Köbtke December 31st, 2005, 02:55 PM 7/10. It's still too sporadic and not dense enough for my liking. It lacks urbanity and there's too much greenery seperating the indivdual buildings. The enviroment lacks coherency between buildings, especially on street level. From a good deal of the pictures, it looks like someone has just decided to put up a lot of tall buildings in a jungle, or at least in a township. Not worrying too much what's between the buildings. Mosaic December 31st, 2005, 02:59 PM KL's skyline is beautiful but it would be better if it's denser.

On the contrary, a lot of those green was planted after the buildings were put up. Being in the equitorial region, can't have too much green in KL. If not for these greens, KL would be like an oven from the heat of the sun. I would rather have the wide expanse of green rather than some of the over-crowded density the can be found in some other cities. Manila-X January 2nd, 2006, 11:33 AM we're bored of the Petronas... I too :D I rather see more of KL's skyline than just the Petronas! Lastresorter January 2nd, 2006, 11:36 AM ^^ I absolutely agree, thanks to the greeneries that KL has shades all over the city. Perfect natural shelters from the scorching sun.

I still don't like it much though :D But it's just a matter of taste I guess. I'd prefer HK's or NY's urbeness everyday, over green areas. Maybe it's because I was born and raised in my countries greenest urban municipality ;) argory January 3rd, 2006, 06:58 PM Well, those are some fair arguments.

I TOTALLY disagree with you..TOO MUCH GREENS? ya think density and concrete makes a wonderful city??????? I'd rather live in a city in a jungle than a city on concrete...lifeless, boring, cold and carbon copy of any other cities in the world for that matter. KL to me is well balanced...yup it's sporadic but helps disperse urbanity, developmemt and expand the city from chokin itself to death from pollution and overpopulation.

Before the twin towers, Maybank building I assumed referred as KL point of reference, then there is KL tower, it was a nice new KL point of reference back then and now with the twin towers it is KL proud point of reference or sort of the centre of KL. It is indeed now called as KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre). and Steve-skyline....oh steve, KL is hot and humid...if you dont know yet... KL is situated in Malaysia, which is a tropical country, which located close to the equator. KL doesn't have four seasons thus the weather is not that comfortable. KL dwellers can't do much about the 'hot' problem can't they?....dirty, pollution etc. those thing can be improved. Traffic jam, dusty and dirty. Those problem are not to be proud of but for now please hang out in a mall, dont walk outside, please use light rail transit, stay at home preferrably and all of steve problem will be solved....Cheers steve_skyline February 3rd, 2006, 06:02 PM Don't get me wrong, I like KL the most among all the Malaysian cities, follow by Penang(nice+cheap foods)->Melaka(historical city+nice food)->JB->Ipoh. At least KL skyline is better than some of the asian cities, cheers!!!

Lastresorter February 4th, 2006, 12:18 AM The trees and greeneries are probably the best solution using environmental approach to counter the heat of an equator sun. Seriously, in a tropical city like KL, you would want the natural shades than anything else besides air-conds that cause irreversible damage to our ozone layer. I understand that ppl enjoy denser-looking cities but then again, KL certainly doesn't have the luxury to do that, unless it is ready to give in to the heat and thus melt the city altogether. But then again, despite all the greeneries, KL City still does look dense from many angles. It's all about landscaping and architecture, really. Local architects like Ken Yeang, Hijas Kasturi and Jimmy Lim are simply some of the few that take local climates into considerations, making constant architectural improvements such as planting trees in skyscrapers, well-ventilated interiors and heat-proof facades. There's a reason why Dr Kisho Kurokawa's designs are selected for KLIA and KL Sentral. They fit into the environmental friendly criteria. I am grateful that KL is a huge showground for this genre of architecture, without compromising land scarcity. Of course, the liking of such skyline is very subjective. All I can say is, thanks to the climate, KL's skyline has to be contented for now in terms of density. **On a side note, stroll on the streets in KL and you don't see many tall buildings with reflective glass panels. Why? Imagine having four corners of glasses in the middle of the afternoon, it makes the central ground a big big big oven. Anything drops in the centre simply gets burnt. Caesar Pelli's Petronas Twin Towers is an architectural revolution simply because it uses aluminium facade, that fits in the modern looking+environmental friendly category, in a hot place where concrete used to be the best choice for the temperature (probably still is). Lastresorter February 4th, 2006, 12:51 AM This is the view of KL city from a suburb, which somewhat sums up what I was saying earlier. http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/8387/380748128dcrysefs0ro28go.jpg It does look dense and huge for a city its size doesnt it?

