News & Reviews:   kuala lumpur

Yup, you read the headline correctly. We aren't kidding with this latest 5G analysis report by Opensignal. It was only published yesterday and we are just as surprised as you to find out that Kuala Lumpur is in second place in terms of 5G download speed (Mbps). The charts are based on Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC)'s biggest cities. 

The 5G network coverage in Malaysia has recently expanded to 56 more locations throughout the country, including in Perak for the first time ever.

RapidKL has clarified that customers using its services during the month-long free ride period will have to either use a Touch ‘n Go card or collect tokens at the respective station’s customer service office.

Some of you may have heard of the AirAsia air taxi service, so here are some new updates about the potential transportation service. According to sources, the air taxi service will start from the KLIA to KL City back and forth.

If you haven't been to the city, YES by YTL Communications Sdn. Bhd. just announced its first-ever one-of-its-kind YES 5G Playground in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city.

If you had been on social media, you must have noticed that many areas around Kuala Lumpur are flooded due to pouring rain. For that reason, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has announced the closure of the power substations in these affected areas to ensure the safety of the people.

During the pandemic, it's unfortunate that most small business groups were forced to shut down due to the lack of financial support. In order to give back to the public, Facebook have started an initiative on providing financial support to current small business owners in this challenging time globally.

As you are all aware, the movement restriction order (MCO) has caused many things to change. The restriction meant that unless it's for purchasing essentials, most of us are going out at all. This is evident with the mobility trend reports published by Apple and Google recently.

Folks, how are y’all doing during the second phase of MCO? Have you gotten the time to do the things that you didn't get to finish during the normal days? While waiting for another announcement regarding the extension of MCO to happen on 10 April, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia has announced that all Kuala Lumpur areas that got infected with the Covid-19 are now labelled as red zones.
