shah alam
Shah Alam, Selangors 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
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, Malaysias capital city and Putrajaya, the Federal Territorys 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, Malaysias largest and busiest port, welcomes visitors in the midst of the hustle and bustle of trade and logistics businesses. ShAh AlAm, SelAngorS cApitAl city Selangors 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 governments 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 Alams close proximity to Port Klang and its well-planned township, it also houses some of the busiest industrial sectors. The nations 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.

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. petAling JAyA, home to the lArgeSt populAtion

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 Selangors 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, Malaysias 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 Malaysias capital city. Due to the congestion on this highway, many other links have been constructed as an alternative. 7

Klang, the states Royal town and more 32 km to the west of Kuala Lumpur is Klang, another busy and crowded township. If youre taking the Federal Highway on a drive from Kuala Lumpur, you would pass by Shah Alam, before you reach Klang. 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.

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 countrys 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 countrys 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 Son 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 Selangors early history is not clearly known, archeologists agree that Selangors heritage runs way back over a century before the period of the historical Malay Sultanate of Melaka. 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 Klangs location in his map while Klang was mentioned in a poetry written by a poet from Majapahit in 1365.
breakaway selangor

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 Sultanates 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 Johors 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. 12

Sultan Sir Abdul Samad (Raja Abdul Samad; 1857-1896) Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah (Tengku Sulaiman Shah; 1896-1937) Sultan Sir Hisamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj (Tengku Alam Shah; 1937-1942, 1945-1960) Sultan Musa Ghiatuddin Riayat Shah (Tengku Musaeddin; during Japanese occupation 1942-1945) Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj (Tengku Abdul Aziz Shah; 1960-2001) Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Al-Haj (Tengku Idris Shah; 2001-current)

The constitution of 1959 states down the role, duties and powers of the 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 Selangors royal family. 13

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. It was said, that the river got its name from the archaic Malay word, kalang, which meant tin.
breakaway selangor

After the death of Sultan Ibrahim in 1826, Sultan Muhammad was installed as the next ruler. Around 1850, he appointed Raja Abdullah as Klangs 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 Samads 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 worlds 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. 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 Pahangs Malay army to fight against Raja Mahdi. 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).

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. 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.

Due to its strategic geographical position in the Peninsular Malaysia and its vast contribution to the nations 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 everyones 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 childrens whereabouts.

22

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 Malaysias 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. 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. 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 others 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. 24

Some cuStomary tipS: 1. Basic handshake A welcoming handshake when greeting someone who is introduced to us or when we visit someones 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 ones 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. The Malays, who make up the majority of Malaysias 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.

iSlam 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. 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 Muhammads birthday.

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.

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.

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. Theyll have a short breakfast and adjourn to the graveyard to give prayers to their deceased family members.

During the month, the mood all around is cheery and almost everyone would be talking about the food and cookies that theyd 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.

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. 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 Prophets 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. 30

chineSe new year 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. Youll 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. 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 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. 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.

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 Valentines 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

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.

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.

hindu 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.

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

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.

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.

facts

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. 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 devotees 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.

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 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 thats 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
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.
facts breakaway selangor

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 a e i 40 as the a in car or star when it is in the middle of a word satu (one); but pronounced as the e in lower when it is at the end of a word bunga (flower). as the e in lower when it is unstressed senang (easy); but pronounced as a in agent meja (table). as in sit

o u ai au ua

as in go has the oo sound unless it ends as -uh, -uk, -up or -ur, where it will be pronounced as the o in oh. as in island as the ow in cow sounds like oo-a in moo and car.

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 persons 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 whos 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. 41

malaySian engliSh 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.
facts breakaway selangor

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 whats 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 youre 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. 44

As the busiest state in the country, Selangor is always abuzz with activities. It satisfies your interests in many areas be it shopping, your thirst for knowledge, entertainment, adventure and sports.

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 ones 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.

Shopping mallS Youll be able to find most of what you need from these huge shopping malls. 1 Utama (in Bandar Utama, PJ; www.1utama.com.my; opens Sun-Thu: 10am-10pm & Fri-Sat:10am-10.30pm) Possibly one of the more popular malls in Selangor. It started only with one building but due to a large 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 (GSC) and Tanjong Golden Village (TGV) in two separate wings and a bowling alley is located a stones throw away from GSC. On top of it all, the mall is so unique that it even has an outdoor pool situated in a secluded area for those wanting to learn to dive from Sealantis Dive Centre. Last but not least, when you get hungry, there are 128 food outlets consisting of cafes and fast food chains, for you to choose.

