Internet keeps on cutting off in the room. Best spot in lobby.

The rates were quoted in Malaysian currency on the website, but they charged me in US currency. US currency is 3 times the rate of Malaysian currency. They are, well shall I say, thieves? Hard to believe coming from a Christian organization, isn't it? HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET!
