About Me

ABOUT ME

I've visited KL often in my work as an author of Lonely Planet's Malaysia guides. Pretty much the first person I touch base with on each visit is Alex: he is an incredible source of information on the city and seems to know everyone, everywhere.

If doors need opening, places ferreting out, or introductions made, Alex is your man. His long experience in the worlds of Malaysian contemporary art and popular culture, and reporting on current affairs and business as a journalist translates into one very clued up guide.

- Simon Richmond, writer of Lonely Planet Guide Book for Malaysia and Singapore.
