Selangor

Selangor is Malaysia's most developed state. Located on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, its nine districts cover about 1.25,000sq km. Much of the land in Selangor is developed but there are still large areas under vegetation, which range from coastal mangroves to lush tropical rainforests. The state capital is at Shah Alam, which is also the royal town. In 1974, the city of Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs were ceded to the Federal Government for the creation of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
