Home to gleaming skyscrapers and internationally-recognised landmarks such as the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur (KL) is a federal territory and the capital city of Malaysia. It serves as a global transit point for visitors from all over the world, hence its fame as Malaysia’s most well-known tourist destination.

In 1857, KL began as a small and obscure settlement for tin miners, eventually transforming into the largest and fastest growing metropolis in Malaysia. The meaning behind its name, “muddy confluence”, has an interesting history behind it. Years ago, the area suffered great floods that covered everything in mud. However, today it has evolved into a beautiful place, proving itself to be beyond its namesake.

The property market in KL has been stabilising lately, following a gradual recovery from COVID-19 pandemic phase. Prices have been seeing an upward trend, along with reviving property interest for KL, partly due to upcoming developments such as Tun Razak Exchange, Bandar Malaysia, and KL Metropolis. This will uplift the market’s excitement about the positive impact on surrounding property prices in the future.

Eclectic and exhilarating, KL offers a lifestyle that cannot be missed. A must-visit would be Bukit Bintang, a famous shopping and entertainment district filled with elite international brands and the trendiest restaurants. Aside from that, you can witness a spectacular 360​​° view of the city skyline inside a revolving restaurant within the Kuala Lumpur Tower. If you’re looking for a vibrant nightlife, Changkat is guaranteed to give you an experience like no other.

Crime Rate

Crime Index is an estimation of overall level of crime in a given city or a country. We consider crime levels lower than 20 as very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as being low, crime levels between 40 and 60 as being moderate, crime levels between 60 and 80 as being high and finally crime levels higher than 80 as being very high.

Safety index is, on the other way, quite opposite of crime index. If the city has a high safety index, it is considered very safe.

Consumer Price Index

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) line shows an increment in prices of essential goods on a yearly basis, while the Percentage Changes line shows the level of changes in price increments over the years. For example, a dip in the CPI line may indicate a low level of price increment as compared to the previous year while a surge in CPI line shows a high level of price increment as compared to the previous year.

The above graph shows 1.363% of price changes in essential goods such as rice, meat and tobacco between the years 2011 and 2012, while increasing in difference to 1.633% in 2013. Prices of essential goods then increasing to 3.308% in the year 2014 while surging by 3.019% in 2015.

While the prices of essential goods have shown a variation in the Percentage Changes, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the other hand indicates a reality of ever increasing prices in essential goods with increments between the years 2011 - 2015 at 102.7 in 2011, 104.1 in 2012, 105.8 in 2013, 109.3 in 2014, 112.6 in 2015.

This is a representation of Kuala Lumpur Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the year of 2011 - 2015
