Just a quick one today, we went into the main shopping area did a bit of shopping and then the rip offs started.the taxi drivers are just thieves, they wont use their meters if they can aviod it. One tried to charge me 15myr to the tower I finally got one to use a meter and it was 7myr. The return journey they wanted 27myr, I found a another one who used the meter and it was 10myr any tourist is fair game.
To top the day off I was travelling on the monorail and a pickpocket got my wallet,The police said extremly common
