is a registered travel agency in Puchong, Selangor. The agency provides travel and tourism related
services on behalf of suppliers such as airlines, car rentals,
cruise lines, hotels and package tours in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Selangor
Selangor surrounds the capital city and is home to many city commuters who
commute to neighbouring Petaling Jaya or Kuala Lumpur (KL). Moving at a
slower pace, it is also touched by a regal atmosphere as Selangor is home to
the country's most influential sultan. His palace stands high on a hill in
the state capital of Shah Alam, which overlooks his neat and carefully
planned city.
Until just 25 years ago, what is now the state capital was little more than
a rubber and palm oil plantation. But in the late 70s, a massive building
programme spawned a well-developed infrastructure and a rapidly growing
population.
Rich in history and culture, it is home to spiritual landmarks like the
Batu
Caves and the very own
Blue Mosque. The
Batu
Caves are a focal point for
Malaysia's millions of Hindus. A shrine, located in a huge cave 15 km north
of KL, comes alive every January or February when up to a million devotees
flock to the shrine for the exhuberant and colourful holiday of
Thaipusam.
The Shah Alam mosque, nicknamed
Blue Mosque for its blue aluminum dome
covered in verses from the Quran, is Malaysia's largest mosque and can
accommodate 24,000 worshippers. Its four minarets are the world's tallest at
over 140 m.
