Attending Global Halal Summit (GHaS)?

GHaS 2025 was hosted at two locations: Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC, Kuala Lumpur — Malaysia's largest exhibition centre) for the main programme, and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur for selected VIP sessions and gatherings. Note: the DB row currently lists 'Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre' as venue — this may be a row-quality issue if 2026 venue stays as MITEC. Flag for editorial review.

Integrated rail — MRT, LRT, Monorail and the free GOKL city bus cover the centre, all interchanging at KL Sentral.

Touch 'n Go card (buy/reload at any station) works across all rail lines and the GOKL bus.

Use Grab rather than hailing street taxis — fixed up-front pricing avoids fare disputes.
