KL Sentral 5:30 AM - Head off from the hotel, take a cab (since the KL Sentral only opens at 6:00AM) that will take you to the Petronas Towers (KLCC Station if you are taking the MRT). Before 6:00AM taxis charge double, it is not a legal thing but has become a practice among cab operators. They would charge you double from what the meters read. Or, they would overcharge you to get to your desired destinat...
