What do people like (and dislike) about Shah Alam?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Shah Alam, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Shah Alam, for its affordable cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the city's modern infrastructure, including reliable public transportation and good internet connectivity, which makes it easy for them to work remotely. The city's diverse and delicious food scene, featuring a mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian cuisines, is another major draw for expats and digital nomads. Additionally, they enjoy the city's green spaces, such as the Shah Alam Lake Gardens and Taman Botani Negara, which provide a peaceful escape from the urban hustle. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the hot and humid climate of Shah Alam, which can be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical weather. They may also find the language barrier to be a challenge, as not everyone speaks English fluently, making it difficult to communicate and navigate daily life at times. The city's conservative culture may also be a downside for some, as it may limit nightlife and entertainment options. Lastly, traffic congestion can be an issue in Shah Alam, which can be frustrating for those who rely on private transportation," said a member in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
