Malaysia/Selangor/Klang/Shah Alam

Shah Alam is the state capital of Selangor, Malaysia and situated within the Petaling District and a small portion of the neighbouring Klang District. It is located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of the country’s capital, Kuala Lumpur. Shah Alam replaced Kuala Lumpur as the capital city of the state of Selangor in 1978 due to Kuala Lumpur’s incorporation into a Federal Territory in 1974. Shah Alam was the first planned city in Malaysia after independence from Britain in 1957.

How to ReachEdit


By Air : The nearest major airport is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB / WMSA). This airport has international and domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is 16 km from the center of Shah Alam, Malaysia.

By Train : Shah Alam is about 20 km west of Kuala Lumpur and a part of the urban sprawl of Klang Valley. The KTM Komuter line from Kuala Lumpur to Klang stops in Shah Alam, but the station is not particularly conveniently located. The 2 stations which will be most convenient to get to the city center would be to stop by either at the Batu Tiga station or Shah Alam station which is located in Section 19. Particularly the Batu Tiga station is nearby Section 13.

By BuS : Shah Alam bus terminal is handling express busses to and from north and south. It is located at Jalan Jenulung Seksyen 17 Shah Alam next to Treatment and Rehabilitation Method Centre. There is no LRT station and the best way to get there are by taxis or intercity bus.

By Taxi : A taxi has to travel a long distance just to pick you up. Unless he is already in the area, one would be very hesitant to drive all the way in. Most people who stay in that area drive, so that would not be many taxis heading into that area.
On top of that, during peak hours and changing of shift, or rainy days, taxis can be scarce.
The larger radio taxi providers are Sunlight and Public Cab.

By Other : There are 5 different highways you can use to get to Shah Alam if you want to drive yourself:
1) Federal Highway
2) New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE)
3) Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS)
4) Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE)
5) North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE)
