Best part about the whole NS debacle and how it wrapped up is that the Prime Minister didn't even dignify Balaji's threat and demands with a response. The response ultimately came from a Majlis Bandaraya lol.

@Gonzohall When doing business in Malaysia, you should learn the ways of doing business in Malaysia. Simple as that. He failed spectacularly by escalating an issue that he was cleared for. Threatening the Prime Minister with an an arrogance that people couldn't stand, rightfully so.

@blankpeptides Thank you!

My suggestion, perhaps a cleaner approach is to differentiate the gate and discount code /promo messages at different customer journey stages.

Upon entry, the gate only. Nothing else.

Slowly after the customer gets interested. Trigger the sign up promo code

The 9 to 5 doesn’t just cost you time. It costs you everything that matters.

- Your kids see you for 45 minutes a day. The iPad sees them for 5 hours. You’re not raising them. A screen is.

- Your wife needs to work too. Or if she does stay at home, she’s stressed and you’re too drained mentally to be the head of the household.

- You used to pray. Used to read. Used to have space to think about something bigger than deadlines and meetings.

- Now you’re too tired for God. Too tired for growth. Too tired for anything except numbing out until the alarm goes off again.

- You gave away Monday through Friday so you could “live” on Saturday and Sunday.

- But Saturday is just recovering from the week. And Sunday is already dreading Monday.

- This is the trade nobody explains on your first day.

- You figure it out a decade in when you realize your kids don’t really know you and you don’t really know yourself anymore.

Wake up now, there’s a better way.

First Impressions - KUALA LUMPUR

24 hours ago, I landed in Kuala Lumpur (KL) Malaysia, after six months in Bangkok.

Like Bangkok, KL boasts cheap rent and year-round tropical weather.

I came here to see how it compares to its more famous Thai cousin.

My first impressions:

#1. AFFORDABILITY. Most local street food costs about the same in KL as in BKK--which is to say far cheaper than in the west. In the pic below (1), you can see a nice Muslim-style flatbread sandwich I got for about $1.50. At a Halal food truck in Toronto or New York, this would cost like 10 bucks. A standard Thai street dish for a single person would cost about the same at this, but it would more likely be a soup of some kind rather than a sandwich, as Thai cuisine isn't big on sandwiches.

As far as price of accommodation goes: again, KL is quite similar to Bangkok. My hotel cost around $25/night--very similar to Bangkok hotels, and for a similar price.

#2. INFRASTRUCTURE QUALITY. Broadly speaking, I am finding KL's infrastructure to be better quality than Bangkok's. In the picture below (2), you can see a typical KL street. It is much wider and paved better than a typical Bangkok street; as a result, it is more pleasant to walk on. In fact, I would say that KL's street infrastructure (roads, traffic lights, signage, overpasses, skytrain etc) is on par with any *WESTERN* city.

#3. CONVENIENCE/LIFESTYLE/FLEXIBILITY. When it comes to convenience and lifestyle factors, KL is again quite similar to Bangkok. Restaurants and food vendors on every street corner. Well served by Grab (Uber/Doordash of SouthEast Asia) for transportation and food. A skytrain serving the city. Bangkok's BTS is generally thought to have better coverage than KL's monorail, but the latter is more aesthetically pleasing, having a 'clean' and futuristic look. I would call it a tie between KL and Bangkok on convenience/lifestyle/flexibility.

#4. WEATHER

KL is a little bit cooler than Bangkok. In this writer's opinion, that is a positive. Those seeking "fun and Sun" may feel differently.

#5. MISC THINGS ABOUT KL

Having compared KL to Bangkok on the criteria most travellers are interested in, I'll now move on to some misc things I noticed about KL that make it unique.

- Bright lights! KL is lit up like a lightbulb on every street corner. In the image below (3), you can see an ad for a Bank, clearly lit up in bright, multi-colored, flurorescent lights. In the West, this kind of fluorescent lighting is typical of nightlife and strip clubs; you definitely wouldn't see a bank lit up like this in (e.g.) Canada.

- Hustle and bustle. KL's streets are extremely busy and high energy much like New York City's. Very frequently, you'll find yourself having to navigate around other people in order to get ahead on a KL sidewalk. This can be frustrating, but it contributes to the 'high energy' feels that KL offers.

- The skyline. KL has one of the most iconic skylines in the world, boasting megatall skyscrapers as well as some smaller but nevertheless recognizable buildings. Even if you're just hearing the name "Kuala Lumpur" for the first time now, there's a good chance you've seen the KL skyline before in a movie or TV show!

In the image below (4) you can see Petronas Towers, the world's most famous Twin Towers, and one of the most iconic components of KL's skyline. Other noteworthy buildings in the KL skyline include the sky needle-esque Kuala Lumpur Tower and the futuristic Merdeka Tower.

Conclusion

After spending 24 hours in Kuala Lumpur, the best way I can think of to describe it is "Saudi Arabia meets Bangkok meets China." Like Saudi Arabia, KL is replete with Islamic sights, sounds, flavors and smells. Like Bangkok, it is affordable yet luxurious. Like China, it is full of bright lights and red-yellow decorative motifs. Overall, it is a place that has to be experienced to be believed.
