Klang orKelang, officiallyRoyal City of Klang (Malay:Bandaraya Diraja Klang), is a city, royal city and former capital of thestate ofSelangor, Malaysia. It is located within theKlang District. It was the civil capital of Selangor in an earlier era prior to the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and the current capital,Shah Alam. ThePort of Port Klang, which is located in the Klang District, is the 12th busiest transshipment port and the12th busiest container port in the world.[2][3]

TheKlang Royal City Council orMajlis Bandaraya Diraja Klang exercises jurisdiction for a majority of theKlang District while theShah Alam City Council exercises some jurisdiction over the east of Klang District, north ofPetaling District and the other parts ofSelangor State includingShah Alam itself.

As of 2010, the Klang City has a total population of 240,016 (10,445 in the city centre), while the population of Klang District is 842,146, and the population of all towns managed by Klang Municipal Council is 744,062, making it Selangor's second largest city.[4]

Etymology

[edit]

Klang may have taken its name from theKlang River which runs through the city. The entire geographical area in the immediate vicinity of the river, which begins at Kuala Lumpur and runs west all the way toPort Klang, is known as theKlang Valley.

One popular theory on the origin of the name is that it is derived from theMon–Khmer wordKlong,[5] which may mean a canal or waterway.[5] Alternatively, it has also been argued that it means "warehouses", from the Malay wordKilang – in the old days, it was full of warehouses (kilang currently means "factory").[6]

Klang was also once known as Pengkalan Batu meaning "stone jetty".[7]

Unlike most other place names in Malaysia, the Chinese name for Klang (Chinese:巴生;pinyin:Bāshēng) is neither a direct transcription nor translation of the Malay place name, but likely a transcription of another Malay wordPasang, referring to the rising tides around the Klang Valley.[8]

History

[edit]
TheKlang Bell, dated 200 BC–200 AD

The royal city of Klang has been a site of human settlement since prehistoric times.Bronze Age drums, axes and other artefacts have been found in the vicinity of the town and within the town itself. A bronzebell dating from the 2nd century BC was found in Klang and is now in theBritish Museum.[9][10][11] Also found in or near Klang are iron tools called "tulang mawas" ("ape bones") and a bronze drum.[12][13] Commanding the approaches to the tin-rich Klang Valley, Klang has always been of key strategic importance. It was mentioned as a dependency of other states as early as the 11th century.[14] Klang was also mentioned in the 14th century literary workNagarakretagama dated to theMajapahit Empire, and the Klang River was marked and named on the earliest maritime charts of Chinese AdmiralCheng Ho, who visited Malacca from 1409 to 1433.[15]

Klang was under the control of theMalacca Sultanate in the 15th century. The celebratedTun Perak, Malacca's greatestBendahara, came from Klang and became its territorial chief. According to theMalay Annals, the people of Klang overthrew the local chief orpenghulu and asked the Sultan of MalaccaMuzaffar Shah to appoint another, and Tun Perak was then appointed the leader. Klang was known as a producer of tin; according toManuel Godinho de Erédia, it produced one hundredbares of tin a year when the Portuguese occupied Malacca.[12] Klang however remained in Malay hands after the fall ofMelaka to thePortuguese in 1511, and was controlled by theSultan of Johor-Riau. In the 17th century, the Bugis began to settle in the coastal region of Selangor including Klang, and theSelangor sultanate was created in the 1766, which then controlled Klang.[16][17]

In the 19th century, the importance of Klang greatly increased by the rapid expansion oftin mining as a result of the increased demand for tin from the West. The desire to control the Klang Valley led directly to theKlang War (also called the Selangor Civil War) of 1867–1874 when Raja Mahdi fought to regain what he considered his birthright as territorial chief against Raja Abdullah.[18] During the Klang War, in 1868, the seat of power was moved to Bandar Temasya,Kuala Langat,[15] and then toJugra which became the royal capital of Selangor.[19]

Klang however did not lose its importance. In 1874, Selangor accepted a BritishResident who would "advise" the Sultan, and Klang became the capital of British colonial administration for Selangor from 1875 until 1880 when the capital city was moved to Kuala Lumpur due to the growth of Kuala Lumpur from tin-mining.[20][21] Today Klang is no longer State capital or the main seat of the ruler, but it remains the headquarters of the District to which it gives it name.

Until the construction of Port Swettenham (now known asPort Klang) in 1901, Klang remained the chief outlet for Selangor's tin, and its position was enhanced by the completion of the Klang Valley railway to Bukit Kuda in 1886, which was then connected to Klang itself via a rail bridge, the Connaught Bridge, completed in 1890.[22] In the 1890s its growth was further stimulated by the development of the district into the State' leading producer of coffee, and later rubber. In 1903, the royal seat was moved back to Klang when it became the official seat ofSultan Sulaiman (Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Shah).[citation needed]

In May 1890, a local authority, known as Klang Health Board, was established to administer Klang town. The official boundary of Klang was first defined in 1895.[23] The first road bridge over the Klang River connecting the two parts of the town, the Belfield Bridge, was constructed in 1908.[24] In 1926 the health boards of Klang and Port Swettenham were merged, and in 1945 the local authority was renamed Klang Town Board.[23] In 1954, the Town Board became the Klang Town Council after alocal election was set up to select its members in accordance with the Local Government Election Ordinance of 1950. In 1963, thePort Klang Authority was created and it now administers three Port Klang areas: Northport,Southpoint, andWest Port.[25]

