Shopping Malls in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

Here's a list of shopping malls both nearest or easy accessible by Grabcar from my humble Airbnb which you can visit for a shopping spree. Malls in Malaysia is open from 10am to 10pm unlike some other countries so you can walk till you drop. In this guide, I've included prime malls which you can visit. I've rated it by stars with some information to let you have a better idea of what to expect. If you see 5 stars, it means the shopping mall is an all-rounder mall that is big and covers all categories. Literally anything can be found in a 5 star mall. There might be some malls that i've left out because i don't think it's worth the visit but if you've come across one that you like, do let me know.
