What do people like (and dislike) about Ampang?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Ampang, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Ampang, due to its affordable cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the diverse and delicious food options available, ranging from local Malaysian cuisine to international dishes. The city's proximity to Kuala Lumpur is another advantage, as it provides easy access to various amenities, shopping centers, and entertainment options. The public transportation system, including the LRT, is convenient and efficient, making it easy to navigate the city. Additionally, the expat community in Ampang is quite large, making it easy for newcomers to make friends and find support. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the traffic congestion in Ampang, which can be quite severe during peak hours. The hot and humid weather can also be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical climates. Some may find the language barrier to be a challenge, as not everyone speaks English fluently, although most locals have a basic understanding of the language. Lastly, the internet speed and reliability may not be up to the standards of some digital nomads, potentially causing issues for those who rely on a stable connection for work," remarked another expat in Ampang, Malaysia.
