    Your video is littered with a single blunder all over…..
    There is NO RUPIAH in Malaysia. You'll have to go to the country of rupiah, Indonesia (IDR) to use that..
    Or if anyone wants Rufiyya, then go to the Maldives.

    It's the RINGGIT (MYR)formerly known as the Malayan dollar in the 1960s.

    Very helpful! im sure someone pointed out the currency in Malaysia is Ringgit but ur delivery and infos provided is on point. KL is a great place for digital nomads as it is central to south east asia and communication is easy with english widely spoken and the diverse community.

    I am from Singapore and have many friends and relatives in Malaysia including KL. My comments are always nasty towards other South East Asian nations but always good to Malaysia. To me, it is a fact and this is a platform for a free expression. Let me start. If you are looking for wine, women, cannabis, young Thai brides and hot night clubs, Thailand will be the place for you. If you are a very old dude looking for a very young bride, the Philippines will be the place for you. The Nomad Capitalist founder Mr Andrew Henderson could never be wrong about Malaysia being the place with the best value for money especially for those who are on the upper middle class. The rich people such as Jim Rogers would choose to hide their undeclared money in Singapore in order to avoid taxes and for an upper middle class like me, Malaysia is the best country to retire or to live occasionally. What I like about Singapore is the high salary but what I don't like about Singapore is the highest cost in the world to own a car and it is impossible to own a sports car but Malaysia has made my dream come true. I like to own a Mitsubishi Evolution sports car worth (RM315,000 or USD70,000) in Malaysia and the Malaysian petrol Ron95 is the cheapest in SEA around RM2.02 or USD 0.44 per litre. I love the 3 highlands in Malaysia which are Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill which have the best tracks for a sports car. I love to shift gears going up fast to the highlands and enjoy the fresh air, thick fog in the morning and the amazing chilling temperature of 16 deg Celsius. I am inspired by Jackie Chan's movies Thunderbolt and Who Am I on how Jackie managed to shift gears pretty fast in the Mitsubishi sports car and also inspired by Justin Lin's Fast and Furious movies. I love the unique tall skyscrapers of KL and the Petronas Twin towers to me is the most beautiful tower in the world and I like to dine in a restaurant overlooking the twin towers everyday or every week. The Merdeka 118 and TRX are also on my list being so gorgeous and modern looking buildings. Also KL has many car accessory shops which offer competitive prices and the owners of these shops are Chinese Malaysians who can speak good English, good Mandarin, good Cantonese and good Malay. For me undoubtedly, KL is the heaven on earth and the best place to drive my sports car and to park my car in the KLCC area and this is the luxury for the upper middle class and so far all youtubers are saying about the cheapest stuff to do in KL and the cheapest way to travel by the metro train but none on the luxury.
