shah alam
Shah Alam, Selangor’s state capital, is a modern township surrounded
at its periphery by Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and five other major
townships including Klang, Bangi, and Kajang. It enjoys a vantage
location being ideally located halfway between the national capital, KL,
and the viable Port Klang.
Hailed as one of the most well-planned cities, Shah Alam has most of
its residential area on one side of the Federal Highway and industrial
zones on the other. Hence, Shah Alam has been constructed according
to a blueprint drawn up with the environment at the forethought of the
planners. It has become a showpiece city of the future, free from the
inherent problems of haphazard development and shanty towns found
in other major growth centers.

about selangor
breakaway selangor
Selangor is the first developed state from the 13 states in Malaysia. It is
situated on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is bordered by Perak
to the north, Pahang to the east, Negeri Sembilan to the south and the
Straits of Malacca to the west.
The state boasts an area of approximately 8,000 sq. km and completely
surrounds Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city and Putrajaya, the Federal
Territory’s administrative centre. It is also fondly known as the Gateway to
Malaysia as the main entry points into Malaysia lie within its territories. The
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Kuala Lumpur Low Cost
Carrier Terminal (LCCT) welcome tourists travelling by air while Port Klang,
Malaysia’s largest and busiest port, welcomes visitors in the midst of the
hustle and bustle of trade and logistics businesses.
Shah Alam, Selangor’s capital city
Selangor’s capital is Shah Alam which is popularly known as a well-planned
township encompassing both modernity and greenery. Here, residential
areas and commercial buildings are set amidst lush landscapes and a large
lake. Several state government’s administrative buildings are located
around its town centre while several shopping malls have mushroomed
since the past decade, making this city busier than it already is.
Locals would call Shah Alam a city of roundabouts as you would come
across huge roundabouts at almost every 5km or so. Many students also
roam this city as the well-known Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) main
campus is set on 300 acres of land, here, with more than 40,000 registered
students and no less than 16,000 students staying in campus.
Due to Shah Alam’s close proximity to Port Klang and its well-planned
township, it also houses some of the busiest industrial sectors. The nation’s
New Straits Times Press Berhad, a large daily and media house has a
technologically advanced printing plant in this city while many other
established names in the world also has operation plants here.
6
Above all, Shah Alam is most famous for the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz
Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque. It is the largest mosque in
Malaysia and Southeast Asia, and its architecture integrates ethnic Malay,
Arabic and modern design elements.
The second township that was declared a city is Petaling Jaya. It was
awarded the city status on 20 June 2006, granting Selangor the only state
in Malaysia with two cities.
Petaling Jaya is a flourishing city with the largest population in the state.
Fondly known as, PJ, to the locals, it was developed by the British in 1952
as an answer to the overcrowded population in Kuala Lumpur. Since then,
PJ makes up Selangor’s urban centre which has been thriving with modern
facilities, healthcare institutions, international colleges and recreational
centres amidst residential areas.
Petaling Jaya and parts of PJ such as Subang Jaya, Sunway and Damansara
make up the urban centre of Selangor. Here, is home to the busiest and
most popular shopping centres in Malaysia (away from Kuala Lumpur) such
as One Utama, The Curve and Sunway Pyramid, some of the larger and
one-stop destination among shoppers and visitors, both local and foreign.
Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia’s premier theme park is also situated in the
urban centre, offering world-class facilities for hours of family fun and
excitement.
Public transportation and infrastructure are well developed in PJ. Buses ply
the routes around residential and shop-office areas, transporting
passengers mainly to and from the LRT (Light Rail Transit) stations.
A prominent landmark is probably the Kota Darul Ehsan Arch which marks
the boundary of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. It was erected on the
Federal Highway which was once the only route that connects Petaling
Jaya to Malaysia’s capital city. Due to the congestion on this highway,
many other links have been constructed as an alternative.

Petaling Jaya, home to the largest population
Klang, the state’s Royal town and more 32 km to the west of Kuala Lumpur
is Klang, another busy and crowded township. If you’re taking the Federal
Highway on a drive from Kuala Lumpur, you would pass by Shah Alam,
before you reach Klang.
breakaway selangor
Aside from being known as the royal capital, it houses Port Klang, the 13th
busiest transshipment port and the 16th busiest container port in the
world.
Klang may have gotten its name from the Klang River that runs from Kuala
Lumpur right up to Port Klang. Hence, the areas in between is aptly called,
the Klang Valley.
Among the locals, Klang is popular for its spread of delicacies – from
delicious hawker food to fresh, scrumptious seafood spread. Klang is also
home to the Mah Meri, an aborigines group in Carey Island that many are
not aware of other than their intricate and world-renowned impeccable
quality of handcrafted wooden masks.

Selangor is divided into nine administrative districts, consisting of:
Gombak
Hulu Langat

