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.
