great Malaysia is no.2, it is normal for local ppl to pleased other countries than own country. Malaysian food & goods are sell at reasonable price. Unless you are proud of branded designer items...Proud to be Malaysian

Love KL. Seriousl****on't understand why people is sceptical about KL being the shopping haven. Branded watches and electrical items are the cheapest in the region. I have made comparison in everywhere I travel and still I go back to KL to buy. Clothes are aplenty of brands from the cheap pasar malam to the luxurious ones - take your pick. We are so spoilt with choices here in KL. Although I think Bangkok should be rank higher but I guess they take everything into consideration and they lose out on price as KL has sales every other month.

well those who condemned KL as not being a good shopping destination is actually ungrateful Malaysian. please don't deny the truth. moreover, we have many duty-free outlets here in KL such as the high-end boutiques at the Starhill Gallery whi**** voted as one of the most beautiful shopping complex in Asia, featuring world's renowned brand such as LV, Dior, Alexander McQueen and many more.
