KL celebrates the richness of its communities from all walks of life. But despite that, there are still many stories left untold. Every end of the month, I Love KL will explore their stories, reimagined by various talented writers in the city. We’re so used to voicing out our own thoughts on Kuala Lumpur, whether good or bad. But, have we ever thought about what Kuala Lumpur might say about us? This week, we feature two short stories about KL, from the perspective of ‘KL’ herself. "Who am I am KL" is written by Aizuddin H. Anuar, while "A Letter from KL to a Leaving Resident" is written by Chiew Hui Lin.

In KL, it may sometimes seem as though we are drowning in a vast concrete jungle with no room to let one's creativity flourish. This is where the Cratze Art studio comes in. Founded by Debbie Yap, a firm believer in the phrase “anyone can make art”, she uses her studio to let people of all ages let out their inner Picasso using unique, messy and fun techniques. Debbie speaks out about her passion for unearthing people’s hidden creativities and how she thinks the art scene in KL can improve.

Out of the bustling metropolitan of Lyon, France to the stage of the Kuala Lumpur International Festival comes the Bon Voyage! Inspired by the famous Orient Express, the story centres around how three travellers try to communicate with each other in spite of the language barriers.

On the 31st of August 1957, Tunku Abdul Rahman declared our nation’s independence in front of the backdrop of Dataran Merdeka, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Designated as a National Heritage site in 2007, the building holds a special place in Malaysian history. Originally housing New Government Offices, and then the higher courts for a period of time afterwards, the iconic building has served many roles, and has been around longer than our young nation has. For this special Merdeka episode of I Love KL, we delve deep into the significance of the building and its history.

Music is a diverse art form, with a huge number of subgenres and styles. It’s no surprise then that KL’s music scene is just as varied, ranging from singer-songwriters to electronic music producers to rock bands. This week, we talk to three musicians who are worlds apart - The Last One Awake, Alextbh and Azmyl Yunor - to show just how much of a mixed bag the local music scene can be.

100 years ago, port cities were the centre of everything; Klang was one of them, with ships coming in and traders selling their wares from around the world. Today, Klang sits on the outskirts of the Klang Valley, oft looked over in favour of the bustling capital. But many don’t realise that the city was instrumental in the development of KL into the modern metropolis it is today. This week, Haniff Baharuddin takes a walk with the Royal Klang Heritage Walk, uncovering the city's hidden gems and discovering its quiet history.

Once upon a time, tattoos had a very negative stigma, in the eyes of the general public. If you have a tattoo, you're assumed to either be a part of a triad, or a delinquent. But is that stigma still relevant today? Or has the society learned to be a bit more appreciative of tattoos as a unique form of art? Julian Oh and Taco Joe, of the Wayang Kulit Tatu, helped shed some light on the ink scene, at the recent Wayang Kulit Tattoo Show.
