## TikToker claims KL is a safer city compared to the US

"I was looking at some rent prices and you can rent something like a nice two bedroom apartment in a high-rise in a really nice part of town for just USD600 (RM2,793.48) a month.

"Kuala Lumpur is also a pretty developed city...great food, great malls, great culture. Very safe compared to somewhere like Latin America, where you can find similar prices.
