Hell Ii will possibly me moving to Malaysia next year, and wanted some advice related to housing. What is a safe area to live?
Are there serviced apartments in Kuala Lumpur like in Hong Kong for expats?
Do they have a good public transport system?
Is Kuala lumpur a better place to live than Jakarta in Indonesia? I see a lot of negative news on Indonesia (flooding, cyclones, anti-christians attacks) and it concerns me, somif I could choose I would prefer Kuala Lumpur.

Thank you very much for your advice.

Hello Veronica17.

So as to make it more visible, your post has been moved to the Kuala Lumpur forum.

Do not hesitate to post your questions on the Jakarta forum.

Thank you,
Aurélie

KL is a better place to live than Jakarta. It's cleaner. n less crowded.

I understand your concern there are obviously pro and cons and every country. I think is ok to live in kl, since now is getting crowded, is better to live a little bit further from the city due to cleanliness. There are some good area in petaling jaya, sri kembangan and cheras to live. Not everywhere is dangerous in kl. However you need to be alert.