In almost every KL City pic you'll find this golden bright building trying to stand against its giant twins neighbour. Shaped like a BaGua (Chinese geomancy tool), it was designed to absorb good Fengshui around its vicinity. Believe it or not, rumour has it that the fountain between the tower and the twin towers serve some Fengshui purposes. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6565/pb027hz.jpg http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6656/pb016uh.jpg More pics of other buildings will be posted only on request.

You say same quality of life, peaceful, more relaxed and polite? I beg to differ! KL on a recent survey was as one of the most impolite and rudest cities in the world, people hardly ever say thank you, please. And about your statement about quality of life and it being relaxed? Better quality of life?? I doubt New Yorkers have to deal with an institutionalized religious police authority raiding night clubs and hotels? Cops demanding bribes at road blocks? Or the persecution of homosexuals? Leeigh if I remembered correctly you have said openly in the Malaysian forums that you are gay! Would the standard of living (read: your rights) be better in NY where you have legal protection of your choice in lifestyle, a more progressive understanding of your sexual preferences or in Kuala Lumpur, where homophobia is extremely rife, sodomy criminalized and illegal? I can't believe you're actually saying that its "peaceful..people are more relaxed and polite and CLOSE to paradise". KL authorities do not take kindly to people of your orientation! OOhhhh and if you ever want to protest in your city about ohhh I don't know, inflation, struggling against high hikes in petrol prices, the police shoot water canons at you in KL, beat you with batons, possibly throw you in jail without trial which KL police have the power to do under ISA law AND all this being not at all reported by the Malaysian government controled media?? Look, if you want to believe that KL is polite, relaxed and close to paradise as you say, then fine, thats your opinion. But I hope you don't expect others to believe you, or expect them to rate KL skyline highly, whats good for you buddy might not be someone else's cup of tea.

What the hell is your problem? I can't believe you preach maturity to someone without much reflection to your own statements? If you were truly mature, you would realize that others might not agree to KL's skyline, would rate it poorly reflecting their own aesthetic predilection and predisposition but instead you call the guy "TOO proud for your own good...just plain ol silly, arrogant, sheltered" called him "really stupid" for rating less than 5? Second guessing his motives for the low score because he's an American????? Now thats mature! hhaahhhhhhhh! Lets refresh what got you so livid about: Putting it in simpler terms, I cannot appreciate the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. It just doesn't strike me and say look at me! 4.5! ^^There's nothing wrong with this! Its an individual take on a subjective matter, he can't appreciate the skyline, its not his fault, why do you chide him on it, there is no right or wrong rating of skyscrapers or skyline, people should be given the right to rate the skyline whatever they deem appropriate EVEN if its 4.5! They not be afraid to get scolded and instances of name calling just because they see things differently from you, especially since this is subjective. As a Malaysian and born in KL, I do realize that it might not everyone's type of city. Afterall I know a lot of my fellow city inhabitants and my closest friends have migrated permanently from KL to Singapore, Europe, the U.S. and Australia, N.Z., they have migrated to "better" cities and lifestyles in their view. That said, if you love KL so much, good for you, just don't force it on others to see it your way because quite a few really don't, these guys have the right to see things the way they do.

