Selangor

Selangor (population 4.1 million) is a state in central Peninsular Malaysia. It surrounds the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur. The capital city is Shah Alam and the royal capital is Kelang. Selangor is also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Ehsan ("Abode of Sincerity"). The state is a hereditary monarchy and has been ruled since 2001 by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah. The Chief Executive or Menteri Besar is currently Dato' Seri Dr. Mohd Khir bin Toyo, of the Barisan Nasional coalition, who is a dentist. Its main cities are Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Kelang. Selangor is Malaysia's most populous state, largely thanks to the rapid economic growth taking place there, mostly propelled by industry, and the growth of the Kuala Lumpur conurbation (known as the Kelang Valley, due to its sprawl within the floodplain of the Kelang river.) Until 1974, Kuala Lumpur was the capital of Selangor, but the city was made a federal territory in 1974, separating it from the rest of the state.
