- Download the Grab ride-hailing app for cheap, seamless transport, or use Kuala Lumpur's efficient LRT and MRT train networks to bypass heavy traffic.
- Always remove your shoes before entering homes, mosques, and Hindu temples, and dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees at religious sites.
