About Shah Alam, Malaysia
The rapid development of Shah Alam and its increasingly significant importance has led to the promotion of its status as a city on 10 October 2000. This declaration was completed by YAB Dato’ Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo, the 13th Menteri Besar of Selangor. Shah Alam, which is administered by the Local Authority of the Shah Alam Municipal Council since 1978, automatically gains the status of the Shah Alam City Council. The population density is predicted to reach 450,000 people by 2010 as a result of the migration of people from all over the country looking for job opportunities in addition to the increase in the number of births.