You got things blown way out of proportion. I was merely referring to small aspects of KL, skyline and what it has to offer...with no mention of politics and all other rotting issues. As a proud Malaysian and GAY, I do my part when someone 'belittle' KL and look down on KL... Yes we are entitled to our opinions but if someone gives a hint arrogance, discrimination...I surely will defend Kl or any part of Malaysia for that matter...as GAY MALAYSIAN and MUSLIM I have no qualms to stand my city and Malaysia in general. KL is farrrrrr form perfect and as a gay man...we are often ridiculed and targeted but I believe in a better future. AND I was'nt born yesterday and I do know the difference between honest opinion and an assault. On that note...I am totally disspointed in you and that is MY opinion, on that note, I cease communication with you. I do not deal with individuals that has so much hatred and quick to call me name....DICK, have I called anyone names nor have I laughed at their statements? alsen October 1st, 2006, 10:16 AM http://static.flickr.com/26/54843705_a0ff3b7a57.jpg?v=0 http://static.flickr.com/91/240272119_62f7b7994a.jpg?v=0 http://static.flickr.com/95/240257492_b444db7b97.jpg?v=0 this pictures look great Subangite October 1st, 2006, 11:01 AM Dear Subangite.

KL is farrrrrr form perfect and as a gay man...we are often ridiculed and targeted but I believe in a better future. AND I was'nt born yesterday and I do know the difference between honest opinion and an assault. Whatever... Look, there is no hatred on my part, this section of skyscraper city is about rating skylines!! NO ONE should be chided, it is completely subjective, if they rated KL as a 4.5, then you should just be quiet and accept it, its purely subjective preferences!! !!!! So yes you were being a complete dick to nygirl AND greatsky!! Read what you wrote! Your caustic comments were because they disagreed with you, there was no arrogance on their part because there was none to be had, its rating skylines!!! Because they don't think much of the KL skyline and you attack them on it, calling them arrogant, sheltered and stupid, well thats worrying, dude its just rating a skyline, there is no need for all this! On that note...I am totally disspointed in you and that is MY opinion, on that note, I cease communication with you. I do not deal with individuals that has so much hatred and quick to call me name....DICK, have I called anyone names nor have I laughed at their statements? ^^Fine, cease communications with me, I honestly don't care. BUT YES YOU HAVE resorted to name calling because of their negative statements on the KL skyline, and in my book, thats being a complete dick! There is no need for it. I'm quoting you for the second time what you said; "TOO proud for your own good...just plain ol silly, arrogant, sheltered" called him "really stupid". This is what you have said, I called you a dick for saying these things, how do you like the name calling now? Its great when you were dishing it out without restraint to "greatsky" (in bold above) but when I called you a dick for name calling, you get upset?? Look in the mirror or your previous posts! Your upset about me calling you a dick, how do you think nygirl or greatsky feels because of your name calling as a result of your overzealous KL, Malaysian pride? :nono: Its one thing to be proud of your city, but there is no need of "defending" of KL as you say it, this section is to rate skylines, its absolutely subjective, you are bound to find someone who disagrees with it, so just Grow up and live with it! Don't chastise and chide someone because they don't like the KL skyline, their opinions and preferences are different from yours, respect that, respect the negative comments and ratings even if you don't agree with them (it's a subjective issue, there is no wrong answer), you being the gay Malaysian muslim should understand the need for this. BTW the reason why I brought up Malaysian politics and treatment of the gay community and civil rights is because you were mentioning how KL was paradise and the quality of life, all attributes not related to the skyline, but anyways theres the subjectivity of the matter of your defense and reply, quality of life and close to "paradise" is completely subjective! I personally don't see my birth city as paradise, "quality of life" and "close to paradise" depends on the individual interpretation! This is what you wrote incase you forgot! people are more relaxed and polite and CLOSE to paradise...THE islands..Langkawi, Tioman, Pangkor etc... Look at the population of KL, just a fraction of NY BUT has the same quality of life and has all that NYC has to offer....and more. :cheers: your reply to nygirl ^^ From my experience the people aren't polite, I've yet to meet a checkout sales girl say thank you or please. The quality of life, close to paradise is quite subjective too, for me it would be better if personal liberties are cherished. Ain't it weird that the AMERICANS gives poor ratings to KL?? TOO proud for your own good...just plain ol silly, arrogant, sheltered (yes most Americans don't know much about other parts of the world) BUT I doubt fans of KL care of what you think....cause they are more mature and well rounded than some americans. I understand if you are not fancy of KL skyline but less than 5 just really stupid. Gotta remember...KL population is less than 3 million and the skyline is better than most US cities...I am in Miami and honestly think that KL skyline is much better...Miami is catching up real fast but the infrastructure of the city stinks and downtown is dead...has a flea market ambiance to it... your reply to greatsky ^^ Honestly, reading this was the one that bugged me. You called him, silly arrogant, proud and stupid, because he rated it a 4.5? For shame!! alsen October 1st, 2006, 06:34 PM enough already...you always ruined a good thread like this with your arguments Subangite October 1st, 2006, 08:16 PM enough already...you always ruined a good thread like this with your arguments No, its not enough Alsen!! :nono: Who ruined the tread by calling others silly, proud, arrogant and stupid?? It was Leeigh! I always ruin a good thread you say. Fine if you say so. I'm not too bothered by it. But Leeigh calling people names like that because they ranked KL the way they saw fit? If you want a good skyline thread then it should be reflective