Kuala Lumpur is a true melting pot and microcosm of the nation.

Roadside traders, market vendors and office workers, among others, all play their part in making Kuala Lumpur unique.

This sense of belonging among its residents, many of whom moved here from elsewhere, transcends background and occupation.

As the country’s capital, the city has an extensive road and public transportation network.

Kuala Lumpur is also a city that never sleeps, with night markets, food stalls, and watering holes offering plenty of diversions after dark.

During weekends, the pace slows down as its inhabitants enjoy the many open spaces and outdoor activities the city has to offer.