The Journey of Never-Ending Discovery
Selangor is not all about city life, busy areas and crowded towns. Away
from urban centres, a different, more refreshing scenes of rural villages
and serene coastlines quickly unfolds. On its north and south sides,
Selangor is dominated by fishing villages on the coast and the Kampung
inland. Heading east from Kuala Lumpur, lush greeneries from hills and
forests dominate.
Overall, Selangor is a state in Malaysia that is always ahead in many areas.
It contributes immensely to the country’s economy in trade, financials,
construction, transportation and manufacturing, apart from agriculture and
fisheries. Its advantageous geographic location and rich natural resources
have made Selangor the most prosperous state in Malaysia, with about 5
million inhabitants. With the country’s diverse culture and multi-faceted
population, Selangor offers an intricate abundance of uniqueness and
never-ending discovery.
9
history of selangor
During the early days, Selangor was said to be well-populated due to its
geographical factors where its network of rivers far reaches the rural areas.
With this advantage, the population of Selangor expanded and economic
ties were established with those outside of Selangor.
According to researchers, early historical developments of Selangor dated
as far back as 800-200 BC. This was proven from the discovery of artifacts
– bronze Dong S’on drums and three bronze bells, near Klang.
Selangor and its origin
How Selangor got its name is quite vague due to the many assumptions and
hearsay. The word, Selangor itself does not have any clear meaning in Bahasa
Melayu (‘Bahasa’ is language and ‘Melayu’ is Malay, the main race in Malaysia).
Therefore, the word, Selangor’ was thought to be a short-form, combination
of words or evolvement in enunciation throughout the years.
One tale mentioned of a mangrove swamp area known as Mentangau,
which was frequented by seafarers as their transit point. Hence, this
disembarkation point was called, Kuala Mentangau (‘Kuala’ means
confluence). As time went by, Kuala Mentangau became Kuala Selangor.
Other account described of a warrior who was resting and got annoyed of
a fly that kept landing on his nose. The fly is known as a ‘Langau’ in the
Malay Language. As he failed to kill it repeatedly, he became perplexed
at the fact that a warrior as strong as he was unable to kill a small fly. From
then on, he would refer to the area as ‘Selangau’ (the ‘Se’ is a short form
of ‘Satu’ or one).
Another opinion spoke of one tale of an area around the beaches of Kuala
Selangor which was the location of criminal serving their sentence.
Criminals were then tied on wooden stilts, also known as ‘salang’, and left
under the scorching hot sun (or ‘jemur’, in the Malay Language). Thus, the
combination of ‘salang’ and short-form, ‘ur’, made up a pronunciation
close to the state that is called today, Selangor.
Despite all these tale, history proved that Selangor got its name from a
settlement area, now known as Kuala Selangor.
Though Selangor’s early history is not clearly known, archeologists agree
that Selangor’s heritage runs way back over a century before the period of
the historical Malay Sultanate of Melaka.
breakaway selangor
It was written in early Malay history of a meeting between two Malay
leaders, Tun Jana Khatib and Tuan Jajahan Buguran, with Paduka Seri
Maharaja, the ruler of Singapore in the 14th century. Admiral Cheng Ho
also mapped out Selangor and Klang’s location in his map while Klang was
mentioned in a poetry written by a poet from Majapahit in 1365.
All these indicate how Selangor was well-known from back then and that
Klang played the role of its main trade centre.
Early Rulers
Tun Perak, Malacca Sultanate’s greatest Bendahara came from Klang and
was appointed its territorial chief in the 15th century. When Melaka fell to
the Portuguese in 1511, Selangor was ruled by Sultan Mahmud of Johor
where he established a kingdom in exile in the islands of Bintan.
When the Dutch displaced the Portuguese from Melaka in 1641, they
brought in Bugis mercenaries from Sulawesi, who eventually formed the
present Sultanate. Arung Pasarai was appointed by the Johor administration
to rule Selangor in the early 18th century, and awarded him the title,
Yamtuan. He was then succeeded by Raja Siti.
When Raja Siti passed away around 1730, Raja Lumu was named the ruler
of Selangor, carrying the Tuanku Raja Selangor title. He however, did not
have full control as ruler but was merely overseeing the administration of
the areas around Selangor River. In fact, the Johor government at that time
still deemed Selangor to be under Johor’s control.
In 1756, Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah, the Sultan of Johor, gave the
Dutch the rights to the tin mine in Selangor, Klang and Linggi, and wrote
to the respective chieftain to agree to the benefits awarded to the Dutch.
All three of them rejected the agreement.
In view of that, Raja Lumu obtained recognition from the Perak Sultanate
to free Selangor of any claims made by the Johor government. Thus, in
1766, Raja Lumu was installed by Sultan Mahmud, the Sultan of Perak as
the first Sultan of Selangor and was named, Sultan Salehuddin. With this,
Selangor became a sovereign state.

• Sultan Ibrahim Shah
(Raja Ibrahim; 1778-1826)
• Sultan Sir Abdul Samad
(Raja Abdul Samad; 1857-1896)

Sultan. It declares that the office of Sultan is vested with the executive
power of the state, is the head of the Islam religion in the state and
safeguards the customs and traditions of the Malay people in his state.
This position is hereditary and can only be held by a member of Selangor’s
royal family.

• Sultan Muhammad Shah
(Raja Muhammad; 1826-1857)
Selangor Civil War (1867-1873)
Since the early days, Selangor has grown as producer and trade centre of
tin under the Selangor monarchy. Chinese labourers were brought in
around mid 19th century to work the tin mines and Klang River played an
important role as a main port for the export of tin to western traders.
breakaway selangor
It was said, that the river got its name from the archaic Malay word, kalang,
which meant tin.
After the death of Sultan Ibrahim in 1826, Sultan Muhammad was installed
as the next ruler. Around 1850, he appointed Raja Abdullah as Klang’s
administrator and the latter leased Klang to two foreign traders in 1866 for
tax collection. Raja Mahdi, the son of the previous Klang chief felt
offended and refused to pay tax to the foreigners.
In 1867, Raja Mahdi gained the support of the Sumatran Malays who had
for generations, resented the Bugis chiefs. With that, they captured the
town of Klang where the Civil War began.
During this unrest, Tengku Kudin, brother of the ruler of Kedah married
Sultan Abdul Samad’s daughter in 1868. He was then appointed Viceroy
of the state and was responsible to administer that role on behalf of the
Sultan.
At this point, the Chinese tin miners have since established their own
secret societies, Ghee Hin and Hai San, and began feuding over control
of the mines. By 1870, they had both joined forces with the opposing
Malay chiefs – Ghee Hin had joined Raja Mahdi while Hai San cooperated
with Tengku Kudin and his army of 500 Kedah warriors and Bugis soldiers.
Yap Ah Loy, the influential Chinese kapitan who was responsible in the
early development of Kuala Lumpur after the war, joined sides with Tengku
Kudin.
14
During this time, the situation in Selangor had given a major blow to the
booming tin trade especially since Selangor was a world’s major tin
producer. Due to their increasing dependence on the economy of
Selangor, the British felt it was the right time to assert their presence and
reached out to Tengku Kudin as support.
The outcome of the war disappointed the royal family, which caused
economic turmoil and loss of mining investments, forcing the Sultan of
Selangor to accept a British Resident in 1974, to maintain prosperity and
harmony. The war ended and the British handed Kuala Selangor to the
charge of Tengku Kudin.
Selangor in the Colonial Era
The advent of British powers on Malaya and the introduction of a British
Resident have somewhat limit the powers of the Sultan and state chiefs.
The first State Council Meeting was held in 1877 where Sultan Abdul
Samad formed the Council according to the western methods with the
guidance of Douglas Bloomfield, the British Resident at that time.
In 1880, the Selangor administration shifted from Klang to Kuala Lumpur
and saw the decadence of administration power of the Malay leaders. The
British officers to over the administration duties and Tengku Kudin
stepped down upon realising that his influence dwindled.
In 1896, Selangor, along with Perak, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang was put
under the administration of a Resident General and was grouped under
the Federation of the Malay States (FMS).
15
breakaway selangor
Throughout the war, Tengku Kudin, a determined and persistent individual
obtained help from mercenaries and European officers from the Straits
Settlements and enlisted the help of Pahang’s Malay army to fight against
Raja Mahdi.
1909 saw another change when a Federal Council was formed, stripping
away the powers of a Sultan except for when they were required to
provide advise to the British officers on issues like the Malay adat and
Islamic religion.
breakaway selangor
The Sultan of Selangor and the respective Sultans of the member state of
FMS pulled out from the Federal Council in 1927, causing the British to
take additional measures to ensure larger control and powers awarded to
the Sultans. This went on until 1941 when the Japanese occupied Malaya.
A progressive state, post-independence
Selangor became part of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. It played a
very important role in the history of the development and progression of
Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur became the administration centre and the
reference point in trade, commercial and banking.
In 1974, an agreement between the state government of Selangor and the
Federation of Malaysia was signed for the establishment of the Federal
Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Selangor handed over Kuala Lumpur to the
federal government and identified a new area called, Simpang Renggam
as its new capital city. The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul
Aziz Shah then named the city, Shah Alam, after his late father.
Since then, Selangor continued to shine in many areas, partly due to the
economic concentration centered around Kuala Lumpur that is located in
the middle of Selangor.
In 2001, Putrajaya followed suit and joined Kuala Lumpur as a Federal
Territory.
Selangor is currently the most prosperous state in Malaysia and was
declared a modern state on 27 August 2005 where it continues to lead the
nation to greater heights.

