The influxes of foreign workers and expatriates coming to live in Kuala Lumpur have made the city even more diverse. Jalan Silang in Kuala Lumpur looks like many of the streets around the Masjid Jamek Light Rail Transit (LRT) station that is full of old shop houses. Yet, among the mamak shops and Chinese grocery stores there are mini marts, which cater to people from Myanmar and Nepal.

As you walk down the busy street, you can hear Burmese and Nepali spoken, it is little wonder this place is nicknamed "Little Nepal and Myanmar".
