    Hi MalaysiaStory Blog. Petaling Street is no doubt one of the popular places in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. This place is actually ‘unofficial’ China Town in Kuala Lumpur.

    As the name suggest, the area can be said to be occupied by 100% Chinese. You can see yourself when you are here.

    My first visit to Petaling Street was 13 years ago when I was still in secondary school and there were lots of ‘Made in Thailand’ Nike and other branded clothes, accessories etc.

    The Petaling Street today seems to have better appearance than it was 13 years ago with the nice entrance gate and this street is easily accessible by short distance walking from Puduraya bus terminal.

    Sometimes I heard the bad things about the sellers there towards the visitors like forcing the people to buy the stuff eventhough that person doesn’t want to buy that thing.

    I believe this type of sellers are just the minority and hope one day that there is no such of the cases.
