There are lots of lake gardens within and around KL. Those "lakes" are old tin mines. Inside KL they used to do hydraulic mining - using high pressure water jets to strip the hills. The wastewater ponds became lakes. Around KL they used to do dredge mining - they would deliberately flood a valley to be able to float a dreadging boat and then dredge the muddy bottom for tin. Those dredging ponds also became lakes. As the city started to expand and people build housing around those lakes the developers turned them into lake gardens. Partly as an attraction to sell houses but also to fulfill the green lung requirement for building permits. The green lung requirement started with British town/city planners requiring construction projects to reserve some percentage of land for greenery - either fields or gardens etc. The reasoning is for the greenery to provide clean/fresh air. It's part of the reason why KL is so green.
The botanical garden is one of the most beautiful greeneries in KL. There are the KLCC park (free entrance), Lake Titiwangsa (free entrance), Eco Canopy Walk (with a fee), Taman Tugu (with a fee) etc.
@@benfishermin check out FRIM in Kepong as well. FRIM stands for Forest Research Institute of Malaysia. They maintain a forest park just outside of the city in Kepong. The forest park located next to Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve which also inhabited by Orang Asli (native tribe). You know Malay, Chinese and Indians already but i bet you havent heard about Orang Asli. You’d be surprised that these native tribes lives outskirts of Kuala Lumpur in areas such as Bukit Lagong and Bukit Lanjan (part of Damansara Perdana township) Trivia: The developer bought the land from the native tribes and gave them modern houses in return.
Hello Ben, I enjoyed your documentary. I was cracking up when you said why mouse deer it's call that, probably a mouse and a deer mated. That was cute. Some of your comments are very amusing. Keep it up. Couple of points. The resolution could be better, as many scenes are blurry. Also let us know how you're making it on your budget. Thanks
Thanks a lot I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m surprised the resolution seems low, you have the video playing in 1080p? I used to do 4K but the files are just too big and my computer has trouble editing them too. Financially I’m doing slightly better, from the donations I got and then got a RUclips payment for the first time. Still just scraping by though for now 😁
Taman Tasik Perdana (Perdana Botanical Gardens) is KL's equivalent of NY's Central Park. It is free admission but within it are the various attractions like the deer park, bird park and butterfly park which would charge admission fees
Very nice long video.I myself as Malaysian never been to Botanical garden.Hope 1 day i ll be abke to make a visit to this beautiful garden.Keep it up and I will looking forward to your new video.Cheers.
You should hike in the forest of Bukit Nanas, climbing up the canopy walk, take up the view, and then hike up to the KL Tower. The Bukit Nanas Forest is an actual patch virgin tropical rainforest in the middle of KL.
Welcome to Malaysia. Hope you enjoyed a wonderful time (the red tapes are usually to remind care-takers that work needs to be done in that area/ or to let visitors know that work is in progress]. You are allowed to interact with the animals- it's S.E.A. 💞 Just sit quietly where they can come to you if they want to- they only come when your vibes are calm, peaceful. [For parents- you know who you are- stop forcing animals to come to you or your children- it always end up disturbing everyone- applies to all our parks]
6:52 you can go to the natural waterfalls dotted around KL. As the city sits on a valley, theres several waterfalls surround the city, mostly to the north and east. A 30-mins drive away from the city centre you can find some such as Sungai Kanching, Sungai Congkak, Sungai Gabai, Kemensah etc
12:00 the lake garden is part of the larger Botanical Park..the whole green space there is considered Botanical Park with many several components such as lake garden, bird park, orchid garden etc
U a man like natural scenery ofcoz adventure life..some pla ces ie. Templer park Selayang, Agricuture park Bukit Cerakah.Shah Alam are several rain forest that shouldn't u miss to visitso hav a nice day.
if you like parks, you can try to visit Taman Titiwangsa after 5pm. It's realy fun there. Take a monorail to Titiwangsa station. From there get a Grab to the park.
From the city of brotherly love Phillies are on fuego 🔥bro your voice on camera from day one in Thailand when your saying that you want your channel to be different than ones you watch ..to now where your getting your crocodile Dundee on 🤣😂 your cockadoodle doo!!! You have a spiritual peace in your voice ..It’s good stuff to see and hear you enjoying your journey 🙏🏻🙏🏻
If you wanna see waterfalls, there's plenty just outside of KL in Selangor state, but you would require a local group with scout and guide, and most require jungle trekking which is super cool. My fave one was Sungai Chilling ( Chilling River ) waterfall, Hulu Langat (there's a series of waterfalls), and Sungai Pisang near Gombak area.
Other awesome parks besides kl botanical garden are 1. Penang botanical garden 2. Taiping lake garden 3. Titiwangsa KL KL botanical garden was setup in 1888.
I guess the Malaysian guy at the Bird Park was surprised that a native English speaker doesn't understand the English word free-flight. And he didn't know how to explain to you. 😂
Breeding a mouse with a deer = Mouse-deer. American education!😂 Put 'Malaysia' in your title. This way YT may put it in that suggested list when someone watches another Malaysia video. Then you need to get them to click on yours over all the other Malaysia videos in the list. Maybe a cool thumbnail, like you running from a mouse with antlers?😁
Another cat I follow Dan from Vagabond awake did a vlog about the Highlands about an hr north with temps consistently in the high 60’s 70’s Fahrenheit similar to a Chang Mai feel tropical chill ..all you bro
Mouse deer is a small species of deer normally found in south east asia or tropical rainforest.In malay its considered as a kind of genius animal despite of its small size.Its also a name of msia national car n a name where malacca state got its name when a prince frm sumatra witnesses his dog fighting with mouse deer under a malacca tree in 15th century😊
Okay David Attenborough. Wife shrieks "Hubby, there's a rat in the kitchen!". Hubby responds "No, it's just a mouse dear." 😮🤪 Enjoy yourself Benny hehe
Awesome place for you to relax in silence to be honest. The city is very noisy and the atmosphere aint that good. You should try Genting Highlands if you want to have a diff change in environment (Cold place)
Dude...that is sambar deer not Mouse deer. MOUSE DEER IS SMALL HENCE THE NAME AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BECAUSe THEY ARE AFRAID OF PEOPLE AND CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN THE JUNGLE. Mouse DEER is also a protected species in Malaysia you can't even breed or keep them in captivity if you are caught you will be jail. If you live in the country side like me you might encounter them, usually at night... yeh they love go out at night and they have fang and small horn yup mouse deer have fangs! MOUSE DEER is the size of a fat cat. :D
@@benfishermin I don't bother with the thumbnail either.. Don't think it matters.. I just stick the beverage bottle in front of the camera.. Whatever opener you want just pause a few seconds when you start the video and voila you have your thumbnail.. I think thumbnails will be looked at more and more like clickbait
I like your vlogs, it feels very personal and you talk about life and different from other RUclipsrs. Earn yourself a sub. There is a Canadian RUclipsr(PlanetDoug) who has a similar vlogging style to you, and he has been doing RUclips for a long time, and he is currently in KL.

