One of the main risks of walking around Kuala Lumpur is the ever-present threat of bag-snatchers. The local police and city council are taking the matter seriously as can be evidenced by this sign!
I'm sure it would make potential snatch-thieves think twice about taking another poor victims belongings...The high risk areas seem to be around Bukit Bintang and Changkat Bukit Bintang and both of these streets now have a more visible police prescence.
The parking jockeys along Changkat Bukit Bintang have been known to chase-down culprits and administer a little street-justice.
To be honest,I haven't heard of an instance for quite a while so the extra policing may be working...or maybe it's under-reported.
Anyway,it pays to be a little street-wise when walking around any city in the world,Kuala Lumpur is no different.
Meanwhile...
If you decide to go to the park,the sign above tells you what you can't do!
Perhaps a sign telling you what you can do would be easier to understand....
