How are Pudu and Bukit Bintang?

Post new topic

Rehes

Hello!


I’m looking at some apartments in Pudu (continew and the Robertson) and even Bukit Bintang (Fairlane residences) and while they all seem really nice and all I’m wondering if they’re safe places to live for a woman?

Those are somewhat sketchy areas with quite a reputation for prostitution. That said, I think all areas of KL are safer than most European big cities at night. Bukit Bintang has a lot of tourist traffic at all times, Pudu does not.

I was offered a lot of prostitutes of all 3 genders (probably more now) whilst shopping in Bukit Bintang.

Nighttime sees a wide variety of drunks and a lot of terrific street food.


I'm unsure a lady alone would be safe at night.

Thank you for telling me this!

I’ll look at other locations and areas then!