of all, even those who don't fancy the KL skyline. :scouserd: nitzomoe October 1st, 2006, 08:33 PM needs a few more supertalls 8.5/10 hypermount October 3rd, 2006, 09:45 PM ol silly Subangite, just sever the tie with your "city of birth" then. with all those islamphobia going on dun come crawling back when you getting bad treatment in so called "paradise" of yours. i believe you're a muslim by judging your old posts. BTW the reason why I brought up Malaysian politics and treatment of the gay community and civil rights is because you were mentioning how KL was paradise and the quality of life, all attributes not related to the skyline, but anyways theres the subjectivity of the matter of your defense and reply, quality of life and close to "paradise" is completely subjective! I personally don't see my birth city as paradise, "quality of life" and "close to paradise" depends on the individual interpretation! I laugh at this.. If KL was a paradise to him? What's wrong with him saying that and then you brought up unecessary pointss and it's way hell out of proportion. it's not just about gay rights or fucking civil right. I understand if you are not fancy of KL skyline but less than 5 just really stupid Is this calling someone stupid? My advise to you Subangite. Get a fucking grip. Old Malaysia may not up to ur whim and fancy but it's still "no place like home" for those malaysians who had lived throughout in their so called "perfect western countries which has better civil rights". http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/9/18/focus/15459372&sec=focus ah fuck I surely can't taste nice cendol or nicer wantan mee in NY ..it's people like him which is a problem who can't see good out of all things. Skyprince October 6th, 2006, 06:12 AM Subangite If you want to make negative remarks about KL and Malaysia please do it in MAMAK and write them in Bahasa not in English because I think it`s very childish to expose our bad points to the international community. You are scaring tourists away and it would end up in a huge damage to 300 000 families whose life relies on tourism industry. Plz don`t make any dangerous remarks from now on. Ive been to Brisbane many times but I found KL much well-organized, colourful , and nice-looking. KL is a very modern, COOL, developed very fast...a REAL PARADISE ! rembau1958 October 6th, 2006, 08:55 PM One should be ready to receive accolades as well as brickbats, be it from within or without. If we deserve the brickbats, fine, deal with it by addressing it. No point in trying to pretend there is no problem. If we do not deserve it, then educate. If it still persists, then who cares about what the author thinks. There are more important matters in life. I can't believe the last few postings here, seeing it degenerating into spiteful name calling and profanities and seemingly taking on a life of its own. Please cease and desist before it spirals out of hand.:nono: Leeigh October 7th, 2006, 12:41 AM ditto Rembau. I do apologize for losing my cool a little, yeah I was a lil upset when someone bashes KL and makes other cities in the world 'perfect'. Yes I am gay and all that but it is a sexual orientation and NOt a lifestyle and as far as that goes...KL is safer than most cities in America, comparing KL to Miami...south beach, the party Mecca or north america...they were numerous counts of gay bashing and one would not feel safe walkin down the streets in fear of being attacked...and forget name callings and all that. What is more important to me is family value and respect for each other in a society, that's it. Granted 'salesgirls' in KL aren't friendly but do they play a crucial role in making your day a pleasant one? Speakig of Miami...supposed to a melting pot of different cultures...well not quite. it is utterly segregated, the city is corrupted and public transportation sucks. We had the metrorail which is similar to Putraline way before KL and still at one line..and a damn short one! On that note...my apology for throwing words like 'arrogant', shallow' and 'stupid'..that was very immature of me but I sure did'nt call anyone 'dick'. peace. Lastresorter October 7th, 2006, 01:37 PM Peace to all :) On a happier note, these pics show a different skyline from that dominated by Petronas Twin Towers :) This is a skyline dominated by Menara Telekom :D http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3195/pantai01nt2.jpg http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/303/pantai03jc1.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1299/pantai04nk4.jpg pedang October 7th, 2006, 06:10 PM Downtown Streets by Amit Ghosh http://static.flickr.com/63/195972600_c1a5eeb014.jpg?v=0 pedang October 9th, 2006, 07:44 AM by johaidi_idrus http://static.flickr.com/92/263061999_7d84da2040_o.jpg alsen October 9th, 2006, 01:54 PM by johaidi_idrus http://static.flickr.com/92/263061999_7d84da2040_o.jpg stunning...:eek2: :eek2: Subangite October 10th, 2006, 11:04 AM http://static.flickr.com/92/263061999_7d84da2040_o.jpg What a beauty, the composition, the use of colours, the contrast of lines and shapes! Wow! This should be an SSC banner for KL or Malaysia. Last note, I don't agree with people rating the KL skyline as a 4.5, ^^ this picture above definately exemplifies why for me it's not, but this is me. We all need and should respect people who differ in their views, people who do actually rate it a 4.5 . To argue that they are wrong is an untenable position, its purely subjective, your opinions can't be right because when it comes to opinions there is no right. You should accept the negative views especially when the subject matter is based on aesthetics, when there is subjectivity. Its about being tolerant and not bashing others who think differently. Salams and have a good ramadhan. forrestcat October 10th, 2006, 11:17 AM I love that pic too,best pic of KL ever, tried to make it as the background of my desktop but its still too small.... Manila-X October 10th, 2006, 11:23 AM Definitely KL doesn't deserve less than an 8. It's more 9.5 to me! Lastresorter October 10th, 2006, 11:27 AM Another pic by the same photographer that I find to be really stunning. http://static.flickr.com/97/250246421_2560f9c1d1_o.jpg forrestcat October 10th, 2006, 12:53 PM ^That skyline will have a killer view once the 4 Season Tower, K Avenue,Plaza Rakyat ,Lot C and other u/c skyscrapers are finished :runaway:.

