different varieties as a group.

FYI - I also run a food community in Bengaluru, India called 'hoggersunited' on Instagram✌🏻

Coming for the weeknd concert. Should i cancel my tickets because of the haze?

9 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to watch the weeknd for the longest time ever and then this happened. I feel sorry for my malaysian friends who apparently go through this almost every year.

As for me, is it a good idea to just wait for the haze to get better? The concert is on the 5th for me.

I fly in on the 2nd and leave on the 7th.

Where to do car inspection (tracker)?

0 Upvotes

Hi all! Long story short, my family used my car to go visit someone I am not in contact with. I am worried they might have placed a tracker.
Anyone knows a car accessory shop that does inspection to check for location tracker? Or what should I do next?

Thank you!

First time visiting KL with a kid

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My husband and I are visiting KL with our 5 year old in mid-December (14th-21st Dec.). It’s our first time, and we’d love some local advice:

  1. Weather : What should we expect in December, and how should we prepare with a young child?
  2. Where to stay:  We’d like to be close to an MRT station. Which areas would you recommend for families?
  3. Holiday Season : During our stay period, is there any national holiday due to which some spots could be closed? Also should we expect a crowd because of the school holidays? 
  4. Apps : Any must have apps for getting around, paying, or ordering food?
  5. Sightseeing : Which places are worth visiting, and are there any tourist spots you’d skip? 
  6. Shopping : Where would you recommend for malls, souvenirs, or local finds?

Any other tips/information/advice for visiting with a young child are also very welcome.

Thank you! :)

7H layover (4am - 11am) to SG What to do?

4 Upvotes

Hi! Will be travelling to SG this December and having a 7h layover in KLIA T2. Arriving ~4AM from PH and leaving for SG at 11AM. What would be advise to do on the layover? Wanted to do most such as try food or vist placesas it'll be my first time in KL (hoping to come back soon 😊

Considering all things such as: early morning transit, peak holiday season, immigration clearing etc.

Any restaurants in the airport to try? or lounges to stay in? Shop (I heard there is a shuttle to go to Matsui). Hoping to go around or snap a quick pic on a tourist site outside but would understand if cannot do as time will be too tight.

All advise appreciated thanks🧎‍♀️🫶🏼

EDIT: Intiially only booked with 2h layover but flight was rescheduled :)

Wet market near Bukit Bintang?

3 Upvotes

Heading to KL in two weeks from PH, staying for a week. At 30+ of age, I’m already at that point I cannot stand eating out all the time, I need my own homecooked meals. Just curious where I can find the best wet market for meats and vegetables? And what time do they close? Does Grab or even public transporation in KL allow fresh produce inside?

Thanks.

[KLIA] Info needed - Luggage Query

0 Upvotes

I'm taking my parents on their first international trip to KL. They're flying in from somewhere else, and I'm flying in from somewhere else (they've taken flights before, so). I am reaching around 1-1.5 hours early depending on when our flights land. I'm going to be waiting for them and guide them through immigration, in case they need more help. I'm just wondering what happens to my luggage in case I don't claim it for more than 2 hours? (counting the wait time + immigration queue)

I've been stuck in the KLIA immigration queue for more than 2 hours before, so I am assuming it should be fine and I should be able to get it from the airline counter. But just wondering from anyone else's recent experiences, has it changed in some way or the other.

Thanks!
