I stayed very close to the Komtar a few years ago when I was backpacking around SE Asia. Its an amazing buiding and city - also love going up the . I’m not really a big shopper though and prefered to sample the fantastic foods on offer. It was in Penang that I had the best ever Indian food outside of India served on a real Banana leaf. Fantastic, would love to go back soon. By Budget Accomodation Asia on Sep 05, 2008

English is widely spoken so it’s very easy to get by. Though a few words of malay (Bahasa Malaysia) are always handy and will impress people. Malay is the official language but due to the multiracial character of the country you’ll find many languages spoken like Chinese (mandarin, cantonese, hokkien,...), Tamil among the Indians and several more languages on Borneo.
A cicak story about 2 urban chinese guys deciding to head down to Bukit Binang (Kuala Lumpur) in the middle of the night to play their guitars. Unexpectedly they make friends with a group of guys from Sabah. A fresh story about a night in downtown KL and music as a common language.
