A note on self-promotion and commercial activities

25 Upvotes

Salam monyet-monyet KL sekalian,

We mods here at r/KualaLumpur would like to say something about self-promotion and commercial activities on our subreddit. We know a lot of you come here to share your stuff, from awesome photography, your killer rendang recipe, asking for travel and lodging advice or simply to lepak-lepak and make friends, and that's totally cool! But we also gotta keep things chill and avoid turning the sub into a giant marketplace.

We value the diverse range of content shared here, from personal recommendations to stunning photos of our beautiful city. We understand that many users come here to share their experiences, talents, and businesses with the community. However, it's important to maintain a balance between informative content and blatant advertising.

Self-promotion and commercial activities

Moving forward, we will be removing posts that fall under the following categories:

  • 🐡 Naked self-promotion: This includes posts that solely promote a product, service, or personal brand without offering any valuable content or discussion to the community.

  • πŸ™ˆ Repeated self-promotion: Consistently promoting the same product or service across multiple posts will be considered spam.

  • πŸ™‰ Disguised advertising: Content that appears informative but ultimately aims to sell a product or service will be removed.

  • πŸ™Š Multi-level marketing (MLM) or pyramid scheme promotions: These activities are strictly prohibited on our subreddit.

Acceptable Content and Engagement

We encourage users to continue sharing their knowledge, experiences, and recommendations in a way that benefits the community. Here are some examples of acceptable content:

  • πŸ“· Sharing high-quality photos or videos of Kuala Lumpur that capture the city's essence and beauty.
  • πŸŽ‹ Posting informative guides or reviews about restaurants, attractions, or events in Kuala Lumpur.
  • 🎑 Engaging in genuine discussions about life in Kuala Lumpur, offering advice, and asking questions.

Now, we're not trying to be party poopers here. We just wanna make sure r/KualaLumpur stays a place where everyone feels welcome to share, learn, and discover new things about our awesome city. So keep posting those drool-worthy food pics, insightful reviews, and hilarious KL memes (we love those!), and let's keep this community thriving!

Sekian, terima kasih! πŸ™πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ

Hello, as stated above. We are family of 4 including two kids staying in Berjaya Times Square 43rd Floor. Since 2.5 hours there is power outage for some reason. Now its getting hotter in the room. We are the highest floor. Elevators are obviously not working. What should I do? Should I ring for Emergency / Police ?

Working In KL

4 Upvotes

This is probably a common post, and I apologize if so. I did do some searches and didn't find exactly the kind of info I'm looking for.

I'm a senior level software engineer at a large US company. I spent a month working in KL earlier this year and decided I really want to try being there longer, like a year or two, or more?

Unfortunately my current employer said "no" when I proposed it, even though there is an office in KL.

So, I'm thinking I might resign from my job here in the US. I just need something to do while I'm in KL. I'm not even sure I want to stay in tech...I might rather not actually. I'm pretty tired of being in meetings talking about software and hardware.

I'm trying to think of what other options I can come up with. Maybe even volunteer (or nearly volunteer) options? Non-profits? Something maybe even a little bit "fun and rewarding"?

I guess the "Best" option would be to find a remote job in the US that doesn't care where I am. Maybe I can find some sort of "easy gig" that would be enough to "pay the bills".

Thoughts?

Edit: I would ideally be living in Cyberjaya or Putrajaya areas

MCR Concert

9 Upvotes

Hello,

We will be visiting KL to watch the MCR concert, and I hope to get some tips to make our experience go smoothly.

To start with, what time do we need to be at the stadium? We have a seated ticket, no early entry. We are coming from the Pudu area and are planning to ride the LRT.

Is the stadium cold? Do I need to bring a jacket or fan? Is a handheld e-fan allowed inside?

What time do concerts in Bukit Jalil end?

I expect a long queue at the LRT after the concert. Do VISA/Mastercard work at the LRT turnstile? Or can we buy a return ticket prior?

TYSM!

Going solo at the moment, so thought I’d see if anyone else is going and wants to join! Just looking for good vibes, good company and a fun night concert, drinks/food beforehand, whatever really.
No pressure or expectations, just meet some cool people and enjoy the night. πŸ˜„

What is the range? Feel bad to just watch a free show especially when the performance was good.
