Petaling Jaya is a convenient base for digital nomads 🇲🇾💻 It offers fast internet, plenty of cafés, coworking spaces, malls, and easy access to Kuala Lumpur. The city is well connected by rail and ride-hailing, with lots of food options and modern amenities. It’s urban, practical, and often more affordable than central KL 🌆
