Introduction

Selangor is a state in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia. The state surrounds the nation's capital, Kuala Lumpur. In fact, Kuala Lumpur was formerly also the state capital of Selangor until 1978, four years after the area was ceded to the Federal government. Shah Alam has since been declared the new state capital.
