James asks…
Kuala Lumpur?
My family & I will be in Kuala Lumpur end-November for a week’s holiday. Can anyone
suggest to me what places of interest to visit? This is my 2nd trip. My 1st trip was 3 years ago.
One more thing that I can’t figure out. Why taxi drivers some times don’t switch on their taxi
meters. If you take taxi from Sunway Pyramid, from Mines Shopping Fair to city centre, they ask
for RM50. I’m sure if you go by the meter, it wouldn’t be that much. Another thing, some taxi
are very reluctant to send us to the zoo. They said very far away. Surely that’s bad.

Hi. Just wondering, where are u from?
Im staying in KL, and yes, i agree with you about the taxis. THe problem is that there isnt a
governing body who regulates how they operate, ie whether or not they turn on their meters or
whether or not they discriminate among destinations.
But the sad truth is, these taxis, especially from those areas which you’ve mentioned will most
likely to have remained the same since your last visit. Places like sunway pyramid and the
mines are virtually “monopolised” by those groups of taxis.
One reason for this is the unavailability of other modes of transportation. For example, in the
1/6
2. Mines area, there are no buses, the KTM (train) station is quite far away, and also few taxis are
available.
Another reason is that some places like Sunway have their “premier” taxi stations which only
allow a certain groups of taxis to take customers from their shopping centres. For example,
these “premier” taxis will charge you RM 30 to get to the KL city. So the taxis which are
scrounging along the main streets (who are not premier taxis) will be asking for RM 25 because
they know you have no choice!
One way to overcome this is.. For example, if you were to go to Sunway again, instead of taking
a cab all the way back to KL, take a cab to the Kelana Jaya LRT station. From there, you can
either take the LRT to KLCC (the Petronas Twin Towers, where you can shop some more :p)
OR better still, take the free shuttle to One Utama shopping centre or to Ikano Power Centre,
where Ikea is!
Whereas for Mines, i have really no solution as that are is really lacking of other public
transportation. But one possible alternative is getting a cab to the Serdang KTM station. By
train, you can either go to KL Central, or to Midvalley Shopping Centre..
And one thing to just keep in mind is that you confirm with the taxi driver that he’s gona charge
according to the meter, OR if he’s not going to, at least come to an understanding as to how
much you will be paying BEFORE you even get into the taxi..
As for other places to visit, what about Aquaria? Its situated within the KLCC convention centre
itself, with lots of different kinds of sea creatures, as well as a tunnel within the pool which is
quite impressive.
Hope this helps, and more importantly, have a pleasant holiday!

3. What can we expect in Kuala Lumpur during the Ramadan
season?
Please help us in planning our trip in Kuala Lumpur since it’s our first time to go there this
coming week and I believe its already Ramadan. We’re not muslims but we’d like to spend our
vacation there in KL. Please give me some guidelines on food and places to go in this time of
year. Thanks!
Kaki Cuti Cuti Malaysia answers:
Salam and welcome to KL (Kuala Lumpur), don’t be unduely worried. Business as usual,
except Muslims are observing the fasting ritual from sunrise to sunset. You might want to join in
the fun along Jalan Masjid India and Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman (full of crowd, shopping,
shopping what else). The McD, KFC or A&W the fast food chains are always open as usual.
You could experience the local delicacies that you can get at bazaar Ramadan, ask your hotel
receptionist, they could point you to the nearset bazaar Ramadan which will normally sprung up
around 4 / 5 pm at many palaces in KL to cater for the Muslims to buy some food for their
breaking fast around 7 pm. Even some hotel do cater for the breaking fast for the muslims
(expensive though).
For tourist places of attraction still operate as usual and you will not miss anything eventhough it
is Ramadan while you are in KL. Hope this could enlighten you of what to expect during your
stay in KL and have a happy vacation. Good day.

Sandra asks…
What is the best way to tour in Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia?
Hi,
I will be visting Kuala Lumpur ( Malaysia ) and will be staying in Holiday Inn Glenmarie Hotel
and would like to visit Petronas twin towers , Batu Caves and any other recommended places.
Please suggest me the best way to visit these places in Kuala Lumpur. What will be the taxi
fares between my Hotel and Petronas twin tower and from Petronas Twin tower to Batu caves
and back. Do I keep same taxi for whole tour or hire separate taxis as I move from one place to
another, which will be economical. Is there any other places other than one which I have
mentioned above which are not to be missed while visting Kuala Lumpur.
Please suggest me. Thanks for your answer.
Kaki Cuti Cuti Malaysia answers:
Holiday Inn Glenmarie provides free shuttle service from the hotel to the KELANA JAYA LRT
station. (check with your hotel receptionist to make sure though)
5/6
6. Start out at the KELANA JAYA LRT station, take the LRT to the stop KLCC : Petronas Twin
Towers (it stops right under the shopping center part of the building – Suria KLCC).
From KLCC, take the same Putra Line LRT to Central Market, the stop is PASAR SENI. Check
out the nice stuff there, and don’t forget to bargain should you want to buy anything.
From PASAR SENI, take the same Putra Line LRT to TERMINAL PUTRA. From there, you can
take a cab to Batu Caves, not far at all.
Going back, you can either take a cab directly to the hotel(easier), or take the cab-LRT-cab
route back. I’d recommend a direct cab coz i bet you’d be beat from climbing all those steps up
Batu Caves.
Visit http://www.rapidkl.com.my for the LRT and Bus routes.
Your hotel receptionist should be able to help you in deciding routes.
Or, if all else fails, drop me a line and i’d be glad to help.
Enjoy your stay!
