Known as the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur has an abundance of attractive places that could fascinate not only international but also local tourists.

By filtering the keywords of selected tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur, which are “KL Tower”, “KLCC” and “Pasar Seni”, the public discourse and opinion on the selected places could be gathered from the social media sphere.

From the social network analysis, few cluster leaders have emerged. While ezzahnor provided her opinion on dining at KL Tower, _NazriH and JalanCutiSantai expressed their amazement at a fashion show hosted by a local brand, Bulan Bintang at KL Tower.

The tweets related to the Bulan Bintang fashion show have gained significant attraction in the social media sphere.

However, the cluster leaders that mentioned KLCC are found to be diverse. An account, myjassaramli has tweeted her experience dining at a fast-food restaurant in KLCC.

Meanwhile, JatIkhwan has praised a local animator, Sofyank for doing better in promoting Malaysia as he managed to include KLCC in his recent video shoot with a well-known international actor.

On cluster leaders that mentioned Pasar Seni, one of the users, danialharries has warned those at MRT Pasar Seni to be careful as he had been sexually harassed by a man.

The accessibility of public transport in a region would provide convenience to its residents, especially for those to commute to go to work.

Despite Subang Jaya being among the important economic hubs in the country, some of the businesses, either formal or informal sector, barely have access to public transportation, as could be seen from the map below.

As Subang Jaya continues to be among the developed cities in Malaysia, the region is found to be dominated by formal sector businesses compare to the informal sector.

Looking deeper into the formal sector in the Subang Jaya municipality, it was found that the city is centralized in the construction, manufacturing, and retail industry.

Moreover, the city also offers more jobs in sales and marketing specialization. This is then followed by admin and human resources as well as accounting and finances.

In terms of the salary range, it is discovered that the computer and IT industry has the widest range and the largest median salary distribution.

Further analysis of companies and job titles located in Subang Jaya municipality shows that the sales executive position has the most demand in the city. This is then followed by the admin assistant position.

Being one of the important economic hubs in the country, Kuala Lumpur has become the focal point of the informal sector due to the city’s accessibility and facilities.

As could be seen from the network of informal sectors in Kuala Lumpur, most of the informal sector entities are concentrated within the company, MRT feeder bus, and stations.

Meanwhile, the informal sector entities located within 500 meters of the schools in Kuala Lumpur has relatively few connections, indicating that the location is less likely to be a hotspot for informal businesses.

Further analysis of the informal sector in Kuala Lumpur shows that most of the entities are concentrated around the MRT stations in Damansara.

This indicates that the informal entities in Damansara are easily accessible to the public, which could boost their business.

Meanwhile, the informal sector businesses’ presence around the formal entities in Kuala Lumpur shows that they are highly concentrated within the corporate companies within 1 kilometer distance.

While Sabak Bernam is known for its agricultural activities, specifically rice cultivation, the informal sector in the Selangor district continues to grow.

The map shows the overall distribution of the informal sector in the district. As Sungai Panjang DUN has the highest average population in Sabak Bernam, the area also has a high number of informal sector entities.

Breaking down the informal sector entities based on the type, it was discovered that the homestay business has dominated the sector in Sabak Bernam.

In terms of the connection of the informal sector with the points of interest (POIs) in Sabak Bernam, it is revealed that clinics and hospitals are concentrated with the informal sector entities within a 500m radius.

Besides clinic and hospital, the formal company is the next POIs that are mostly connected with the informal sector entities in Sabak Bernam within a 500m radius.

Dissecting the connection between clinic and hospital with the informal sector, Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Sabak Bernam is found to have the most connection and is nearby to informal sector entities within a 250m radius.

Nonetheless, with Sabak Bernam now spurring with agrotourism, it is expected that the informal sector will experience growth parallelly possibly uplifting the district’s economy further.

Famously known as the nation’s rice bowl, Sabak Bernam’s tourism industry has yet to be fully developed.

Equipped with its own uniqueness, it has paved the way for the homestay owners to spur as it is widely scattered through the district as shown.

Further analysis shows that despite agriculture being the principal economic activity, significant numbers of tourist hotspots have also been recorded, further highlighting the untapped potential.

