Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you recommend any books or movies about this city/country for those who are interested in learning more?
"Evening is the Whole Day" by Preeta Samarasan. Well worth a read. - Apr 2017
I can't think of any set in KL, but "The Gift of Rain" by Tan Twan Eng is set in Penang and gives a pretty good idea of Malaysian culture. - May 2016
I found most of my information from Time Out KL, a local franchise of the international brand. They have a comprehensive website and app and Expatriate Lifestyle which has a publication called "Arrivals." I also subscribed to a few magazines for free, e.g, expatriate Lifestyle. I am not much of a book reader, prefer to jump in, in this case. - Aug 2013
Alot of local books, but addressing all aspects or interest is difficult - Aug 2011