facts
breakaway selangor
Malaysia is made up of three main ethnic groups, the Malays, Chinese
and Indians. The Malays make up the largest ethnic group in Selangor,
with about 53%. The Chinese come in second with almost 30% and the
Indians make up 13% of the total of Selangor’s population.
21
facts
Due to its strategic geographical position in the Peninsular Malaysia and
its vast contribution to the nation’s economic growth, Selangor
experienced an influx of foreign migrants as well as migrants from other
states in Malaysia. Foreign migrants consist of those from the
neighbouring country like Indonesia, and from countries further like the
Phillipines, Vietnam, Myanmar, China and Bangladesh.
breakaway selangor
Many of the migrants from other states who come to Selangor are from
rural areas. In fact, those living in urban areas have roots linking them
back to the rural areas. Therefore, despite the modern western influence
and technologically advanced environment, the rural bond in every city
dweller remains strong. Hence, the popular ‘Balik Kampung’ culture
which means going home to the village, is practiced at major festive
holidays of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Deepavali. Also
practised whenever possible at long weekends.
During the balik kampung period, major roads in major towns are almost
empty whilst some residential areas fall almost deserted. This is because
the balik kampung culture does not only affect one ethnic race in their
festive celebration. In fact, any races would take the opportunity to balik
kampung even if they do not celebrate that particular festivity.
Subconsciously, due to this strong bond to their roots, many of the
Selangor population still hold true to their traditional adat (the villagebased social system) and religious beliefs of their respective cultures.
With cultural values close to everyone’s hearts, family values are quite
strong as well. So much so that many youngsters still live comfortably
under their parents’ roof even after graduating from college and earning
a reasonable income at work. Some would cite taking care of old parents
but many would secretly admit that it is easier to live with their parents
as they can save for the occasional partying, a house of their own or
even splurge on an expensive car! Whatever the reasons, parents are
generally happy to know that they are aware of their children’s
whereabouts.
22
facts
Selangorians are also almost 100% literate, with English Language
easily spoken and understood as the subject is taught from pre-school
level. In a move to elevate Malaysia’s education scene, Mathematics
and Science in English was introduced in the Primary education level in
2003. Thus, English literacy is quite good in the state especially since
many families converse in English at home as well.
breakaway selangor
Back then, more than two decades ago, those in the urban centres are
as trusting and friendly as those in the rural areas. Children in the same
neighbourhood would converge in the late afternoon to play at open
fields usually located in the neighbourhood or simply to play hide and
seek, using nearby houses as a hiding location. Parents who return
home from work early would challenge the young for a game of
badminton, using the gate of their homes as ‘netting’.
As a natural progression of a third-world nation towards modernisation,
those living in the urban areas have evolved so much throughout the
years.
These days, with the much concern over cases of kidnapping of young
girls, snatch theft, global warming, and an increased emphasis in
producing excellent academic results, children no longer play freely and
adults preferring their privacy. Children are more often than not,
chauffeured to extra tuition classes, piano or ballet lessons. Furthermore,
with the urban population generally living a comfortable life and
bringing home an above average monthly earning, many prefer to stay
home with the computer or game consoles as their choice of recreation
or even spending quality weekend time with the family in one-stop
shopping malls all widely available in the state.
Malaysians just love to shop and that can be seen from the many large
shopping malls available in the state, all offering a one-stop shopping
destination where you can find almost anything under one roof, from
home decorations to gardening, accessories to attires, fast food to
fresh produce, books and music store - just about anything. The
shopping malls that exist in the state are as good as those in Western
countries, with many international and local brands available.
23
Those in the rural areas, however, lead a naturally slower pace and
more calming situation, much like how it was in the urban areas 20
years ago. Not much has changed in terms of cultural beliefs and
social ties, villagers always put much emphasis on collective
responsibility and maintaining a harmonious environment together.
breakaway selangor
facts
Selangor practically has every other types of ethnic group that exist in
Malaysia, from those who migrate due to work obligations to those
who come to Selangor for education. If lucky, one could easily learn
cultures and practises just by visiting Selangor.
The rich cultural mix of the three main races in Malaysia with their rich
background and heritage give a warm uniqueness to the racial mix in
the state. The exceptional cultural mix not only teaches everyone to
respect each other’s faith and beliefs but also brings out the best in
each other through diversities in many areas like food, language,
fashion, music and architecture. Best of all, the high level of
understanding also allows a bigger cross-cultural mix when marriages
among the different races happen, further radiating the distinction of
the people in Selangor.
Moreover, many cultural practices emanate influence from other races
making each culture correspond harmoniously. The best example
would be the ‘open house’ culture openly practiced by each race on
their respective religious celebrations. This is when a relevant race
welcome others into their home, be it neighbours, relatives or friends
from work which include members of other races. The host would in
turn, provide home-cooked food, always insisting that their guests
have more serving on their plates and do not expect any gifts from
guests. Instead, more often than not, the host will give away ‘duit raya’
(festive money, among the Malays) or ‘ang pow’ (festive money among
the Chinese) to selected groups. This is probably one way of breaking
cultural barriers, creating a more congruent atmosphere and foster
better understanding among each other. It is this unique tolerance
among races that has for decades contributed to the huge progress of
the nation.

facts
Basic handshake – A welcoming handshake when greeting
someone who is introduced to us or when we visit someone’s
house is a normal practise. However, to some Muslim women
especially those who don the headscarves, it is not common for
them to shake hands with those of the opposite gender, except
if they are immediate family members.
The use of right hand – It is considered rude to pass an object
with a left hand. Most Malaysians do most things with the right
hand while the left hand is mainly used to clean one’s self after
every visit to the toilet. Therefore, the left hand is usually
considered impure.
It is rude to point – When pointing at something or someone,
it is advisable for you to point with your right thumb while your
fist is clenched.
Removal of shoes – Shoes must be removed when visiting a
house or places of worship.
Moderate clothing – Although Selangor population generally
are modern-thinking, it is advisable that you put on appropriate
clothing when visiting rural areas or places of worship. This
would include attire with sleeves and long pants or skirt. In
some places of worship, a headscarf would be required but
most of them would have headscarves that could be borrowed
from the rack which you can return after you are done with the
visit.

religion
The Malaysian population is given the freedom to practise their rights
to specific faiths and beliefs. As stated in Article 3(1) of the Malaysian
Constitution, “Islam is the religion of the Federation, but other
religions may be practised in peace and harmony in any part of the
Federation”.
breakaway selangor
facts
The Malays, who make up the majority of Malaysia’s population are
Muslims. However, there have been a number of conversions from
other races and religion to practise Islam. This has probably contributed
to the 60% Muslim in Malaysia. Of the remaining number, 19% are
Buddhist, 9% are Christian and 6% Hindu.
It is so easy to identify the practise of Islam, as seen on the numerous
mosque and surau (smaller-sized building or designated area for
prayers) widely available in the state. Muslims are required to pray five
times a day and you would be able to hear the call for prayer from
nearby mosques, blasting a melodic tune around 6am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm
and 8pm (timing may not be exact).
On Fridays, you would be able to see a throng of people, some
wearing the baju Melayu, a male traditional attire for the Malays, and
with a songkok on their heads, while some wearing their office shirts.
Cars are double parked nearby bigger mosques since parking bays are
limited and this atmosphere is common as Muslim men perform the
Friday prayers at about 1pm.
Despite this, temples and churches can still be easily found in the
state, sometimes located alongside mosques, proving the high level of
tolerance among different faiths and the freedom to practise it.
26
Islam
Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Some people would refer this celebration to Hari Raya Puasa (‘Hari’ means
day, ‘Raya’ means celebration and ‘Puasa’ means fasting – therefore, a
celebration after fasting). Muslims would go on a month-long fasting prior
to Hari Raya Aidilfitri, where most would wake up around 4am to have their
last meal before breaking of fast around 7pm every day. This month is also
a month of abstinence, reflection and worship.

