Abigail, my wife and me went back to Malaysia for a holiday recently, 1st June till 22nd June 2010. The last time I went home was in 2006. Kuala Lumpur changed so much in just 4 years...I was a bit shocked!
The one thing I really don't like about KL now is that it has too many high rises around. No matter where you turn your head, there are bound to be some multi-storey apartment buildings blocking your view. And there are more being build around these existing ones! Does KL really need so many apartments? Last I heard, a lot of people move away from Malaysia every year. Maybe there are even MORE people moving into Malaysia? Who are these people? Where are they from? Is there a country worse than the current Malaysia? I don't know...
When I left KL in 2006, I was thinking of coming back to Malaysia to start a career or a business. When I left KL two weeks ago, I was glad I didn't move back in 2006. It's ok to go back for a couple of weeks for a holiday but, to actually live there, I doubt it. I was also surprised, to find that the living cost in KL is actualy higher than in Edinburgh.
Something is seriously wrong with my beloved Malaysia. It is sick. It needs help.
Who can help?
