>> Shopping Malls
Malaysians love their malls. Though many may not intend to buy anything, the malls of Malaysia are packed on weekends. You’ll find all the names you’re familiar with at the largest malls – Sony, Prada, Nokia, Nike, and so on. Parking is sometimes a problem, but many malls have this problem covered. Among KL’s most expat-friendly malls are 1 Utama, Suria KLCC, and Mid Valley Megamall. There’s usually no room for haggling, but you may have success at some malls (especially in highly competitive markets, such as handphone sales). Here are the list of some shopping malls in KL .