Other than that, everyone enjoys public holidays granted for the Muslim
celebration in the 1st day of Awal Muharram for the New Year in the
Islamic calendar and the 12th day of Rabiulawal for Prophet Muhammad’s
birthday.
facts
The two main festivities celebrated by Muslims in this country is Hari Raya
Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Haji. It is declared a public holiday on the 1st and
2nd of Syawal of the Muslim calendar for the first celebration, and the 10th
of Zulhijjah for the latter.

facts
At work, most Muslims are allowed to go home an hour earlier due to
them not using the lunch-hour break. Therefore, by 4.30pm Selangor
will seem to buzz with so much busy-ness almost everywhere, thoroughly
enjoyed by other races as well – the pasar Ramadhan (or Ramadhan
market, Ramadhan being the fasting month, in the Muslim calendar).
Stalls would open as early as 4.30pm and business would remain until
half an hour before the breaking of fast. A stretch of road will be closed
for this purpose and visitors can get almost any type of food sold.
During Ramadhan, many newspapers and TV stations would highlight
the best areas or stalls to obtain say, chicken kebab or honey-glazed
chicken. In some instances, there will be a long queue for a simple
RM2 fried popiah.
At night, Muslims, be it men, women and even children would pray at
the nearby mosques. Some would break fast in the mosque while
waiting for prayer time.

During the month, the mood all around is cheery and almost everyone
would be talking about the food and cookies that they’d be preparing
for Hari Raya, the new clothes that they had sent for tailoring and of
course, the balik kampung or the going-back-to-hometown spirit.
Many students and migrants would have already bought their tickets
in advance back to their villages as the sale of tickets move very
quickly.

Those caught eating in public during the fasting period can be booked
and fined.
A small amount of zakat-fitrah is paid by every Muslim who can afford
and the collection will be dispersed to the poor in the state, in the
form of food, basic clothing and where ever possible, even cash as
well.
The highlight of the celebration would be the numerous number of
‘open house’ where friends, families and neighbours would come over
for a feast and chit chat. The ‘open house’ atmosphere will last for an
entire month of Syawal where you can also see the Prime Minister, and
his other ministers take turn to host their own ‘open house’ for anyone
to come over and shake hands with them. Children enjoy it the most
as they would be given envelopes containing money, which is called,
duit raya (festive money).
Thicker envelopes containing duit raya are also given to parents when
their grown-up children return home for the festive holidays, as
appreciation for their parents’ sacrifice and hard work. After performing
the festive prayers at the mosque in the morning, the young ones
would shake and kiss their parents’ hands for forgiveness. Grandchildren
will kiss their grandparents’ hands and wives will do the same to their
husbands, as a time to own up and forgive. They’ll have a short
breakfast and adjourn to the graveyard to give prayers to their
deceased family members.

Hari Raya Haji
This day is also known as Hari Raya Korban (korban mean to sacrifice) or
Hari Raya Aidiladha. It is celebrated in honour of the victorious completion
of those who had performed the haj pilgrimage to Mecca.
breakaway selangor
facts
As a grateful gesture, Muslims who can afford would sacrifice goats or
cows, where villagers or residence in urban areas converge at the
nearest mosque or selected centres for the ritual. Everyone in the
surrounding area will get involved in the slaying of the animals according
to religious rites, chopping the meat and have them packed in individual
plastic bags, which will be distributed amongst the Muslims in the area.
An allocated portion would be given to the poor.
Awal Muharram
Also known as Maal Hijrah, it is the start of the Muslim calendar. This
celebration also coincides with the journey that Prophet Muhammad
took from Mecca to Medina on the first of Muharram, 622 AD.
On this day, Muslims would attend to religious activities.
Maulidur Rasul
This day marks the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, the last of the
prophets sent to mankind, according to the holy book of Al-Quran.
It is a day purely for religious activities where Muslims would recite the
doa (prayer) and read the verses of Quran, to be reminded of the
Prophet’s exemplary character. There will be many talks organised by
the mosques and tv stations, where Muslims embrace the sacrifices
made by the holy Prophet in the name of Islam. In return, it would
further strengthen their faiths and beliefs in the religion, and foster
greater friendship with everyone, be it Muslims or non-Muslims.

The Chinese enjoy public holidays for their Chinese New Year and
Wesak Day festivals. Chinese New Year usually falls around January –
February according to the Lunar calendar, while Wesak Day would fall
in the month of May.

Chinese New Year
breakaway selangor
facts
With the Chinese having major control of many business operations in the
state, Chinese New Year would seem like a long holiday where many
Chinese-owned establishments close for a week, or longer.
This celebration is a merry one. You’ll be able to see lots of red and gold
decorations in many areas like shopping centres, residential areas and
houses with Chinese occupants. The colour red is considered a colour of
prosperity, wealth and luck.
Many organisations and corporations would close early on the eve of
Chinese New Year to allow for staff to prepare for the important family
reunion dinner. About two weeks before that, many individuals would
receive gifts, hampers and cartons containing oranges and it will most
likely be shared among colleagues in the same department. Mandarin
oranges are spelt and pronounced as ‘gold’ in Chinese character and thus,
symbolises wealth.
Before the oncoming new year, many would take the opportunity to settle
their debts as it is believed that everyone should start with a clean slate
on Chinese New Year or the person would continue being in debt for the
rest of their lives.
32
Much like the Muslims Hari Raya, city dwellers would also have bought
their flight or bus tickets in advance in order to be home on time.
On the eve of the New
Year, families gather for
the important reunion
dinner. They would usually
prepare a feast consisting
as much as 10 different
dishes, each symbolises
individual meanings.
Traditionally, the families
will end the night by
lighting fire crackers as a
sign of getting rid of bad
luck and welcoming the
new. However, this practise
is almost obsolete as the
use of fire crackers have
been banned due to the
many cases of untoward
incidents that have
happened throughout the
years.
33
breakaway selangor
The Chinese families would have prepared themselves much earlier by
decorating their living rooms with vases of pretty blossoms, platters of
oranges and a candy tray containing eight types of dried sweet fruit. The
floors will be swept clean to get rid of any ill-fortune and to make way for
incoming good luck. All sharp tools will be hidden away since it is believed
to sever good fortune from the family.
facts
The Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the
new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. Thus, Chinese New Year
is often celebrated for two weeks.

