DO NOT go to the money exchange counter at 1 Utama (the one near the Maybank ATM machine). I went to Pakistan and changed my Rupees at Sg. Wang (the best one is near the middle shops, not big ones or the one near the extrance, can't remember the name though). anyway, the exchange rate was ok (RM1=Rp0.5). When I came back with some Rp left I changed at 1 Utama. Since most of the shops do not have Pakistani Rupees rate displayed, and I was in a hurry. After I arrived home I found out they only gave me RM1=Rp0.32. I was furious and went back and gave them a thorough lesson on integrity and honestly, with many customers watching. They just acted stupid until I asked for their business card and said I would file an official complain. They suddenly retreated and gave me back RM19 !! FYI my exchange loss due to their dishonesty was more than RM200.
