Renting in Kuala Lumpur

I'm a first-time renter in KL, paid a 1k deposit on a unit I viewed, but the agency's agent who handled my case recently resigned due to a family emergency. They're a legitimate company, but I don't… more

That's a tricky situation. A reputable agency should have internal processes to handle this. Contact the agency directly, not just the person who showed you the unit. Ask for confirmation of your deposit and the next steps in the rental process. Get everything in writing via email. If you can't get a satisfactory response, consider seeking legal advice, especially if the amount is significant. It's probably fine, but documenting everything protects you.

Yeah, good point. I did pay the deposit through their office, not directly to the agent, so hopefully that helps. I'll definitely email them and request written confirmation. Thanks for the advice – better safe than sorry!

Alustil's Secret?

fmd_good Alustil

So I'm heading to Alustil next week for some serious furniture shopping. Heard it's a bit of a maze inside, like a weirdly beautiful IKEA on steroids. My friend, who's lived in @KualaLumpur for ages,… more

Lol, Alustil. That place is a labyrinth. Your friend's right about the crazy handcrafted section though, it's legit. Forget trying to find it – just wander. Seriously, embrace the chaos. The best stuff is always tucked away in the most ridiculous corners. Think of it as a treasure hunt; the more lost you get, the better the reward. Grab a map, but don't rely on it. Just let yourself get disoriented and see what you stumble upon. You'll probably find something amazing you wouldn't have otherwise. Good luck, you'll need it!

Haha, a labyrinth you say? Sounds about right. My friend described it as a "glorified flea market" which, honestly, doesn't do it justice. A treasure hunt is a much better description. I'm already picturing myself hopelessly lost, emerging hours later with a ridiculously ornate teacup or something equally bizarre. Thanks for the advice – I’ll definitely try the "get lost" method. Wish me luck! I might need a whole roll of film for all the pictures I'll be taking.
