26. THE HOST CITY - KUALA LUMPUR Kuala Lumpur (KL as the locals call it) is the capital of Malaysia. From its centralized position, which spans 243.6 sq. km, the ultra-modern nerve center of Malaysia expands outwards to embrace the world. Discovering KL is like traveling through a time tunnel. Here, vivid traces of history continue to influence and inspire a country set on becoming a fully industrialized nation by the year 2020. Ultra-modern skyscrapers stand magnificently next to rows and rows of quaint old shop houses while haute cuisine is located beside simple hawker stalls.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city and legislative capital of Malaysia and it is also the largest city in the country. Kuala Lumpur is one of the three Malaysian Federal Territories, and an enclave within the state of Selangor, on the central west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The Federation of Malaysia comprises Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. 27. Geographical Location Located between 2º and 7º north of the Equator, Peninsular Malaysia is separated from the states of Sabah and Sarawak by the South China Sea. To the north of Peninsular Malaysia is Thailand while its southern neighbour is Singapore. Sabah and Sarawak are bounded by Indonesia while Sarawak also shares a border with Brunei.

28. Geography The two distinct parts of Malaysia, separated from each other by the South

China Sea, share a largely similar landscape in that both West and East Malaysia feature coastal plains rising to often densely forested hills and mountains. The local climate is equatorial and characterized by the annual southwest (April to October) and northeast (October to February) monsoons.

29. Languages The sole official language of Malaysia is Malay (Bahasa Melayu). English is also

taught in schools and widely spoken in the cities although in rural areas a little Malay will come in handy.

30. Currency The Malaysian currency is the ringgit, abbreviated RM or MYR, which is divided

into 100 sen. There are coins of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 sen (RM1 coins ceased to be legal tender in December 2005) as well as bills of RM1, 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100. The RM2 note is becoming rare and is usually in bad condition as new notes have ceased to be issued. Coins 1 sen and 5 sen are mainly given as change in large establishments and supermarkets.

31. Shopping Kuala Lumpur is a shopping mecca for clothes, electronics, computer goods

and much more, with very competitive prices by any standard. Traditional Malaysian fabrics (batik) are a popular souvenir. The cheapest place to easily buy ethnic souvenirs (especially wood-based) is in Kuching, East Malaysia, and the most expensive place is in the major, posh KL shopping centres.

From within Malaysia dial the provider's code with the "0", and then the

telephone number. From mobile phone to mobile phone within Malaysia dial the provider's code

with the "0", and then the telephone number. Although you can drop the provider's code if the two phones share the same provider, you will still get through if the provider's code is dialled.

33. PLACES OF INTEREST KUALA LUMPUR CITY CENTER (KLCC) With a height of 1,453 feet, one of the world's tallest buildings rises above the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. They are called the Petronas Towers, and, inevitably, they have become the symbols for the astounding growth that has taken place in Malaysia over the last two decades. The towers are a visual and architectural feat to behold. The Petronas Twin Towers, spectacular when lit up at night, are the world's tallest buildings. Both towers stand almost 1,500 feet tall (88 stories). Included is a skyline link to connect both towers at approximately the halfway point. KUALA LUMPUR RAILWAY STATION Located at Jalan Hishamuddin, this Moorish-style terminal was designed by architect A.B. Hubbock, who also designed the Masjid Jam. Built in 1910, it underwent extensive renovations in 1986. It is equipped with air-conditioned waiting halls, snack kiosks, money changing booths, souvenir shops, restaurants and a tourist information counter. Across the street is the Malayan Railway Administration Building, another fine example of the British colonial adaptation of Moorish architecture. It is linked to the station by an underground thoroughfare. NATIONAL MUSEUM The National Museum just outside the Lake Gardens, is a palatial structure built in style of old Malay Architecture. Located atop a hill at Jalan Travers, it provides an interesting introduction to the history and culture of Malaysia. Inside are interestingly laid out displays and exhibits on local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts; economic activities; local flora and fauna; weapons and currency. KL TOWER This formidable landmark is one of the tallest concrete towers in the world at 421 meters. Aside from being a telecommunications tower, it also houses a great many interesting things, among them being an observation deck and revolving restaurant which has a good array of local and continental cuisine. SULTAN ABDUL SAMAD BUILDING Sultan Abdul Samad Building with its 130-metre clock tower is undeniably one of the most striking landmarks of Kuala Lumpur. Its elaborate edifice is a fantastic blend of Moghul, Moorish, Arab and British neo-classical architecture.
