KL and beauty just do not go together. Very sorry to say.
I have to admit, Kuala Lumpur is BETTER as a city than it was 10 years ago. DBKL have done some very good work and upgrading on many fronts but their current policy of destroying what's left of the green lungs (bukit kiara/bukit antarabangsa) leaves a lot to be desired.
Until there is such time the powers that be decide to put a stop to condo developments in every single green lunch area that exists, or building low cost apartments, there just is very very little greenary to be seen in the long term in the city alone.
I do think policy will change, but given sime darby`s relentless development of bukit kiara as an example and what remains of it, it does not bode well for the future.
Damansara Perdana being another example.
And too many foreigners doing the jobs locals should be/could be doing in the food industry and service industry.
