    The truth can't be far from what you have said! Very impressive observation.. we wouldn't want KL be like Bali or Pattaya or Bangkok. If you want to go to sin city, well, its just 1 or 2 hours away. No fret. Malaysians have seen so many cases of drunk driving that leads to fatality and we want to eliminate this. Of course there are still entertainment centers like changkat, trec, etc to cater to those who wants entertainment but really, the majority of Malaysians especially those with good family values wants a healthy and stable life.

      Alcohol consumption is a significant global challenge, as highlighted by the United Nations and its agencies, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO). It is responsible for approximately 2.6 million deaths annually, accounting for nearly 5% of all global fatalities. The harmful use of alcohol also contributes to 4.7% of the global burden of disease and injury, as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). These figures underline the critical role of alcohol in public health concerns worldwide.
      The health impacts of alcohol are profound. In 2019 alone, 4.4% of all cancers diagnosed globally and 401,000 cancer deaths were attributed to alcohol consumption. Injuries, including those resulting from road traffic accidents and violence, are another major contributor to the alcohol-attributable disease burden. Furthermore, alcohol is the leading risk factor for premature mortality and disability among individuals aged 20 to 39, causing 13% of all deaths in this demographic.
      The social and economic consequences of alcohol misuse are equally significant. Alcohol consumption imposes a substantial economic burden on societies through healthcare costs, lost productivity, and law enforcement expenses. It also exacerbates social issues, including youth mortality, domestic violence, and public safety concerns, further straining communities and resources.

  • @Uda007
    @Uda007 Месяц назад +11

    Let me add why they said KL is boring. Well, we limit and strictly regulate alcohol in public. We don't allow gambling except for certain premises with licenses. We don't have legal prostitution. There is no party with alcohol in public. And Malaysian culture doesn't party at home. The neighbors will call the police... hehe... You won't see people drunk on the street or in public. And for drugs - very very strict. Don't play around with drugs in Malaysia. You will regret if get caught. With a certain amount of drugs with you, you might get hung to death. Be careful in Malaysia. We don't tolerate drugs. And dressing code in Malaysia. You have to wear modesty. You cannot expose your body too much and no bikini at the beach except at the private beach premises belonging to the 5-star hotel. Public beach - NOOOOO... You cannot kiss in public even if you are husband and wife. Kiss at home. Hehehe... We are Islamic State but we are not that too strict. Anyway, we are still not too tolerant. We are the moderate Islamic State. Syariah Law only applies to Muslims only. We don't allow free sex and we do not allow couples to live together for Muslims. Must get married first. So, you will see our lifestyle is very different from Bangkok where you can see women almost everywhere, especially at night. Our nightlife is very low. Not much to enjoy. Malaysia is good for family life or those who are retired. You will find calm and pleasant over here. Relax. But our infrastructure and technology are as good as Western big cities. We have everything that had in the Western big cities. No problem.

    15-20 years ago snatch theft with motorcycle was quite rampant in KL. The victims are usually women walking, honestly I've not heard men got robbed that way. The big knife can be an exaggeration, Malaysians loves to exaggerate 😁. There are still snatch theft today, but I would say a lot less than before. For an adult male visitor, I would say any parts of Malaysia would be 98% safe.... there are no hoodie gangs waiting to jump to you here. For ladies it's still relatively safe, but not the same level of safety you get in Japan or Spore.... just be mindful.

      @@dalilahjafar3423 it's not a lie, I grew up in Brickfields in the 90s & 2000s and you don't know how the situation was with gangs, robberies, prostitutions and drunkards in that area. there were many snatch theft cases around KL reported before. just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not there. I went to school near Jalan Ampang area back in early 2000s and the teachers constantly reminded us to be careful for snatch thief & drug addicts when walking to the school. that KL main triangle area was quite dangerous back then. there were pickpocket cases in Pudu station, Jalan TAR, Petaling Street & also on public transports. people have been mugged. you were lucky to have not experience those stuff. but don't invalidate the truth & what others experience by saying it's a lie. if you really worked in KL you would've known or heard these cases. things has gotten so much better now tho.
