Morning traffic thins as the driver slips past glass towers and colonial facades; you step out beneath the Petronas Twin Towers, the steel ribs of the city catching the first light. The day moves between contrasts — manicured KLCC park, the Moorish clock tower at Merdeka Square, and the cavernous mouth of Batu Caves where 272 steps climb toward a limestone cathedral.
