⸻
GETTING AROUND KL
Use ride hailing apps
Locals recommend Grab
Avoid street taxis
Some drivers avoid meters and quote inflated prices
Apps keep it clean and predictable
Public transport is solid
Trains and monorails cover
most of the city
If you’re happy to walk a bit
You’ll save money
⸻
PAYMENTS & MONEY
Apple Pay and Google Wallet work in many places
You can survive with just your phone
But
Street food and cheaper spots often use
Cash and QR payments
Those usually require a local Malaysian e-wallet
Which often needs a Malaysian phone number
Carry some cash
Especially for hawker stalls
Useful anchors
≈ 4 ringgit per $1
Daily food can be under $10 if you eat local
If you’re coming from Europe or the US
Malaysia will feel cheap
⸻
SIM CARDS & DATA
Two good options
eSIM
Fast and easy
No local number
Local SIM
Available at the airport and convenience stores
Recommended if you want QR payments to work smoothly
20GB mobile data ≈ 30–35 ringgit
Less than $10
20GB is plenty
⸻
WHERE TO STAY
Airbnb > hotels for value
Condos often include
Pool
Gym
Kitchenette
Best area for first-timers KLCC
Central and easy to move around
Rough pricing from locals
Decent hotels ≈ $30–40 per night
Longer stays can be surprisingly affordable
⸻
SAFETY BASICS
KL is generally safe
No major no go zones
Use common sense
Avoid dark alleys late at night
Watch belongings in crowds
Things to note

Vaping laws are tightening
Check before travel
⸻
HAGGLING LIKE A LOCAL
Haggling is normal in markets
Not in McDonalds
Be polite
Not aggressive
Local magic words
“Terima kasih” = thank you
“Kurang sikit lah” = a little cheaper
Compliment first
Then negotiate ;)
Add “lah” to sentences for local flavour
It’s like saying innit in the UK
⸻
WEATHER & WHAT TO PACK
KL is always summer
Pack light
Breathable clothes
Sunscreen
Humidity is real

BREAKING:
Jupiter Lend now displays both your APR and APY on the Earn page.
What's the difference?
Your APY is higher because it accounts for the auto-compounding.
Today, we’re sharing the upcoming release of Metis v7 and its transition into a standalone project separate of Jupiter.
Metis has long been the cornerstone router of the Solana ecosystem, facilitating trillions in transactions, helping partners generate hundreds of millions in fees, and helping bootstrap other routers in their early days.
Since 2021, Metis has been provided as a public good, both as an API and as a Binary. We’ve provided it for free or at cost, all while providing customer and user support for teams of all sizes.
Currently, Jupiter is powered by Ultra, complete with multiple routing paths and liquidity venues including JupiterZ, DFlow, OKX, and others. It’s the right time for Metis to stand on its own.
Even though Metis is now a small part of the Jupiter project, we recognize it’s critical importance in the ecosystem and will continue improving it, expanding liquidity options, and optimizing the algorythm to keep it as the world class router it always has been.
This post outlines how Metis will operate going forward, how to access it, and how to share feedback. 👇
