A note on self-promotion and commercial activities

26 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! 🙏🇲🇾

Where to take my wife for an anniversary dinner?

• Upvotes

We’re visiting KL now for a month and I’d like to take her somewhere nice for our wedding anniversary dinner. I was thinking a nice quiet rooftop dinner since we haven’t done that yet.

Any particular suggestions? It doesn’t have to be super expensive or suit-and-tie, peaceful and scenic with a nice meal would be ideal. Also open to other suggestions as we are new to KL so I’m sure better things exist than just dinner. Thank you! 🙏

Is it worth it to try for driving license now? I am flying abroad for university next April.

2 Upvotes

I thought I wanted to get my driving license since I delayed it for so long already. But now is October 28 and I’m gonna be gone by April 1 next year.

Summore I have classes from Jan to March, and I don’t want the JPJ to interrupt my class.

Is it possible to get license in KL by December, or a bit risky? I’m told the time is short already, should’ve gotten it when I was 17 haiya

Working In KL

5 Upvotes

This is probably a common post, and I apologize if so. I did do some searches and didn't find exactly the kind of info I'm looking for.

I'm a senior level software engineer at a large US company. I spent a month working in KL earlier this year and decided I really want to try being there longer, like a year or two, or more?

Unfortunately my current employer said "no" when I proposed it, even though there is an office in KL.

So, I'm thinking I might resign from my job here in the US. I just need something to do while I'm in KL. I'm not even sure I want to stay in tech...I might rather not actually. I'm pretty tired of being in meetings talking about software and hardware.

I'm trying to think of what other options I can come up with. Maybe even volunteer (or nearly volunteer) options? Non-profits? Something maybe even a little bit "fun and rewarding"?

I guess the "Best" option would be to find a remote job in the US that doesn't care where I am. Maybe I can find some sort of "easy gig" that would be enough to "pay the bills".

Thoughts?

Edit:

I would ideally be living in Cyberjaya or Putrajaya areas

I’ve also seen the DE Rantau Nomad Pass. But I think in my case I would need to be a freelancer since I would not be coming in employed? But if I was in a position with a US company, working remote, and they don’t care where. I think that would then work?

There is also a “someone” that is the biggest reason I want to get back to KL.

MCR Concert

8 Upvotes

Hello,

We will be visiting KL to watch the MCR concert, and I hope to get some tips to make our experience go smoothly.

To start with, what time do we need to be at the stadium? We have a seated ticket, no early entry. We are coming from the Pudu area and are planning to ride the LRT.

Is the stadium cold? Do I need to bring a jacket or fan? Is a handheld e-fan allowed inside?

What time do concerts in Bukit Jalil end?

I expect a long queue at the LRT after the concert. Do VISA/Mastercard work at the LRT turnstile? Or can we buy a return ticket prior?

TYSM!
