Waze for Traffic

Waze is essential in KL traffic. It's community-driven so real-time traffic jams, roadblocks, and speed traps are reported by other Malaysian drivers.

Dual SIM Ready

Many Malaysians use dual SIM phones - one for data (Digi/Maxis/Celcom) and one for calls. Apps like WhatsApp work great with Malaysian numbers.