The country is too divided, people are not so in support of each other anymore. I think more and more Americans are starting to become unhappy with the way things are developing there.
For a while, I thought your channel was being invaded or taken ownership by a Kiwi. You don't sound like a kangaroo 😂 7.27 I think probably they all died during Covid, that's why those cages mostly empty and sealed. I don't have any idea,...never been there myself. 16.48 There's paddling lake recreational area in Shah Alam that might interest you, talking about nature tourism.
A big % are still watching at least, maybe I will lose some, I will be making more Thailand vlogs too as well as other countries like India, Vietnam, and many more. I never wanted to be a Thailand vlogger but rather travel around to different places.
@@benfishermin though it's your life and your decision to move to Malaysia, but being a viewer I didn't want you to move there. I was one of your first subscribers but I am not interested in Malaysian content so my interest in your channel has diminished because you're not showing Thailand content. Agreed you never wanted to be a Thailand vlogger but you wanted Thailand as a home base so that was appealing. I'm from India and if you need any information about it feel free to ask!
@@sukh6142 Yes I understand, most people who watch Thailand vlogs mostly only want to see Thailand, that's just how it goes. But at the moment I make very little money, barely enough to support myself, so being able to earn 2x as much in Malaysia and grow much faster I have to prioritize this. As much as I'd like to please each and every person it's not possible. Hopefully you will stick around for my future Thailand content. I still don't have an actual home base I've just decided to spend at least a few weeks to a month traveling around Malaysia, so I may very well end up with a home base in Thailand at some point.
@@benfishermin bro I totally get it. The first priority is survival. Good that you're making double the amount and it's a wise decision but your Malaysian vlogs didn't appeal to me just because I am not into Malaysia and I adore Thailand. Yeah I'll check your Thailand vlogs but I fear that the comments section in that would be filled with nasty comments by Malaysians who don't like to hear good things about Thailand so I don't know if, as a viewer, I'll get the same feeling of watching your vlogs or not, but you never know. Good luck!

You must go to taman tasik titiwangsa and see the nice view of kL...
I like Taman Tugu (tugu park), nearby the Tugu Negara (national monument) totally a jungle vibe in the middle of the city.
Mousedeer is a small deer indigenous to Malaysia.
Thumbs up 👍 Ben
thank you thank you
The botanical garden is absolutely free.
Go to the FRIM garden forest in KL. Its jungly
Sweet I gotta check this out thank you

Gee ur bravo walking around in the sun! Great walking path & shade. KL really has fab urban planning. love info on plants.

The stone path at the end is for reflexology. Take off your shoes and walk on it with socks or bare feet...

Thanks for brought us travelling with you to this nice park as well. 😊
Just take the MRT to Putrajaya. There’s a nice park over there as well.
Kanching Waterfalls is only half an hour away. Just be careful not to go there when it's raining because you need to do some hiking.
Nice thanks I need to check this place out
I love kl
Me too 😃
Go genting highlands or cameron highlands . You will love it. Make sure you take a bus ride there will be cheaper
Thanks gonna visit at least one of these! 🙏
U a man like natural scenery ofcoz adventure life..some pla ces ie. Templer park Selayang, Agricuture park Bukit Cerakah.Shah Alam are several rain forest that shouldn't u miss to visitso hav a nice day.

Taman Tugu in KL is free of charge. The temperature is always cool inside even at midday as the trails are under a forest canopy.
I love free nature excursions 😁😁

I can confirm it definitely wasn't. 😂
Haha no way, maybe a bit mixed 😂
Those are not mouse deers. Mouse deers are tiny.
Botanical Garden is actually free
Not ‘free flight’
Gotcha!!!😂
if you're impressed with the mousedeer wait till you see the catdeer.
lol is this real??
Bird park u can see a lot of bird outside the cage and stand around u
The thumbnails just like your video cassette time great great cover.... lousy movie..
