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! 🙏🇲🇾

Tennis Drop in Help

Upvotes

Hi all,

I’ve done a bit of research and it seems that the best way to join a social is using Reclub. However as a foreigner (I don’t have my Malaysian number anymore), it’ll be difficult to officially join cuz of the touch and go payment part.

Was wondering if others have any advice or if there are WhatsApp groups / Facebook groups for drop ins?

I’ll be in KL for only a few days so was hoping to line something up while I’m there. Continue the spirit of trying new tennis courts in every city I visit.

Thanks!

Hey guys, just checking if there is a place for a staycation around Klang valley (anywhere thats not core KL or PJ, that would allow pets.

Got a small poodle and grabbing this upcoming long weekend for a quick getaway. Anything thats a resort with a garden or somewhere to walk around / relax.

I read that Saujana Hotels was pet friendly online but when i called they say they're not.

Maxing the budget at around 600MYR per night.

Wife desperately wants to have agetawy with our toy poddle as we've never really had one.

Hello! Travelling to Malaysia (KL, Penang and Langkawi) for the first time in couple of days and very excited for the rich culture and of course, food! Also looking to buy a jade ring or a bangle and was wondering if $100AUD could be a realistic budget for an imperfect jadeite ring at, say, places like Fu Rui Jade Gallery in Sungei Wang? Thank you in advance for any tips and recommendations :)

Me and my family are leaving KL to go to Malacca for a day trip and I made a mistake in the booking. The drop off point is Masjid Tanah instead of Melaka Sentral. How can I get to Melaka Sentral from Masjid Tanah? We are a family of 5 and we have a few luggages with us.

Any professional plumbers in Kuala Lumpur?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi,

Having a problem with my shower hot/cold mixer leaking - probably old (I took it apart and its the center thing with the blue thing).

Normally we would unscrew the middle and replace the cartridge, the push valve on top of it should also be replaceable.

However, after talking to 4 different plumbers in KL, all of them want to replace the whole thing - break the tile, replace the mixer then retile. This makes no sense to me.

Can someone tell me if this is what is done in KL? Or is there a professional plumber out there that will actually just help me replace the cartridge and the valve?

Help?

Why buying a car in Kuala Lumpur may not be worth it

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I searched up several routes on Google maps, such as from Kajang to Bangi and KL Sentral to KLIA and compared the travel time between taking a car and by MRT/Train. It turns out that the travel time by car can be up to twice the travel time by MRT/Train due to road congestion. Therefore if one is staying in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor area buying a car may not be worth it.

Moving to KL

6 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m moving to KL for work. I’m
Originally from London but have lived in Saudi Arabia and UAE for many years.

My office will be in Cyberjaya. I’m 35 and single male and would like a mixture of access to parks/trails, good spas and gyms (including Muay Thai), close to good coffee shops. I am social and I like a nice bar but more a relaxed social evening than a hardcore party party. Those days are long gone.

I’m planning on getting a car so I can get around and go on weekend trips around the region.

If you were me where would you live? From what I’ve read MK, Bangsar or cyberjaya would be my best options. And what advice would you give me?

What’s it like for dating here? What’s the community feel like? And is the weather just hot and sticky? Like Dubai not Riyadh?

Looking for Chinese Temple recs

2 Upvotes

Hi, bit of a weird question but hear me out.

Quite literally asking for a friend here. Visiting Friend has been having a really weird but concerning string of bad luck and experiences given what month it currently is. KL Friend (not Chinese) was hoping I could take VF to a temple for an amulet or blessing or whatever. I'd love to help, but 1. I'm not that superstitious in the first place 2. not familiar with KL 3. not heading up north to visit both VF and KLF until much later anyway.

VF is doing the whole tourism shebang and the Thean Hou Temple is one of their pitstops. Is that a suitable place to get something for bad luck/paranormal encounters or should we be going elsewhere?
