A lot of foreigners especially from the Western world said
that Kuala Lumpur is soulless, boring and not much things to do.
Often in comparison to Bangkok or HCMC.
Singapore is also boring to them.

Now we all know it is just an euphemism for the absence of
cheap alcohol,
avaibility of drugs
and free sexual experience.

Now, my question -
HOW DO WE MAKE KL NOT BORING TO THEM

Of course, excluding the above activities.
We don't want LBH, passportbros or pedos on our streets anyway

1.
Compared to other cities, KL has one natural disadvantage - water!
Bangkok has Chao Praya River;
HCMC has Saigon River;
HK has Victoria Harbour;
Singapore has Marina Bay & Singapore River;
even Melaka has a Melaka River;

KL has Klang River, but it is too small, too narrow.

There was a reason why Hollywood shot the river scene of the movie Entrapment in Melaka instead of in KL.

2.
Bali has many cultural shows - gamelan, kecak, barong, dances based on Ramayana.
Malaysia used to have something similar, but are never promoted. Some are ruled haram already.

For tourists who are not into beer and sex, cultural shows are a good alternative. But we flung it.