The next morning, everyone in the family wakes up early
and put on their best new attire that usually comes in red
tones. The younger members will ask for forgiveness
from the elders and those who are already married will
give away ang pau (red envelopes containing money) to
those who are not yet married. After that, there will be
visits to other relatives’ or friends’ homes and this would
be the time where the Malaysian spirit of ‘open house’
can be found. Everyone would greet each other and
wish one another good luck, prosperity, happiness, good
health and longevity. And though not very common
nowadays, you may still be able to catch an elaborate
act of the popular lion dance being performed at
residential areas or places where there are lots of visitors.
Chap Goh Meh
In the Hokkien dialect, Chap Goh Meh marks the 15th
night of the Chinese New Year. As the last day of the
Chinese New Year, family members will take time to
gather to conclude the Lunar New Year celebration. This
is considered the final customary dinner.
Chap Goh Meh is also celebrated as the Valentine’s Day
to the Chinese. The activities that take place during this
celebration add colours to the excitement and closure of
the festivities that had taken place since the eve of New
Year.
In Selangor, many activities in conjunction with this
34
breakaway selangor
facts
celebration are held. One being very popular would be
the throwing of mandarin oranges into the lake, where
single women would write their name and number on
the oranges, hoping to find suitors in the form of a
gentleman who would pick up their oranges. It is
commonly believed hat the ritual does not only signify
the availability of the ladies but also as a way to find
good husbands. The person who throws an orange into
the lake will be blessed with a good spouse when the
orange is picked up. Although this belief is considered
ancient, many single ladies and men would take part in
this activity simply for the fun of it.
Chap Goh Meh is also sometimes called the Lantern
Festival where streets and houses would be hung with
red lanterns. In some cases, the performance of the lion
dance will be held as well.
Wesak Day
Wesak Day falls on the 15th day of the fourth moon in
the Lunar calendar. It is considered the most auspicious
day as Buddhists celebrate three momentous events –
the birth, enlightenment and passing of Lord Buddha.
In Selangor, devotees would gather at temples to pay
respects to Buddha. They would meditate and the
burning of incense and joss sticks would be carried out
before praying to Lord Buddha. Many other rituals will
be held, promoting the spirit of giving, being humble
and all hoping for good luck and fortune.
35
Indians would enjoy public holidays mainly for their Deepavali and
Thaipusam celebrations. Deepavali falls during the seventh month of the
Hindu lunar calendar which would fall around the months of OctoberNovember. The Thaipusam, however, falls on the tenth day of the Tamil
month of Thai in the Hindu Almanac which would usually be in late
January or early February. Selangor will enjoy one day of public holiday for
each of the celebrations.
breakaway selangor
facts
Hindu
Deepavali
Also known as the Festival of Lights, it is mainly celebrated by those of
Indian ethnic origin. In Sanskrit, Deepavali means, row of lights. It is a
celebration that marks the triumph of good over evil where Lord Krishna
successfully defeats the demon king, Narakasura. It is also to celebrate
and the return of Lord Rama after a 14-year exile.
Much like other festivals, the Hindus will look forward to this day where
spring cleaning is done at home and cookies and an assorted arrange of
the marukku are made with much enthusiasm. Larger establishments and
shopping malls will display the intricately beautiful kolam, a special
decoration from colourful spread of rice powder to form beautiful designs.
This always attracts attention even from the locals as it is not easy to
accomplish a neat and fine work. Patience and passion would be the key
characteristics of those working on the kolam.
36
After getting ready in the early morning, the Hindu would head to the
temple for prayers. Once back from the temples, most of them would
organise an ‘open house’, which is synonymous with the Malaysian culture
during any main festivals.
Thaipusam
The word, Thaipusam is derived from Thai, the name of a month, and
Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point at the festival. This
festival celebrates both the birthday of Lord Murugan (also known as Lord
Subramaniam) who is the youngest son of Lord Shiva and Purvati.
Devotees would prepare for the celebration by cleansing themselves
through prayer and fasting, some as long as 40 days prior to it. Those who
would be carrying the Kavadi (or burden, in Tamil) would prepare in a more
elaborate way by taking strict diet, observe celibacy
and continuously thinking of God.
There are a number of reasons as to why devotees would take a kavadi –
some seek to overcome bad karma while others do it as penance for their
sins; some take it to reaffirm their strength of faith while others participate
to honour a vow for a wish that was fulfilled in the past.
37
facts
breakaway selangor
On this day, the Hindu wakes up at dawn, bathe themselves in herbal oil,
don new clothes and say their prayers. Their homes are usually decorated
with little oil lamps filled with coconut oil and wicks, and lit. Lanterns and
candles are also used as it is believed that Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth
will not enter an unlit house. It is also thought that the souls of the
deceased would find their way home to their loved ones with those lights
used as a guide that leads them to the pathway back.
The biggest Thaipusam procession in the country is held in Batu
Caves, located in the state. This venue is also renown across the globe
due to the huge number of devotees and tourists that gather here
annually.
breakaway selangor
facts
On the day of the festival, devotees would be in a trance before the
piercing of skin, tongue or cheeks are done by a Swami. A spear that
is pierced through a devotee’s tongue or cheeks would prevent him
from speaking and gives him great power of endurance.
The simplest form of kavadi may be a semi-circular decorated canopy
supported by a wooden rod that is carried on the shoulders, from the
nearby river up to the shrine at the top of the caves. However, other
types of kavadi involve hooks stuck into the back or many other
methods with a varying level of pain. It is believed that the greater the
pain one has to endure, the more merit he is deemed to earn from
god. Tourists will always be amazed though, that the devotees who go
through this ritual do not seem to display any signs of pain during the
procession.
38
Christian
Similar to other parts of the world, Christians would celebrate Christmas
on 25 December every year. Those in Selangor enjoy a day of public
holiday for this celebration.
facts
Christmas
breakaway selangor
Christmas is celebrated in a merry mood not only because it is a
season of giving, but also due to the fact that those in the work
environment would start clearing their off days for the year and enjoy
the rest of the year spending quality time with their family.
Therefore, not only will the Christians be shopping for Christmas gifts,
but other races would also participate in this ‘sport’ as a year-end
reward for themselves or simply to get new school uniforms and
stationeries for their children, for the new school term that’s forthcoming.
Perhaps, the best part about this season of giving is the decorations
in shopping malls and the sale or offers on gift suggestions that are
usually slightly cheaper than usual. And even if they are not cheaper,
the things on sale are more worth buying during this season as they
come with many other freebies as well. There will be areas for huge
Christmas trees, performances that entail carolling or musical
instruments, and in most times, a backdrop for patrons to capture
memorable photographs for this festive celebration. In addition to all
these, the shopping malls would be buzzing with Christmas songs to
perk up the holiday atmosphere.
On Christmas eve, Christians would take part in singing carols and
hymns. And like those other celebrations mentioned earlier, the
Christians would start the morning early to get ready in their best attire
for Church service. In church, there will be prayers or even a play on
the birth of Jesus.

