It was widely acknowledged that YTL played a significant role by persuading the government to remove the high duties of branded goods and also to allow the fast tracking of the Bintang Walk pedestrian walk which is enjoyed by 50 million tourists and Malaysians yearly.

Three of the Kuala Lumpur's Top 20 Restaurants listed by CNN Travel are housed in YTL Properties in the city Centre. Shanghai Restaurant in JW Marriott, Enak in Starhill Gallery and Kim Lian Kee in Lot 10 Hutong are a must-try for a satiating culinary experience.
