Home to over 1.4 million inhabitants, KL plays host to the world's tallest twin buildings (Petronas Twin Towers), colonial edifices such as Dataran Merdeka, and plenty of inner-city greenery. Although you'll frequently hear the adhan (call to prayer) coming from mosques, it's easy to forget KL's Islamic roots once you hit the city's nitty-gritty sights. It is these spots - thriving hawker centres, pre-war shop-houses and a colourful jumble of street markets - that define KL and draw in countless visitors every year. From Petaling Street's faux-label laden avenue and Little India's colourful, culture- rich wares to the breathtaking view from the Twin Towers' Skybridge and a variety of temples, KL has something for everyone.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) photograph courtesy of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad 2 Kuala Lumpur – an Asian gem Over the past decade, Asia has demonstrated not just growing influence in the global economy, but increasingly has emerged as an alternative engine of growth, surging ahead of the West.

It has strengthened its prowess, now backed by economic powerhouses China, India and Southeast Asia. Asia’s attractiveness to foreign investors can be attributed to a number of reasons: as a whole, the region is rich in natural resources, is home to a large population Tan Theng Hooi offering attractive consumer market potential, and offers capabilities in diverse Country Managing Partner economic activities which includes high-value service industries such as banking, Deloitte Malaysia telecommunications, oil and gas, healthcare, education and tourism. As the world began to turn its attention to this bright spot amid the gloom, the question arises: where in Asia should investors be regionally headquartered?