OUr problems are not really unique to us and there are no perfect city or country in this universe. We shouldn't pretend. :) As for Subangnite.....go get a life lah! Stop 'infiltrating' with us Malaysians and go kacau others lah. Just because you do not participate in the Malaysian forums anymore doesn't mean that you could go around everywhere name calling us whom do not conform with your cynical view on our country. If you dislike Malaysia so much then just leave us alone. We are some pathetic creature whom love to stay in this God-forsaken country. Just leave us.......thanks! :D We might not have the friendliest check out sales girl nor the greatest personal liberties, but this is my home. Yea....many people left but there are those whom are desperate to be Malaysians. To those whom had left: GOOD LUCK! To those whom are staying here but not too happy.....well......you could either whine whole day about it or do something about it. Be a politician or something! Or chicken out of Malaysia the easy way like some people. :D Just to clear the air a lil.......yea.......some Malaysians are rude. But there are always bad apples in a basket. If we are so rude, I am sure we would be famous for being rude. But we aren't. Studies like those carried by the Reader's Digest may have certain methologies that aren't suitable for local culture. Yes......we have discrimitory archaic homophobic laws (more of a colonial legacy actually) but have you seen anyone being jailed or rotan because they are homosexual in Malaysia? Please do not give Anwar Ibrahim as an answer as we know that is a political case yea :D Subangite October 11th, 2006, 05:39 PM Thanks Rembau1958 for your wise words! :okay: IMO Leeigh might be a bit overzealous with patriotism and defending his true home but it is allright as he had APOLOGISED :yes: Yeah.......apology is important these days as many famous (and stubborn) personalities had failed to do so even as their mistake stared right back at them. ;) And how did Leeigh come to this apology? After I had to point out the error of his way is bashing people who rate a skyline what they deemed fair! To bash one person on his aesthetic opinions is bad but he bashed them twice in a row with double posts! I had to step in, hey I'm still a Malaysian, I just wanted to say this sort of intolerant behaviour is not reflective of me. So Fine end of story he has apologised, thats all great, but would he have apoligised if attention wasn't drawn to it? Thanks for the personal attacks Szehoong and Hypermount! patchay October 11th, 2006, 06:35 PM Hi I gave my home, KL 9.5! I believe KL has the best skyline in SEA and one of the best in Asia. By 2010-2015, the skyline will even be better. http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2444/klskyline9eu.jpg Comparing KL in 1990 and now...the skyline has grown tremendously. The interesting thing is that KL city population is only 2 million or so. Still, there are rooms for KL to improve. I guess we need more internationally recognised buildings. From what I've read, over the last few years KL has done a wonderful job in promoting its new developments, especially luxury condos. Increasing demand for luxury condos will encourage developers to build taller and taller condos, thus improving the skyline. gabrielbabb October 12th, 2006, 03:55 AM i'm me!! szehoong October 12th, 2006, 04:59 AM And how did Leeigh come to this apology?

