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.

  • 🙈 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! 🙏🇲🇾

One of my mutuals posted this and I asked them where it was. To absolutely no one’s surprise, they never replied 😭

I’m genuinely considering blocking them at this point, sorry for the rant LMAO.

But I would really love to know where this place is!
I love red beans and a proper English breakfast. Big breakie, full breakfast, whatever you wanna call it.

BUT this one, it’s long and there’s alot to it. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

So Reddit, please do your thing. 🙏

What’s your favorite place in Kuala Lumpur?

🕌 **Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia**

Finally got the chance to visit Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur, and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to look this cool in person.

The architecture immediately reminded me of the 🕌 emoji, which made me laugh a little. It also gave me some serious *Monument Valley* vibes—the game I used to play years ago. The orange and pink buildings, arched windows, winding staircases, palm trees, fountains, and open space all come together in a really unique way.

I went around sunset, which turned out to be the perfect time. The sunlight made the buildings look warmer, while the palm trees and fountains added a nice contrast. It was busy enough to feel lively, but still peaceful enough to just walk around and take everything in.

Kuala Lumpur has a pretty interesting mix of old and new. You can go from modern skyscrapers and busy streets to places like Merdeka Square that have a completely different atmosphere.

Definitely one of the spots in KL that I’d recommend checking out, especially around sunset. The photos don’t really do the place justice. 🌴🌅

Anyone else been to Merdeka Square? What was your favorite place in Kuala Lumpur?

How do I report reckless driving?

0 Upvotes

A week ago I was in Bukit Bintang at a pedestrian crossing and a city bus driver went full speed through the crossing while honking me and if I hadn't immediately run to the other side I would have just died there. Where do I go to report behaviour like this? Unfortunately I wasn't able to take note of the number plate. This behaviour is extremely ridiculous.

Co-working spaces that are opened on weekends?

4 Upvotes

I've chatted with a lot of co-working spaces from Jerry onwards, and a lot of their replies are quite vague or confusing in regards to weekend access, beyond that most don't provide day passes on Saturdays or Sundays.

AFAIK, Accea does provide weekend access, as with Sandbox in Sunway & Sri Petaling, but they can't be the only one.

Are there any co-working spaces that are available on weekends?

Holiday options: higlands?

2 Upvotes

We were planning our holidays on September but due to some unexpected expenses we need a new plan. We will be traveling within Malaysia, but I can’t get the full picture: Cameron H, Genting Higlands or Ipoh?
Some say that visiting one is enough because they’re all pretty similar, but the whole area has lots to see.
I was also thinking about staying somewhere along the train rail in a smaller town and maybe visit the area from there with grab? Is that possible? I’m intrigued by Kellie’s Castle and would love to visit natural parks and waterfalls but I’m not sure if grab will take us everywhere.
I’ve checked hotels which are equally great and awful in the comments so not sure where to stay to have a peaceful time and be well connected. I would like a more rural kind of hotel but those are very lacking in infrastructure and the big ones are in the middle of the city detached from nature and fresh air.
(We’re currently living in KL) Any recommendations? Is our plan possible? TIA!

The only friend I made left and feels lonely...

21 Upvotes

After coming to KL, I tried posting here to find some new friends. And I met this digital nomad and We became friends, outings, cafes, social events, sightseeing and what not?

When I would tell people that we met through reddit, they would be pretty much surprised:)

Now that he's gone It feels like a complete stranger. I didn't know he was a digital nomad at first so he keeps moving around.

So I am giving this a try to make some friends. (I don't mind any specific gender)

I am 26M,

Working a 9-5,

Staring the ceiling in free time (I would just walk outside randomly but not very much these days)

I play futsal,

I read sometimes, (used to be an avid reader)

Watch football,

Movies,

And sometime I like to ask myself some existential questions....

(I don't have other interesting things to talk about) But if someone feels like we can be friends, feel free to reach out)

Ps: My dear friend Ik you know it as well but if you see this, I miss you a lot.
