- KL is a Muslim population with 80% of Indian ancestry...but the ethnic Chinese hold control 80% of the economy!
- Toilets are quite filthy, with bidets on the side and no toilet paper or soap (just water)
- Malays do not use knives, only fork and spoon. But most eat with their hands
- KL is quite small - and their trains run very slow and come less frequently
- Malays treat tourists nicer than Hong Kongers
