TikToker claims KL is a safer city compared to the US
In the clip uploaded by the TikToker who goes by the name of @anti.prophet on Instagram, he shared how he thinks KL is a much affordable and safer place 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.
