Introduction A Brief History By the end of the 19th century, in less than 50 years, Kuala Lumpur had grown from a jungle- bound mining settlement to the grand colonial capital of the Malay Peninsula. It was here that British rule on the Peninsula ended in 1957 and that the modern nation, Malaysia, was born in 1963. Though many government departments moved to Putrajaya in the 1990s, KL continues to function as the heart of Malaysia’s economic, political and social life. To understand how Kuala Lumpur kingdom in southern Sumatra, who came to be founded it’s important washed up around 1401 on the Malay to first go back four-and-a-half coast.

Thus the Chinese came to Malaysia. Equidistant between India and China, Melaka became a major stop for freighters from India loaded with pepper and cloth, and junks from China loaded with porcelain and silks, which were traded for local metal and spices. Business boomed as regional ships and perahu (Malay-style sampans) arrived to take advantage of trading opportunities.

Introduction Sightseeing Introduction 17 Kuala Lumpur or KL, as the locals like it, is Malaysia’s capital and her largest city. From the city’s central business district, the conurbation spreads out to include developing suburbs in the ‘greater KL’ area, which is also known as the Klang Valley. As many as 1.8 million people comprising of indigenous Malays, Chinese and Indians call KL home. This showcase of the multicultural and multilingual Malaysian life is also a place where tradition and modernity stand next to each other and herald the cosmopolitan nature of the city. ‘The Garden City of Lights’ As heritage structures get a new lease of life with modified usage, KL retains its charm through the preservation of pre-war and colonial buildings in the older parts of the city. Though the British colonial style seems pervasive, the Malay, Chinese, Indian and Moorish styles are prominent as well. Some of those which reflect Moorish architecture can be seen in the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the old High Court and Magistrates Court Building and the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.The Garden City of Lights transforms at night as KL-ites wind down after a hard day’s work and you get to experience KL in a ‘different light’.
