HI
Today my husband got an offer for a job in KL. We know very little about life as an expat there and a lot has changed since we lived in Hong Kong 8 years ago when it was just the 2 of us.
We have 2 kids (very white skin and red hair so will stand out a lot!) and have been researching how safe it is to live in KL with kids.
Every variation of a google search seems to bring up threads or articles about child kidnapping, car jacking, being held at gun point etc.
Is this really the reality of living there? Will the kids and I be safe walking on the streets and driving around without my husband?
We don't want to move to an amazing city like KL and then be stuck inside and unable to explore because we feel scared.
I'd appreciate some insight into what it's really like rather than relying on google which inevitably only brings up the negative stories.
thanks in advance
