Quotes

"Selangor has a lot to offer. Batu Caves, that's in Selangor, Templer's Park just to name some. And did you know there's a royal museum in Klang?" Elizabeth asks pointedly, at which I shake my head. See! Nobody knows about it. Everybody always goes to KL. The first point of entry into the country is in Selangor, courtesy of the KLIA. Many tourists who make a stopover can walk around but they choose to stay in the airport. Why? Look at Singapore. They make it easy for transit travelers to visit their country – so long as they have their boarding pass they can get around no problem." - 2 April 2008 [1]