The Curve (in Mutiara Damansara, PJ; www. thecurve.com.my; 10am-10pm) Although considered very new in the industry, The Curve has been attracting droves of people especially in the weekends due to its unique cluster of several shopping buildings in an area. There is the Ikano Power Centre, Ikea, Tesco, Cineleisure and The Curve, which present you a shopping haven quite like no other. Locals love to dine at the huge dining area of Ikea for its delicious signature Swedish meatballs and browse through the weekend flea market. Sunway pyramid (in Bandar Sunway, PJ; www. sunway.com.my/pyramid; 10am-10pm) It is much admired for the unique architecture almost similar to the Pyramids of Egypt except that its sphinx is replaced with a lion statue. This shopping mall has won many international awards for its customer-friendly layout and good customer service. Two of its most popular features are possibly the ice-skating rink and digital centre. It also houses the TGV cinemas, tenants like Jusco and Parkson, the Giant hypermarket and many clothing brands. A Cut Above, a popular local hair salon known for its services to the affluent market, models and celebrities, also has an outlet here. ioi mall (in Puchong; www.myioi.com/ioimall; 10am-10pm) IOI Mall attracts visitors mostly from Puchong and nearby Petaling Jaya area. It can be regarded as a highly popular mall but less likely to attract a crowd bigger than those malls already mentioned earlier due to its tricky access. If you come from PJ, you would need to pay a RM1.60 toll at the highway, drive past it and make a U-turn further away. But, once you are past all these, the shopping experience would probably make it worth your while as popular outlets are available here and the range of things sold are generally more affordable.

However, many locals are known to head towards Mines to obtain fast-selling movie tickets and experience the grand feeling of dining along its man-made water way that runs under its roof. The water way is an extension from a man-made lake, huge enough to offer tourists an attractive opportunity for a water cruise. Tropicana City mall (in PJ, www.tropicanacitymall.com; 10am-10pm) This is a new mall, first open to the public in 2009. It offers free WiFi and shuttle services to its patrons. Among its larger tenants are Golden Screen Cinemas, Carrefour Hypermarket, Toys R Us and Gymboree. Subang parade (in Subang; www.hektargroup.com/SubangParade; 10am10pm) Once voted as the longest shopping centre in Malaysia although it does not hold that title anymore. It was the first shopping mall in Subang and was one of the best before other newer malls sprang up. Nowadays, it is still a local favourite and after it went through some refurbishment in 2007, it receives more than 170,000 shoppers a month, on average. Main tenants include Parkson, Swensens and Toys R Us. But perhaps, visitors like going to Subang Parade for its family-friendly atmosphere and many food outlets. SaCC mall (in Shah Alam; www.saccmall.com.my; 10.30am-9.30pm) Promises its patrons a good time. It has many decent shops and promotes many activities and entertainment on its concourse area. 51

education
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.

entertainment
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.

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. 77

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 1-1km 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.

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.

If you didnt 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. Note: Entrance Fee: RM5 per car RM1 per person Canopy Walkway Fee: RM 5 Adults RM 3 Students (Age 13 years onwards) RM 1 Children (Age 7 to 12 years)

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. 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 popular. It can be reached through 272 flght of stairs that rise next to a 43m tall golden statue of Lord Murugan. On the way up the stairs, do keep a lookout for the macaque monkeys as they make both sides of the stairway their playground. Please be sure to keep from view items such as souvenirs, cameras, sunglasses, food and drinks from these bold creatures as they are not afraid to snatch those items away from your grasp. Do not feed the monkeys either as they would be dependent on humans for food.

According to history, Kuala Selangor has had settlements from as early as the 16th century. It was ruled under the Malacca Empire and after that the Johor Empire. 106

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. 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 on a calm evening. Some fishing settlements are within view as well.

