All this makes me wonder if the security situation in KL has really

Presumably as you have a Malaysian wife you have been/lived her before so you
know the previous situation.

I've also been here on & off (mostly on) since 1982, and I still feel safe
doing my normal activities. I still get money from ATMs at night if
necessary. I lock my doors when i drive, but I've always done that. I put my
wallet in my front pocket when I go to Petaling Street or similar places, but
that's about it.

As someone else said - take the normal precautions & you'll be fine. I got
robbed (pickpocketed) in Paris a couple of years back after only 3 hours in
the country! :-) I'm sure they can spot the tourists a mile away.
I've never been robbed or even really had any problems in more than 17 years
in Malaysia.
