The state of Selangor is on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia
and covers 8,000 square kilometres. Its capital, Shah Alam, is
situated between Kuala Lumpur and Port Klang, the country's largest
port. Hailed as one of Asia's best planned cities, Shah Alam boasts
of modern infrastructure, communications and service facilities.
Resource-rich Selangor is Malaysia's premier state, being the
richest and the most developed. Its economy is diversified with
a good mixture of agricultural, industrial, commercial and tourism
activities.
Though rubber, palm-oil and tin mining are the mainstay of the
economy, the development of its port, Port Klang, and the rapidly
expanding industrial areas are increasingly contributing towards
the prosperity of the state, making Selangor an attractive state
for both foreign and domestic investment.
Tourism is also beginning to have a major impact on the economy,
and Selangor is in the process of developing its many attractions,
both natural and man-made.
Selangor is also the most populated in Malaysia and is home to about
2.74 million Malaysians.
Temperatures range from 21ºC to 32ºC. Average annual
rainfall varies from 2,000 mm - 2,500 mm and humidity is high all
year around.
