Being in a prime location, as time passed, it grew to become one of the top 5 locations advised for tourists to visit. Today, in current times, tourists proceed there to get almost anything under the sun there for reasonable and cheap prices.

Anyone would be able to see and choose from a wide variety of CD’s ranging from movies to music to computer games. These would easily be attainable from the range of RM 5 to RM 10. Despite the inability to try it out, loads of customers return home with bags of CD’s.

Second reason some head there, particularly men is for prostitutes. These streets are overflowing with staircases that lead to wooden panel rooms where a quick round could be attainable at low prices starting from RM 25 per round. Despite what people think, most of their customers are foreigners as the locals know them not to be sexually safe and have to danger of spreading HIV and other diseases.