language
breakaway selangor
facts
Bahasa Malaysia or sometimes called Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language) or
BM, is the official language in Selangor. Subjects in schools are taught in
Malay and it is compulsory to obtain a pass in BM for a student to receive
a high school certificate. Despite this, English is also widely used and
spoken, whether in public or in business establishments. And, children are
exposed to the English language as early as pre-school.
Since BM is the official language, billboards, signboards and public
displays of writing are in Bahasa Malaysia. Therefore, it would be useful to
learn some words as the language is not very difficult to learn.
In the Malay language, words are pronounced as they are spelt and the
rules make it quite simple to pick up this language. For example, the use
of the word, sudah/dah (already) can transform a sentence into the past
tense. Root words are either nouns or verbs and the addition of prefixes
and/or suffixes to a word can change its meaning. For example, jalan is “a
road”, berjalan is “to walk”, menjalani is “to undergo” and menjalankan
is “to do”. To indicate plural, a noun is repeated. Thus, buku is ‘book’ and
buku-buku is ‘books’. However, you do not need to repeat the noun when
the word, banyak which means “a lot” is used – banyak buku.
Pronunciation tips
Generally, words in BM are pronounced the same as those in the English
Language, except for a few exceptions.
Vowels

Addressing people
In a formal environment, you would address a man as Encik (Sir) or if he is
of a much higher ranking in terms of seniority, he can be addressed as
Tuan (Sir). Encik can be used on its own or before a person’s name, ie.
Encik Ahmad. Puan (Madam) is used on married or older women, ie. Pn
Siti (Mrs Siti), while Cik (Miss) is used on young and single women, ie. Cik
Fidah (Ms Fidah).
I/We is Saya/Kami and when addressing a man or woman who is old
enough to be your parents, call them pakcik (uncle) or makcik (aunty),
respectively. Abang/bang (older brother) is for a guy who’s slightly older
than you while kakak/kak (older sister) is used to address the female
counterpart.
But, if you are unsure and want to remain polite, it is suffice if you address
a man or woman as Encik or Cik.

Malaysian English
breakaway selangor
facts
Although English is widely spoken in Selangor, you might hear different
versions of adaptation of English when spoken among the locals. This is
due to many dialects and languages in Malaysia that are modified, forming
what we call Malaysian English or Manglish.
Perhaps one word that has been almost synonymous in many applications
in sentences in Manglish, is ‘lah’. Malaysians use it so often that sometimes
some would find it difficult to drop the word in formal events. It is used so
commonly and one too often as it can be affixed to the end of almost any
word in any languages, be it BM, English, Mandarin, Tamil and even to
dialects like Cantonese and Hokkien.
For example:
1. How is it that Malay girls can be so pretty lah? – used at the end of
a question.
2. Ok lah. I will come with you. – used to emphasis willingness.
3. You know lah how she is when it comes to these things – used in the
middle of a sentence
‘One’ is another word which is used not in its true context. It connotes
ownership or to emphasis to a sentence.
For example:
1. He took my one. – which is equivalent to “He took what’s mine.”
2. Why are you so stubborn one. – emphasising the meaning to being
‘stubborn’.
The usage of the word, ‘boss’ is not only limited to a superior at work. It
is in fact commonly used especially when you’re at a mamak stall or
restaurant, calling to their workers. It is also used when a street peddler or
pasar malam hawker address their potential customer.
Ta pao is used to connote ‘take away’ food. It is a Chinese word that has
been adopted by all races especially when ordering food from any hawker
stalls, sometimes even from restaurants.
For example:
1. Boss! I want to ta pao roti canai.

shopping
Malaysia is considered a shopping haven. Not only do we have an annual
mega sale carnival which attracts tourists from all over the world, we also
have sale periods in a smaller scale during festive seasons like Raya,
Chinese New Year or Merdeka Day (Independence Day). Due to Malaysians’
love for shopping, coupled with the strategic location of Selangor, we
have some of the most modern, huge and well-developed shopping malls
in the world.
Located in a modern state, larger and more popular malls in Selangor
managed to attract some of the most famous global clothing and
accessories brands as well as local chains and designers’ outlets in their
vicinity.
In Selangor, most shopping malls are developed as a one-stop centre
where patrons can shop, have their meals, catch a movie at the cinema,
take relaxing walks near lush landscapes, get one’s face, nail or hair done
in salons, send their children for enrichment courses, visit the gym and do
grocery shopping in a hypermarket – all in the comfort of one roof. The
smaller stores, however, receive patrons staying nearby who dislike
crowds, distance and traffic jams.
Our people take shopping quite seriously. As we have many seasonal sale
periods, most locals would wait and shop during those promotional
periods. Hence, during weekends especially, you would experience the
shopping rush where cars queue up to get into parking as early as half an
hour before official opening hours, parking bays are snapped really quickly
and the main roads leading to busy shopping centres would encounter
some traffic congestions.

number of visitors throughout the years, a new wing was built across the
road. Its anchor tenants are Jusco, a Japanese chain store and Parkson,
a local brand. Both carry renowned skincare and cosmetics brands like
Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique and others. However, clothing lines in
Jusco are of a more affordable range compared to those sold in Parkson.
The mall has supermarkets like Jusco and Cold Storage, and Giant, a
popular local hypermarket is also a tenant here. The new wing features
many imported clothing brands like Ralph Lauren, FCUK, Brooks Brothers,
Gap, among others, while the old wing has a more affordable mix like
Liz Clairborne, East India Company, Timberland and many more. The
mall has two giant cinema services providers- Golden Screen Cinemas

for good bargains and collectors’ items on
sale in its weekend flea market.

weekend flea market is located in the centre between rows of
restaurants and cafes just outside the main entrance of the mall.

Pasar Malam (Night markets)
breakaway selangor
activities
You can find a variety of things, food, accessories and clothings in a
pasar malam. Most locals frequent the pasar malam for a great bargain
without compromising on the quality of items. Almost all residential
areas would have a pasar malam one day in a week and the hawkers
would move to where a pasar malam would be open. For instance, the
same hawker would open up his stall on Saturdays at a pasar malam
in one residential area and the same hawker would also open his stall
on Sunday at another pasar malam in another residential area. As the
name states, a pasar malam usually opens from around 6.30pm –
10.30pm.

A preferred choice for your tertiary education
Malaysia is increasingly recognised by students from around the world as
the preferred choice for tertiary and continuing education. A number of
institutions are affiliated with reputable overseas universities and a few
branch campuses of foreign universities are located in Malaysia. This
reflects the high-level of confidence in Malaysia as a suitable ground for
quality tertiary education.
More than 600 public and private educational institutions ranging from
pre-tertiary to university levels currently exist in Malaysia. Out of that
number, four public universities (IPTA), five private universities (IPTS), ten
university colleges and 62 private colleges are located in Selangor.
Among the apparent benefits of undertaking the bulk of any courses in
Selangor are substantial savings without having to sacrifice the quality of
education received. Furthermore, Selangor provides easy access to the
latest state-of-the-art educational aids and technologies, and the courses
offered are recognised internationally.
Students who consider Selangor as an option to further their education
but remain undecided can participate in a number of short-term courses
or student-exchange programmes in which they are exposed to the
country and the number of factors they can expect from life as a student
in the state. In this sense, you will not only be able to gain academic
excellence from the courses you signed up for, but you will also obtain an
advantage to experience life in Selangor and its many warm attractions.
Foreigners will find a varied student population from countries like China,
Japan, Singapore, Pakistan, Indonesia, Australia, Canada and many other
parts of the world.