Although the Silver-Leafed are generally quite gentle, visitors are advised to be cautious with the Long-Tailed Macaques as they can be highly mischevious. Just be careful when feeding them as they are considered wild creatures and can be dangerous when provoked. Batu Hampar (Execution Rock) Set at the centre of Kota Melawati entrance. It has a large boulder on top of it where the legend says that it is a site where traitors are beheaded. Location of New Moon Sighting A simple latticed structure was constructed for the purpose of sighting the new moon to determine the 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, Utrecht Fort, after the name of the Dutch that defeated Raja Haji at Teluk Ketapang.

Seven Wells Originally, there was a well which contain seven springs that were never dry even during the droughts. Now, only a few remain and the rest lay buried. Some visitors use water from the well to fulfill their vows. 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.

Meriam Penggawa (Chief Cannon) A penggawa is the sultans most trusted protector. The cannon was brought to Jugra, Selangors 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 Dutchs 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. Whats left of the fort is an external wall and three original cannons that point out to sea. The Hundred Steps The steps that lead down from the Melawati Gate to the foot of the hill is known as the Hundred Steps. These steps were once the only pathway to the town of Kuala Selangor.

The mangrove trees with its scientific name, Sonneratia Casolaris, can be found until 8km upstream and 18km downstream to Kuala Selangor.

Located about nine kilometres from the town of Kuala Selangor, the site is known as one of the largest firefly colonies in the world. Take a small boat into the quiet darkness at night and you might find yourself amazingly enthralled by the thousands of fireflies that flicker. At dusk, the fireflies gather in Berembang trees to feed on its tree sap and flash to attact a mate. Although both the male and female species light up, only the males do it together in unison! Boats can be chartered at the jetty of Kampung Kuantan for these nocturnal tours. Viewing time starts from sundown at 7.30pm to 10.30pm. There is ample parking space for visitors and a good information centre where you can also obtain souvenirs. Each boat holds 4 passengers and costs RM40 per boat.

kuala selangOr naTure Park Kuala Selangor Nature Park is a haven for a wide variety of flora and fauna. It comprises over 200 hectares of coastal land where a large part of it is mangrove swamps. Mangrove ecosystems are extraordinary in that they protect the coastline, serve as fish breeding ground, give refuge to diverse wildlife and supply wood. But Kuala Selangor Nature Park is much more than just mangrove trees in a swamp. The park stretches over 800 acres of three distinct habitat which include inland secondary forests, muddy estuaries and mudflats, and a brackish lake that is inhibited by wetland animals. The area also has more than 150 species of birds and an estimated 100,000 wading birds, comprising 30 species, passing through here on their annual migration. Thus, birdwatching is perhaps one interesting activity here. There are four trails to take to view the wildlife. They are the Egret Trail (550 metres), Pangolin Trail (1km), Coastal Bund (1.7km) and Langur Trail (1.1km) which lasts approximately 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 2 hours and 2 hours, respectively. Observation hides and towers are available to visitors. You are advised to bring along binoculars and camera with telephoto lens in order to see a better view of the birds and other animals.

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 tapirs 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.

It sits on a 22km stretch of beach looking over the calm waters of the Straits of Malacca. Though easily accessible, the site is still unknown to many and the shores are practically still untouched in this part of Sepang. Sepang, can be reached through a 45-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur city center, is well known for its world-class infrastructure and events, based on the state-of-the-art facilities offered at KLIA and droves of tourists who come to Sepang regularly to catch the Malaysian leg of Formula 1 racing. This RM3 billion project is an added feature to the existing internationally acclaimed developments in Sepang, which will be showcased in a resort-like setting. The crown jewel of the whole development complex surely must be the Golden Palm Tree Sea Villas and Spa. Situated in a 5000-acres mixed development area, the unique design of the luxurious villas will entice the most astute of holiday makers and the breadth of activities available will ensure that theres something for everyone. One of the main attractions of Sepang Goldcoast is the eclectic mix of culture and nature.

transportation
GettinG tHere By Air Selangor is the main gateway into Malaysia, through Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It is located in the Sepang district of Selangor, 75km south of the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. The airport is one of Asias largest and most modern airports, with top-notch facilities and many fancy shops offering good foreign and local brands. 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 Road Selangor is connected to neighbouring Thailand in the north and Singapore in the South via the North-South Expressway or also called PLUS (Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan) Highway. 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.
