this day. Klang became important only
after the decline of Kuala Selangor after
the death of Sultan Muhammad (18261857). In 1875, Klang was chosen as
the capital city of Selangor before the
capital city was moved to Kuala Lumpur
in 1880. In 1886, Klang was touted as a

the countrys economic growth by the
billions in the Economic Transformation
Programme announced in 2010.
In 2010, the Greater KL/KV population
was estimated at close to 7 million and
it contributed about RM263 billion to
the nations Gross National Income
(GNI).

INTRODUCTION

The Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley


(Greater KL/KV) extends beyond the
boundaries of Kuala Lumpur, covering

Gedung Raja Abdullah
(Selangor Tin Museum)

he Raja Abdullah gedung (warehouse)


was built in 1856 in the town of Klang.
It was used as a repository for tin ore
on the ground floor and living quarters

the first council meeting of Selangor was
held. In 1880, Gedung Raja Abdullah was
turned into a police station and remained
so until 1974. The lock-ups, with heavy
iron gates, still exist. More recently, the warehouse was converted into the Selangor

Monument of Kuala Kubu Tragedy

hen speaking of Kuala Kubu tragedy, it is often related to the broken dam.
In February 1883, the town was severely flooded due to a dam nearby that
broke, killing many civilians and damaging their homes. Many of the town
buildings were destroyed beyond repair, except a Buddhist temple and a mosque
which you will get to see when youre here. The flood victims included even Sir Cecil
Ranking who was a district officer during the British era. The old town of Kuala Kubu
was known as Broken Dam or Ampang Pecah in Malay and the tragedy has been
named Kuala Kubu Tragedy by the locals. The British, however, decided to build a
new town near the remains of Kuala Kubu, right after the tragedy occurred. This new
town is names Kuala Kubu Bharu, which bharu means new in Malay. A monument
to commemorate the tragedy has also been built here.

ertak Dam, or officially known as Selangor Dam, is built to replace the old
broken dam that caused the massive flood. There is a river called Pertak River
that flows along the Aborigines village into the dam. Some remains of the old

was shooting the sacred white crocodile that appeared at the dam in attempt to kill
it, he missed a few shots and the bullets hit the wall of the dam, causing the dam to
break and flood the whole town. No matter how different the stories we get, they
are always related to the legend of the sacred white crocodile. To the locals, this new
dam is precious, as it reminds them of the history of their serene and quaint little
town.

ila berbicara tentang kisah tragedi di Kuala Kubu, ia selalu dikaitkan dengan

empangan berhampiran yang pecah, menyebabkan penduduk-penduduknya
terkorban. Banjir ini memusnahkan kawasan-kawasan kediaman penduduk, termasuk
bangunan-bangunan di bandar kecuali sebuah kuil Buddha dan masjid yang dapat
dilawati sekiranya anda berkunjung ke sini. Mangsa banjir juga termasuk Sir Cecil
Ranking, pegawai daerah yang bekerja ketika zaman British. Bandar Kuala Kubu yang
musnah ini dinamakan Broken Dam atau Ampang Pecah dan tragedi ini dikenali
sebagai Tragedi Kuala Kubu oleh penduduk tempatan. Pihak British kemudiannya
membina sebuah bandar baru berdekatan dengan bandar lama yang musnah.
Bandar yang baru ini dinamakan Kuala Kubu Bharu dan sebuah monumen juga telah
didirikan di sini sebagai tanda untuk memperingati peristiwa yang bersejarah ini.

kampung Orang Asli hingga ke empangan. Sisa-sisa bangunan dari bandar yang
lama juga dikatakan berada di bawah air empangan ini. Mengikut buah mulut orang,
ketika Sir Cecil Ranking bertindak untuk membunuh buaya putih sakti yang muncul
di permukaan air empangan itu, beberapa tembakan pelurunya tidak mengena dan
tersasar ke dinding empangan, menyebabkan empangan itu retak dan pecah lalu
membanjiri bandar itu. Walau apa pun kisah yang disampaikan pada hari ini, ia tetap
berkait rapat dengan legenda buaya putih yang sakti. Empangan yang baru dibina
ini tetap dianggap istimewa oleh penduduk tempatan, kerana ia simbolik kepada
sejarah di sebalik bandar kecil yang tenang dan penuh misteri ini.

