Foreword From Introduction MINISTER OF T OURISM MALAYSIA Y.B Dato’ Sri Dr. ng yen yen On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Kuala Lumpur, the colourful and thriving capital of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur was built around the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers where most of the tin mining related trading and deals was done in the early years. Such activity had since cease with the depletion of tin resources. However Kuala Lumpur continues to chart impressive growth with the development of other economic activities and many other world class events as well as facilities. Notwithstanding the modern development of Kuala Lumpur, the Government had taken many efforts in preserving many heritage buildings which stand testimony to the capital’s glorious past. A stroll along the streets of Kuala Lumpur will afford you views of many heritage buildings which have become landmarks in Kuala Lumpur. However, the true experince of Kuala Lumpur, and Malaysia by extension, is in its people. The living heritage of many Asian cultures, races and traditions blend harmoniously to create a uniquely Malaysian identity known for its warmth hospitality and friendliness As such I invite you to experience for yourself our hospitality through the variety of foods, culture and interesting places all over Kuala Lumpur. I trust you will be enticed with the diversity we have here. Last but not least, let me also congratulate Bluedale Publishing (M) Sdn. Bhd. for putting in place this informative guide book.

Foreword From Introduction Selangor Executive Councillor for Tourism YB Elizabeth Wong Welcome to the KlangValley! It’s a good sign when a city has so much to offer, even locals need some guidance.The KlangValley and its surrounding areas boast a treasure trove of attractions, activities and, of course, gastronomical delights, but even the most adventurous among us cannot claim to know everything there is to know about this city, home to about 8 million people. In many ways, the diversity of experiences to be found in the Klang Valley is what makes it so uniquely attractive to visitors, both domestic and international. Whether it is pampered luxury you’re seeking or a steaming hot meal on the sidewalk, renowned designer labels or bargain buys at street markets, you will find it here. This same diversity is what makes life here all the more exciting. Locals and frequent visitors might be tempted to stick to the same old routine, but that would be unfortunate. In such a dynamic metropolis, there is no excuse to not explore the nooks and crannies of the city centre, the spacious shopping malls in the suburbs, the quiet charm of rural towns and also the natural beauty of the many outdoor attractions. If you need some help, do not worry. This guidebook is ever ready with information and advice, as are the many proud residents of the Klang Valley eager to share their favourite dining spots, shopping destinations and other leisure activities. So, rest assured you will be able to find whatever it is you’re looking for here in the KlangValley. Just don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path. YB ELIZABETH WONG Executive councillor, Selangor State Government 11

Introduction A Glance Of klang Valley Klang Valley – An Introduction lang Valley, or Lembah Klang in Malay, is named after Klang River, which is associated to the early development of the area as a cluster of tin mining Ktowns in the late 19th century. Situated in the centre of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Klang Valley comprises the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and its adjoining districts in Selangor, namely Gombak, Hulu Langat, Petaling and Klang, covering an area of 2826 square kilometers. Geographically, it is delineated by Titiwangsa Mountain Range to the north and east, and the Strait of Malacca to the west. Being the most vibrant and lively region in the country, Klang Valley is the heartland of Malaysia’s industry and commerce and is always buzzing with vitality. Home to a great number of migrants from other states within Malaysia and foreign workers from Indonesia, Myanmar, India and Nepal, it is considered as the fastest growing region in the country with many more rapidly growing new towns and yet more is believed to develop in the near future. Development of the region took place mainly in the East-West direction (between Gombak and Port Klang) but the urban areas surrounding Kuala Lumpur have since grown south towards the border with Negeri Sembilan and north towards Rawang. Now, with the emergence of Klang Valley 2 Region, covering two areas in the south of Selangor—the districts of Sepang and Kuala Langat, this new region will generate economic development, strengthen the intra and inter-regional economic network and distribute its benefits to the surrounding areas. These districts have been directly affected by the implementation of mega projects, such as Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) and the Federal Administration Centre in Putrajaya, hence becoming the new areas for the expansion of the present Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan Region, Klang Valley. Sepang District, shaped like the stem of a ‘keris’ as seen from the air, is the youngest district for the state of Selangor. It borders the districts of Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, Petaling, as well as Bandar Baru Nilai in Negeri Sembilan. The road network in Sepang comprises the Elite Highway on the west, the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway on the east, and the B20 Highway in between, as well as the Express Rail Link and new roads such as the South Klang Valley Expressway, Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya-Cyberjaya Highway, Putrajaya Urban Motorway and the new B15 Highway. The district of Kuala Langat has become a strategic investment area following the intense development of Putrajaya and KLIA, and good road network linking it to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Port Klang, Putrajaya and KLIA. Kuala Langat is located in the south-western part of Selangor and bordered by the districts of Klang to the north and Sepang to the east. 12
