There is enough police presence in the Bukit Bintang area, especially in Low Yat Plaza, and so all shops should be allowed to be opened, police said today.

Bukit Bintang is therefore safe for all, tourists and locals alike, police ensured today.

"There is heavy police presence and we are allowing all shops to open. It is safe, I can say that with confidence,” Kuala Lumpur police chief Tajudin Md Isa said.
