Put it this way: what does KL have that's unique? That you aren't better off finding in Penang or Melaka or even Singapore?
Having been to KL and all of those, absolutely nothing comes to mind. For food, I'd rather go to Penang or Singapore. History, Melaka and Penang. Nightlife, Singapore. Outdoor activities, pretty much anywhere else. Want to explore a jungle? Hop a flight to Kuching.
To be clear, I love Malaysia. I think it's an underrated country by most Western travelers. But KL is best thought of as a stopping point on the way to more interesting locales.
