Petaling Street

Hats off, for instance, to DBKL for revitalizing downtown.

For example, Petaling Street, Bukit Bintang, and the surrounds, which make it so safe and heavily frequented by men and women, both in the late evenings and early mornings.

Cities like Amsterdam felt safer even 10 years ago by design with people living, uh, but with people living in cities frequenting places and watching out for each other.

Surveillance cameras are not just a privacy concern but a major security concern.

Central Market is a restored Art Deco building now devoted to Malaysian crafts, including batik and songket textiles.

Make a brief stop, then continue to Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur's historic Chinese shopping district.

Its appeal lies in the lanes, food, and everyday activity rather than bargain hunting alone.

Eat here or stop for a kopitiam-style breakfast.
