I'm happy that Klang , Selangor Darul Ehsan (my hometown) received Cabinet approval on July 2023 for being the City after met the required criteria-Klang has sustainable income and population of 1.1 million , while MPK has annual income of over RM 100 mil.The local authority was established in May 1890 as Klang Health Board.
As someone who was born at Klang , Selangor Darul Ehsan , I am delighted about the honour my hometown is receiving.I had the happy moment as the kids and teenagers during my school phase for both schools and tuition at my hometown as well. Kindly please be informed that not all people from Klang are same & not all people that working at Klang for any field are same .Do not confuse and do not judge any person based on rumours except after get to know of each other in details as the good friends .
This will be the fourth city in Selangor Darul Ehsan , in addition to Shah Alam , Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya and the nation's 20th city.Klang served as the capital of Selangor twice .It was first declared capital of Selangor in 1890 during the British Colonial Phase but later lost its status to Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur originally inside Selangor Darul Ehsan(you can check the proof by yourself) and in the 1970s when Kuala Lumpur was given to the Federal Government , Klang was again declared the state capital but later lost this position to Shah Alam.Port Klang was the largest and busiest port in Malaysia and second -largest port in South-East Asia.
It also ranks as the world's top 13th container port and is a strategic hub for micro, small and medium -sized enterprise (MSMEs) and small & medium -sized enterprises(SMEs).Port Klang have MSMEs and SMEs that are economic engines and are ahead of (those in) Kuala Lumpur.
In Draft Local Plan 2035 (Amendment 1)changes are being made to meet the demand for more industrial zones to support the logistics industry and Klang had become the centre of development for this part of Selangor.Klang's businesses have created employment opportunities for those in neighbouring districts as well as Greater Klang Valley .
Klang's Westport had been indicated as the terminus of the proposed East Coast Rail Link project.KTM Komuter connects Klang to other cities in Selangor while the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT 3) Station in Klang to Bandar Utama Station in Petaling Jaya is expected to begin operations by March 1, 2025.
Selangor Palace representative Datuk Mohammed Khusrin Munawi said the official title of Royal City would give Klang the wider recognition it deserved as the main sea gateway into Malaysia and one of the fastest -growing urban areas.City status will further nurture Klang economically and will boost tourism include give positive social economic impact on Klang Town and its surroundings.
Port Klang (preciously was Port Swettanham) have the sentimental value for my dad with his friends because he was there for work before retired.I always appreciate about the hardwork by my parents from their past as well and automatically teaching me about the perseverance.
