Where is the cityscape in this recent photo, probably in Malaysia?

Accepted answer

This is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, taken from a building just opposite the Kuala Lumpur City Hall.

Here is the closest Google Street View I could get (click to get to Street View):

Note that you can barely see the top of the Petronas towers above the red building in the middle, like in your picture. The building with the blue roof also aligns with the AIA building like yours.

It's evidently taken from a higher location, so most certainly this building (click to get to Google Maps):

On your picture, you can see:

  • Kuala Lumpur City Hall
  • AIA Capsquare
  • The Petronas Towers
  • Menara Kuala Lumpur observation tower

The railway visible is shared by the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines.

Sadly, there's no decent 3D satellite view in Google Maps or Apple Maps for Kuala Lumpur.

Here's a link to a photo probably taken from the same place, but sadly towards the ground: https://goo.gl/maps/JvfupeuRoXxSRK757