In 1971, the Klang District Council, which incorporated the nearby townships ofKapar andMeru as well as Port Klang, was formed. After undergoing a further reorganisation according to the Local Government Act of 1976 (Act 171), Klang District Council was upgraded to Klang Municipal Council (KMC) on 1 January 1977 and Klang Royal City Council (KRCC) beginning 5 February 2024.[23] From 1974 to 1977, Klang was the state capital city of Selangor before the seat of government shifted to Shah Alam in 1977.[15]

Districts

[edit]

Klang is divided into North Klang and South Klang, which are separated by the Klang River. North Klang is divided into three sub-districts which areKapar (Located at the north of North Klang), Rantau Panjang (situated at the west of North Klang) andMeru (at the east of North Klang).

Klang North used to be the main commercial centre of Klang, but since 2008, more residential and commercial areas as well as government offices are being developed in Klang South.[citation needed] Most major government and private health care facilities are also located at Klang South. Hence, this area tends to be busier and becomes the centre of social and recreational activities after office hours and during the weekends.[citation needed] This is triggered by the rapid growth of new and modern townships such asBandar Botanic,Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Taman Sentosa Perdana, Taman Sri Andalas, Taman Bayu Perdana, Taman Sentosa,Glenmarie Cove, Kota Bayuemas etc. all located within Klang South.[citation needed]

At the Klang North side, some of the older and established residential areas includeBerkeley Garden, Taman Eng Ann, Taman Klang Utama,Bandar Baru Klang and so forth. Newer townships include Bandar Bukit Raja, Aman Perdana andKlang Sentral.

Malaysia's busiest port,Port Klang was previously named Port Swettenham until 1972 when it was renamed Port Klang. Port Klang is located at Klang South.

Economy

[edit]

Initially, Bukit Kuda port (located at 12.5 miles away from Klang river mouth) was established as a port that connect to mining areas within Kuala Lumpur. Later, a railway line was built connecting Bukit Kuda with Kuala Lumpur. However, the Bukit Kuda port was found to be unsuitable.[citation needed] Therefore, the town of Klang which is located at three miles nearer to the river mouth than Bukti Kuda, was chosen to become the major port. A bridge was constructed across the Klang river and railway was connected to Klang in August 1890.[citation needed] Klang port received huge amount of traffic in the following years, which later the authorities decided to extend the railway line to the mouth of the river where new port named "Port Swettenham" would be constructed in 1901. However, Port Swettenham was plaqued with malaria infections which affected coolies and port staff greatly, causing a delay in unloading cargoes from the ships. Sir Malcom Watson, a district surgeon in Klang solved the malaria problem in 1903 by clearing the forests and undergrowth and construct a drainage system at the same time.[26]

Klang gradually became the main manufacturing centre for Malaya after the end ofWorld War I. The first person who set up a factory in Klang was a millionaire from Singapore named Tan Kah Kee. His factory produced canned pineapples. The setting up of his factory stimulated the pineapple plantations around Klang. After Tan went bankrupt in 1934, Goh Hock Huat, one of the pineapple producers, decided to set up his own pineapple canning factory. More factories opened in Klang due to its proximity to Port Swettenham. In the following years, factories producing rubber products and oil factory producing products from groundnuts were set up with skills and machineries imported from Singapore.[26]

The economy of Klang is closely linked with that the greaterKlang Valley conurbation which is the most densely populated, urbanised and industrialised region of Malaysia.[27] There is a wide range of industries within the Klang municipality, major industrial areas may be found inBukit Raja,Kapar,Meru, Taman Klang Utama and Sungai Buloh,Pulau Indah,Teluk Gong and others.[28] Rubber used to be an important part of the economy of the region, but from the 1970s onwards, many rubber plantations have switched topalm oil, and were then converted again for urban development and infrastructure use.[29][30]

Port Klang forms an important part of the economy of Klang. It is home to about 95 shipping companies and agents, 300 custom brokers, 25 container storage centres, as well as more than 70 freight and transport companies.[31] It handled almost 50% of Malaysia's sea-borne container trade in 2013.[32] ThePort Klang Free Zone was established in 2004 to transform Port Klang into a regional distribution hub as well as a trade and logistics centre.[33]

The port is part of the21st Century Maritime Silk Road that runs from the Chinese coast toSingapore, towards the southern tip ofIndia toMombasa, from there through the Red Sea via theSuez Canal to the Mediterranean, there to the Upper Adriatic region to the northern Italian hub ofTrieste with its connections toCentral Europe and theNorth Sea.[34][35][36][37]

Crime

[edit]

There are a number of criminal gangs operating in Klang, and gang violence is not uncommon.[41][42] Among the Chinese community, there are the Ang Bin Hoeytriad gangs such as Gang 21 which operates in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley.[43] There are also Gang 24,[44] Gang 36 and others,[45] and their members are often Indians.[46] Due to economic development and changes in the industry, many rubber estates where Indian plantation workers used to live and work were closed, and this is thought to have contributed to a rise of gangsterism amongst the displaced and economically-deprived Indians.[47][48] It is thought that the Indians originally worked for Chinese gang leaders but they now dominate many of these criminal organisations.[46]