Road Safety Tips for Beginner Cyclists


Visibility is key:
Wear bright clothes and make sure you stay in a position where
other traffic can see you.
Car doors: When riding alongside parked
cars, be wary of doors flying open in your
path. Slow down and keep your eyes peeled.
Dont hug the kerb: Dont let other traffic
think its safe to squeeze past you in the same
lane its not. Stay a metre from the kerb
and you can be seen more easily from every
direction.
Hook turns:
If youre planning to turn
right, but youre not sure
about the other traffic, make
a hook turn (move to the left,
stop in front of traffic waiting
to go the way you wish to
travel and go straight ahead
when the lights change) to
avoid crossing lanes.

Get some company:


If youre new to riding on roads,
get a friend with a bike to show
you how theres always
safety in numbers.

The rules:
The road rules for cyclists vary slightly around
Malaysia. Youre much safer if you know what they are.
Look online to find out what the rules are for you.
Eye contact:
You cant be sure a driver knows youre there until
you make eye contact. Dont be afraid to wave just
to make sure youve been seen.

located in the Damansara subdivision.
This Golden Triangle is positioned to do well, boasting the Ikano Power Centre
shopping complex, the One Utama shopping complex, a large Ikea outlet and
other commercial attractions. Besides that, the Uptown commercial area, which
houses the Malaysian branch of several multi-national companies, is located in

originally planned to house a cinema,
commenced life in the mid-1980s as the
Kimisawa and Printemps departmental
stores. However by 2005, it was very
tough for the Atria to compete with larger
complexes nearby such as 1 Utama, and
The Curve. In 2007 the Atria was sold to
OSK Property Holdings Berhad. It recently
received a makeover and a new coat of
paint. The first phase has just finished and

It is a residential suburb and home to the popular 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

As of 2004 it is estimated that there are 59,040 people residing in Bandar Utama.
The primary residents appear to be Malay, followed by Indian and Chinese.
However, there were nearby squatter settlements of illegal immigrants in the
neighbouring Kayu Ara village which is enclosed by Bandar Utama and Damansara
Utama. They have now mostly been relocated to nearby low-cost flats and their
squatter houses demolished to make way for legal developments.

Until 1991, the area of Bandar Utama consisted of nothing more than palm oil

in Bandar Utama under See Hoy Chan Holdings Sdn. Bhd., and an attempt to

A big delight in every bite

Malaysian Food is not one particular distinction of food but a culinary


diversity originating from its multi-ethnic population of Malay, Indian
and Chinese. There are also cuisines that have evolved from the
meeting of cultures notably those of the Nyonya and Indian Muslims
communities. Western cuisines, especially Continental and Mediterranean fare, are
also available in the major cities. Indeed, Malaysia as a meeting place of both eastern
and western cultures has produced a most diverse culinary melting pot. A brief look
into the past and how this multi-ethnic country came to be, is essential in order to
comprehend how such a cosmic array of food, has now come to be known all over
the world as Malaysian Food. Presented here are some of the various delicious and
popular dishes from this rainbow of gastronomic spectrum, with pictures from each
unique ethnic kitchen.

Dining in KL would not be complete, of course if you do not try what this city is
famous for its street food at food court. Food is available at almost every corner of
KLs roads, plus plenty of food bazaars, night markets and hawker centres. However,
with the weather being what it is, hawker centres and food courts in KLs shopping
malls play their much- appreciated part. In these comfortable air conditioned
spaces, you can enjoy almost all examples of street food in hygienic conditions.

DENTAL

oday, people are combining a holiday to Malaysia with affordable dental


care due to prices being too out of reach of many in European and North
American countries. Malaysia is a multiethnic nation which offers dental
surgeries and English-speaking dentists, well-qualified to cater to all of your
dental needs, cosmetic or otherwise.
The neighboring countries of Malaysia, too, offer dental treatments but Malaysia
is nevertheless a regional leader in dental surgery due to numerous clinics here
that provides dental care tailored to international patients. Although its main
appeal is the affordable prices, Malaysia offers modern clinics, latest treatments
and up-to-date equipment.
Kuala Lumpur is the hub of dental care in Malaysia where hundreds of dentists
practice, but clinics serving dental tourists are also available in most major holiday
destinations such as Penang and Melaka. Since
most dental procedures have a short recovery
period, tourists can combine the treatment with
a holiday in this multicultural country.
Many dental clinics in Malaysia also help dental
tourists with their travel plans including flights,
airport pickups, sightseeing and accommodation.
The appointments can
be arranged around their
vacation to suit their needs.
Malaysia is the ideal
destination for dental
tourism in Asia.
