KL is a scary place, and their Airline is even scarier. Actually, scary is not really a word I use too much. Creepy is more like it. The airline, at 8AM in the morning, serves you breakfast in 1st class, and they make it a point to remind you several times that smuggling children is not allowed in Malaysia. Basically, instead of, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching <destination>..." - they say, "Ladies and gentlemen, just a reminder that it is illegal to smuggle children in or out of Malaysia." Now, back to the breakfast. They give you a box and it contains some random items like a Snickers bar, moist towelette, apple. Very strange place. For those of you who've been, you know why it took them five hours to report.
Regardless, God speed and prayers up.

Seriously? I've been to KL several times, their airport is ultra modern, one of the best in the world, nothing scary about this place.
Isn't the US immigration form asking if you have ever kidnapped a US child or commit genocide? http://www.immihelp.com/visas/i-94w.html

I can't say I find KL scary. It is a relatively clean modern SE Asian city. But don't bring drugs.

I really don't know what you're on about to be honest.

If Malaysia has a problem with children being smuggled (in or out) and the airline is being open about it, that's quite commendable. Asia is a land of great disparity in living conditions, and will need to rules adjusted to the situation. So while I wouldn't call it creepy/scary, I can understand the context in which you might have used it.
The airline lost contact at 2.40am and they only issued their first statement at 7:24am.
