Kuala Lumpur - Moving soon.

[Silibilimili]

Is there anyone in KL that can help me with the following questions. I am moving there in November this year with DH, and 2 DCs. DD1 is 4 and DD2 is 1.

What are the better areas to live there?
What schools are good?
What is public transport like if we decide not to buy a car?
How do I get hold of a nanny or home help?
What should I pack from here? (We currently own our property in the UK. We plan to be in KL for between 3-5 years. We have an option to take our furniture but I would rather not if it means more hassle. Anyone with any experience?

I posted on MN before but I think I posted in the wrong section so did not get a response. Hoping someone can help me.

mrsbucket, u seem to have given up. Don't u want to be in kl with DH? Or are visas very difficult to get? Apologies I don't mean to be rude. Sorry if I am.

of course i want to be with dh, but its better for us to be here.

he will be working 6 days a week any way and 7 every third week. so he wont see the children that much anyway, i would be on my own mostly with two small children.

i know its best for me and the children to be in the uk.

its not just about visas.

i just wish he could gind a job of equal pay and length here.

I have said, and mean exactly the same about pets. Much as I loved them, I am so glad to not have any any more, and no way will I be going down that route again for a VERY long time.

Not a fucking chance Thjumb you stirrer. The cats are packing their furry bags next week. NO MORE PETS.
I don't think we've ever had visa problems before. Seems Malaysia will be our first time.