YOu're welcome Subangnite! :) Have you ever wondered why everytime you decide to step into a thread, a relatively peaceful thread would just be argumentative. While your intention maybe noble, however it is your way of saying things should be improved on. I do not condone what Leeigh had done but at least one knew that his intention isn't all that bad and again just that the overzealousness in his replies. However such behavior is rare coming from our friend. But yours? Well you have always jumped into a thread with much hostility with much consistency. And you? You have never apologised.......as far as I could remember that is. Its like the 'pot calling the kettle black'. Leeigh October 12th, 2006, 06:20 AM And how did Leeigh come to this apology? After I had to point out the error of his way is bashing people who rate a skyline what they deemed fair!

Yes I did say I was gonna cease comunicating with you brother Subangite but quite honestly, you sure have a lot of unsettled isues and refused to move on and be content. If apology wasn't enough..what else you want me to do? I apologized Not because you stepped in brother, I did it because I realised that my patriotism was thrown off balance a bit. My 'bashing' as you called was my own personal opinion of what the 2 foreign forumers had to say and I took offense of them because I felt that it was more of an 'insult', again it was my opinion...read again what they had to say of KL and you'll see why but I was dumbfounded when you jumped in to their 'rescue' and totally assaulted me...I sure called them 'arrogant' and 'stupid' and yup that was out of line and I admit it, but if was mature enough of you to call me 'dick'. Again I admit for being reckless but I apologized but you still dispute that? Okay if you want credit...I give it to you brother. Leeigh October 12th, 2006, 06:34 AM To all Malaysian forumers, I apologize for all the troube and was not my intention to reflect badly of our forumers. In all honesty I agree some with Subangite but dude gotta simmer down a lil. I have seen his posts and I think he is a proud Malaysian (or semi?) just that in my opinion he thinks that KL and Malaysia in general need to have a major overhaul in politics and civil rights and all that...but unfortunately that is a slow process. Subangite, believe me...I am gay and muslim some more bro..but I sooo miss home and 07, I' am there! and look forward to meet everyone in person! and maybe you too..if you ever want to, would be a pleasure. On that note..I do not wish to severe ties between forumers and hope that we continue to get along. Peace. johnsonooi October 12th, 2006, 05:43 PM Ouch!........... Ok guys, i think we should ignore subangnite and keep on our ratings.....There is no point to debate with him anymore. The more you debate, the more he will fight back and our poll thread will just full of his arguments. Let get back to our topic.....
