The main difficulty any visitor will find when in Semporna is the language as the population mainly is Bajau. Many local people in Semporna live in sprawling stilt villages over the water on the outskirts of Semporna town.

Although Alor Setar has been accorded the status of a city but in comparison with other cities in Malaysia, there still are lots of improvement to be done. Nevertheless Alor Setar remains as one of the cities in Malaysia with low living cost. It is relatively easy to find a meal which costs below RM2.00 and a drink for less than RM1.00. For the past 2 years, a handful of 7-Eleven convenience store have mushroomed throughout the city of Alor Setar. However, one is yet to find Starbuck or Coffee Bean in Alor Setar…