Selangor has an upbeat and interesting entertainment scene but the
reputation downplayed due to the more popular and more ‘talked-about’
clubs in nearby Kuala Lumpur. Therefore, crowds in the clubs around
Selangor are probably of a more relaxed group who loves a good hang
out not just to be seen and heard in the clubbing scene.
activities
entertainment
Despite the strong religious background and control in the state, patrons
of other ethnic groups are allowed to indulge and have a good time.
The clubs in Selangor not only serve good food but also present impressive
live performances from jazz bands or local rock bands. The night life
usually starts after 10pm and ends between 2-3am. After that, many
clubbers would adjourn to their favourite 24-hour mamak hangout for their
customary teh tarik.

The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is renowned internationally
for its tropical forestry research. The 600-hectare area was gazetted in 1926
to conduct research into the sustainable management of Malaysia’s
rainforest. Since then, it has excelled in its efforts for rainforest conservation
and education.
96
places
Apart from its wide range of services to industries, the huge area
provides excellent facilities for visitors. There is an information centre,
a museum, species of trees and plants that are well-labelled, clearlymarked trails, maps and an education centre that is managed by
Malaysian Nature Society (MNS). Register at the info centre first if you
would like your itinerary sorted out. They also have a guided tour of
the area but you would need to book in advance for availability.
breakaway selangor
You have the option to brave the humidity and mosquitoes and
wander straight into the forest or simply take leisure walks down the
paved roads that runs along several lovely arboreta (an aboretum is a
wide open space planted with specific species). Here, you can find the
matured species of trees that were planted from back then which have
been researched extensively. Useful data on forestry and ecology were
collected and through time, Malaysian scientists have developed and
fine-tuned technologies to make more efficient use of forest products.
The 150 species of dipterocarp arboretum is world-renowned and
widely referenced by scientists.
For those who prefer a little bit more adventure, there are four jungle
tracks for you to choose. They are the Keruing Trail, Engkabang Trail,
Salleh Trail and the more complicated Rover Track. They will all take
you into a breathtaking atmosphere of beautiful secondary forests. The
three trails are basically flat, easier to tread and ranges about 1-1½km
long. Therefore, you can generally finish the trail in 30 minutes. Rover
track, however, is around 3km long, cuts through thick forest and shrub
layers.
About 300 metres into the trail, you will reach two separate paths – one
that leads into a hilly climb, up Bukit Nolang (290m above sea level)
where the famous Canopy Walkway is sited, whereas the other path
leads you to Sungai Kroh Picnic Area, where a small waterfall resides.
Here is where you are able to spread your picnic mats as you enjoy the
cool, serene and tranquility that engulfs the surrounding. Shelters and
restrooms are available for picknickers.

If you didn’t get a chance to pack lunch, there is a canteen near the
information centre that serves decent Malay food.

The main attraction in FRIM would be the Canopy Walkway. It is 150m
in length and built quite sturdy on five large rainforest tree tops, 30m
above the ground. The walkway was initially erected for the benefit of
scientists to study flora and fauna at treetop level but it is now open
to the public. However, there is a maximum allowance of 250 people
per day and only accessible from 9.30am to 2.30pm as the afternoon
winds can be too strong and may pose a threat. Therefore, you must
obtain permission at the information centre beforehand and ensure
that you reach the walkway on time. Registration closes at 1pm.
If you are interested to set camp here to experience the exuberant life
of the wilderness at night, prior arrangement and permission should
be sought.

Entrance Fee:
RM5 per car

batu caves

places
Batu Caves is set in a natural limestone hill and synonymous with
Thaipusam, a religious festival for the Hindus. Apart from this popular
cave, Batu Caves is also the name of the surrounding residential area.
99
places
The cave is probably one of the most popular Hindu
shrines outside India, specially dedicated to Lord
Murugan. During the religious festival of Thaipusam,
over a million devotees and tourists gather at this spot
to witness the colourful spectacle of devotees and their
various kavadis. This has made it one of the largest
annual gatherings, worldwide.
breakaway selangor
Batu Caves is located in the district of Gombak, just
13km north of the capital city. The limestone forming the
cave is said to be around 400 years old. The cave,
although known for its existence among the aborigines
who once lived in the area, it however, was discovered
around 130 years ago and became a popular picnic spot
for the British colonials and their wives. Soon after, the
local Hindu population was said to have believed that
the cave was a holy site for Murugan (also known as
Subramaniam) and the Hindu soon made this site as
their place of worship by making pilgrimages here.
There are three main caves and a few smaller ones but
it was the central Temple Cave that made this site

Kuala Selangor was an old royal capital of Selangor. It was conquered
by the Dutch in 1784 while attempting to expand from their base in
Melaka for a share in the tin trade of Perak and Selangor. By the end
of the 17th century, the Bugis conquered it and in 1857, the Selangor
government was formed.
breakaway selangor
Due to that, Kuala Selangor posesses many
historical sites that exist on Bukit Melawati.
Apart from that, there are a few charming
tourists attractions like Kuala Selangor Nature
Park and the Firefly Park.
Bukit MAlawati
According to history, the second Sultan of
Selangor built a fort to repel attacks from the
Dutch during his reign (1778-1826). It fell into
the hands of the Dutch for about a year and
after that became a battle ground to fight
against the English.
Today, there are several remnants from the past
that appeal to those interested in its history. A
few leftover cannons and foundation stones
attract visitors here for their historical values.
But apart from being a historical site, being at
the top of the hill gives you an excellent
panoramic view of Selangor coastline. You
would be able to see the Straits of Malacca on
a clear day, or bask in the warmth of a sunset

start of Ramadan (the fasting month for Muslims), Syawal
(end of fasting celebration for the Muslims) and Hari
Raya Haji.
Dutch Hill
During the Dutch occupation, this place was called,

Busut Malawati (Malawati Mound)
It is located just 80 yards from the town gate and was
built out of a land measuring 20x20 feet with a height of
15 feet in the era of Sultan Ibrahim. At that time, it was
built to enable the Sultan to rest and watch his favourite
cock-fighting sport. The location also served as a place
to store government treasures and belongings. Visitors
will also find the angsan trees that are around 200 years
old.

A penggawa is the sultan’s most trusted protector. The
cannon was brought to Jugra, Selangor’s second capital,
to be displayed there after it was discovered in 1966 in
Sungai Buloh. However, it was said that the cannon
‘refused’ to stay put and was brought here to guard the
old sultans.
The Meriam Penggawa is a sacred cannon and was said
to explode on its own when a calamity is about to befall
the Selangor Royal Family. Thus it is always wrapped in
yellow cloth to prevent it from blasting itself.
Malawati Fort
Built by the Malay during the second Sultan of Selangor
reign to protect Kuala Selangor from the Dutch’s attack.
During the invasion, this fort collapsed but was
reconstructed and renamed Fort Altingsburg, after the
Dutch Governor-General. A year later, it was recaptured
by Sultan Ibrahim and held through more battles until
the British occupation in 1874. What’s left of the fort is
an external wall and three original cannons that point
out to sea.