Among all, it is found that Pasar Sungai Haji Dorani is surrounded by most homestays that are within the walking distance of 500m possibly due to the urban dwellers’ crave for fresh seafood cuisines.

While Sekinchan is well known for its far-stretch paddy fields, in terms of accommodation, it appears that for mukim, Pancang Bedena, north of Sekinchan become the most concentrated tourist activity for the district.

In terms of accommodation ratings, the most number of ratings that Sekinchan acquired is the 4-star ratings. Meanwhile, for Sungai Panjang, the area acquired the same number of ratings for 4-star and 3-star.

As the informal sector continues to grow alongside other industries in Kuala Lumpur, certain areas in the city become more and more dense with informal sector businesses.

Informal sector listings are shown to have shadowed even residential points of interest (POIs) in certain areas of Kuala Lumpur.

Homestay being revealed to be the single largest component in Kuala Lumpur’s informal sector listings, potentially reflecting the rise of staycation in Kuala Lumpur.

Bukit Bintang is revealed to have the highest number of informal sector listings, particularly the intersection of Bukit Bintang with Titiwangsa and Cheras.

Informal entities are found to be even more concentrated with the MRT system via its feeder bus and stations than Kuala Lumpur’s residential POIs.

A deeper look at which public transportation POIs that informal sector entities are nearby establish the MRT stations in Damansara to have the highest concentration.

Town planning for Kuala Lumpur is a continuous problem, especially for its areas with high urban poor density.

Lembah Pantai and Batu are found to have the highest density of urban poor, reflected by its concentration of public housing (PPR), which also face low public transportation availability.

Both districts’ residential property distribution show similar prominence of high-rise buildings such as condominiums and serviced residences.

The proximity of the two districts’ private accommodations with public transportation are largely at least 400m away, with the situation being slightly better in Lembah Pantai.

A substantial number of the districts’ residential properties are located within flood-prone areas, where issues are again noticeably better with Lembah Pantai compared to Batu.

As such, this highlights the issues faced by town planning for the urban poor in Kuala Lumpur, in particular those living in Batu and Lambah Pantai.

Healthcare in Langkawi extends to ensure the safety of the many tourists that flock to the island, but not many of its doctors have extensive experience.

The mukim with the most clinics and hospitals in Langkawi is Kuah, which contrasts with Padang Mat Sirat with many of its tourist attractions found far from any healthcare facility.

A substantial proportion of doctors in Langkawi are shown to specialize in emergency medicine, reflecting preparation to deal with unexpected incidents involving tourists.

However, most of its doctors do not appear to have extensive experience, with a relatively small number of doctors in Langkawi having 10 years of experience or more.

This is reflected in the salary range for Langkawi’s healthcare practitioners, which has the widest range reaching RM10,00 but has a comparatively low median of between RM2,000 and RM3,000.

Langkawi shows preparation to ensure the safety of tourists, although some difficulties may exist in widespread emergencies due to lacking many extensively experienced doctors, especially in Padang Mat Sirat where tourist attractions are far from healthcare facilities.

Companies and jobs in Langkawi are tailored to the tourism industry, but the industry’s importance is yet to be reflected in the workers’ salaries despite the island’s international hospitality status.

As the tourism industry becomes more prominent in Langkawi, companies are largely found near tourist attractions, likely tailored to tourists’ needs.

The mukim with the highest number of companies is Kuah, where almost all of the companies are close to tourist attractions.

Most jobs in Langkawi are unsurprisingly in the hotel/restaurant industry, which is followed by sales/marketing and admin/human resources.

Despite their essential role, however, hotel/restaurant workers are found to have a relatively low median salary of below RM2,000.

The company in Langkawi providing the largest number of these jobs is revealed to be Marriott International, the international hospitality brand leader.

2022 has been erratic for Malaysia as the nation faced political chaos. Along with the external economic factors namely the supply disruptions from the Covid-19, Ukraine-Russia and OPEC curring oil production, this has impacted the country's inflation. Analysts around the world had also warned of an incoming recession in 2023.

Although the political heat in Malaysia has simmered down after the formation of the unity government, Malaysia still has to brace through economic challenges in 2023 as the recession is most likely to happen.
