To be honest, I am quite surprised with the rankings of certain cities. Beijing is not even in the list and Shanghai barely making it at the 100th spot. Dubai’s ranking is quite low seeing that it’s the world’s fastest emerging tourist destination. And several cities like Tunis and Papeete making it into the top 100 list is an eye opening sight indeed.

Kuala Lumpur being at 75th position, I am actually quite happy, to be honest. We’ve over taken many other major and even larger and more developed Asian cities leaving only Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore that are above us. For once, and rarely do I do this, but I have to say well done to our government for making our lives in Kuala Lumpur comfortable.

Obviously, from the list, you can see that the top spots are dominated by European cities and topping them all with Switz cities like Zurich and Geneva. Looks like Zurich has emerged to be the world’s most outstanding city being the most liveable city, the richest city in the world and also at the same time one of the most expensive to live in (5th place). Refer to this post for more information.

So, here’s where Kuala Lumpur stands. We’re the cheapest (1st place) city to live in, the 55th richest city in the world and the 75th most liveable city in the world. I guess we aren’t doing that bad compared to other cities in Asia. Well done!