Pusat Konservasi HIDUPAN LIAR REZAB SG. Dusun
Tapir is recorded as a protected wildlife species under the Convention on
International Trade in Engangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. This
endangered species is not widely found and Malaysia is considered one
of its safe havens. As the numbers of Tapir has been dwindling throughout
the years, it is natural that a research center for conservation and
reproduction is made available in the country.
The conservation ex-situ method allows the maintenance of the species in
facilities such as botanical gardens, arboretta or the zoo, outside of their
original habitat.
This research centre has been successful in the reproduction of tapirs. At
this centre, research on tapir’s behaviour in captivity is carried out. As the
tapir is a delicate and fragile animal, intensive monitoring is done. Paired
tapirs for reproduction will be separated when either one of them displays
an aggressive character. This is to prevent serious injuries which can lead
to death.
The reproduction of wildlife species in captivity is carried out to ensure the
species is not exposed to any critical risks of being extinct. The species
are nursed before they are independent enough to be sent back into the
wild.

This area was formerly an 80-hectare tin mine
lake but was developed into a massive tourist
attraction. Water is the main element in this
park as it connects the park to other Mines
Resort City components like the exhibition
centre, showroom, shopping centre and the
resort hotel.
One of the things you shouldn’t miss is the
country’s first snow house and the region’s
most spectacular water fountain, waltzing with
precision-perfect timing.

The Blue Mosque
breakaway selangor
interests
The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah or also
known as the Blue Mosque amongst the locals
is one of the largest mosques in Southeast Asia.
Perched just next to the Shah Alam lake, it has
the capacity to accommodate 24,000 devotees
at a time. During its construction, it was said to
have the world’s tallest minarets although it has
now fallen second place. But the blue dome is
still the largest dome of its kind in the world.
It is a three-storey structure which incorporates
elements of Islamic and Malay architecture. The
reigning Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin
himself was very much involved in the planning
and construction of the mosque. He was so
involved in it that he even chose the site for the
mosque and contributed four chandeliars worth
RM2 million.
The mosque took 12 years to complete and
was first used in October 1983.
Dong Zen Temple
Dong Zen Temple is set in a very spacious area
in Jenjarom, Kuala Langat. It is operated by the
Fo Guang Shan (FGS) Malaysia Chapter, and
this Buddhist and charitable organisation has
its roots in Taiwan.
For a casual visitor, the best time to visit is
during the Chinese New Year celebrations.
During this time, additional lanterns are hung,
and floral fests, floats and cultural exhibitions
are staged, transforming the temple into a
magical wonderland.

interests
Malaysians generally know how to enjoy life. There are many interests
that include food and shopping. And as much as the working class
works hard, they play hard and they also indulge in the little luxuries
of pampering one’s self after a hard day’s work.
Because of this, many spas have been opened since the past decade,
each offering different specialities – from the types of massages, to the
usage of specific products to promote pure relaxation and healing.
Though some of the well-known ones are located in renowned hotels,
others operate from shopping centres and bungalows, providing equally
enchanting services to ease the senses.

Malaysia is known for its many splendour. This definitely includes the
abundant choices of food available almost everywhere you go and at
any time.
Malay food is strong, spicy and aromatic which combines the rich tastes
of the many herbs and spices commonly found in Southeast Asia.
Chinese food however, are milder in flavour although local influence has
given it a slightly spicier taste, at times. They also come in various
cooking styles like the Cantonese, Hokkien, Hainanese, Hakka and
Szechuan. On the other hand, Indian food is rich in spice blends and
not necessarily hot to the taste. Generally, those from the Southern
Indian are hotter than its Northern and Moghul counterparts.

breakaway selangor
cuisines
Apart from the three main types of cuisines, Malaysians’ love for
food has made many other types of food available – Swedish,
Italian, Western or even Burmese. Arabic food can be found mostly
in areas where many Arabs would visit during their travelling
season whilst fast food chains can be easily found everywhere else.
Even local dishes from other parts of Malaysia like the mouthwatering nasi kandar from up north, Penang, or nasi dagang from
the east-coast of Kelantan, are widely available in this magnificent
state of Selangor.
And as Selangor has a fine eclectic mix of culture, one can find
various types of tastes, textures and colours that will meet one’s
complex tastebuds. This is also due to the fact that the Malay
peninsular was once a centre of the spice trade and a transit
location for traders travelling between China and India, linking the
east and the west.

Getting There
The national carrier is Malaysia Airlines (www.malaysiaairlines.com) which
flies to over 100 international and domestic destinations. Local budget
airlines, Air Asia (www.airasia.com) flies both local and international
destinations but they are accessible only through the Low Cost Carrier
Terminal (LCC-T), located 20km from KLIA. There are feeder buses running
on 20-minute intervals between the two terminals.

By Rail
The National Railway, better known as KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu
Berhad) offers a decent, clean, cheap and reliable service from its main
stop in KL Sentral. The railway links Malaysia with Thailand in the north
and Singapore to the south.
Commuter Train
The KTM Komuter service can also be taken from KL Sentral to
designated point within the city as well as to Port Klang, Kajang and
Rawang. For a more comprehensive information, schedules and route
plan, visit www.ktmb.com.my.
Light Rail Transit (LRT)
Rapid KL currently operates the two LRT lines plying the state which
were formerly known as STAR LRT (Ampang line) and Putra LRT (Kelana
Jaya line). Check out their website, at www.rapidkl.com.my to plan your
route. For a more comprehensive information, schedules and route
plan, visit www.rapidkl.com.my.
Express Rail Link (ERL)
The journey from KL Sentral to KLIA takes only 27 minutes by ERL, via
their KLIA express trains. It also provides transit to three intermediate
station via their KLIA Transit trains.
Check out their website, at www.kliaekspres.com for more information
and current promotions.

Travelling by road is one of the best ways to get around the state or
other states in the country.
Taxi
Airport Limo
If you are taking taxis to pick you up at the arrival hall, you would need
to purchase the tickets at the designated counters inside KLIA. You
would usually see the counters just before you exit to the arrival hall.
Your ticket will state which exit gate you would need to go to for the
appropriate taxis. We would like to caution you against taking taxis
from tout operators as the charges can be much higher and safety is
questionable. These people would most likely approach tourists who
look lost and unsure of where to go next.
City Cabs
The fare is RM3 for the first 2km and RM0.10 after every 115km.
However, if you get caught in a traffic jam, the fares will be RM3 for the
first three minutes and 10 sen for every subsequent 21 seconds. A 50%
surcharge is applicable for journeys between midnight and 6am.
If you are taking a city cab to head to KLIA, their charges would be a
negotiated rate since they will not have the chance to pick up any
passengers on their way back. Therefore, be sure to agree on a
reasonable rate and check if it includes toll charges as well.
