Klang:
Klang, formerly known as Kelang, is the royal capital of the state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is located within the Klang District in Klang Valley. It is located about 32 km to the west of Kuala Lumpur and 6 km east of Port Klang.
It was the civil capital of Selangor in an earlier era prior to the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and the current capital, Shah Alam. Port Klang, which is located in the Klang District, is the 13th busiest transshipment port and the 16th busiest container port in the world.
Klang is well known for its "Bak Kut Teh", a herbal soup that uses pork ribs and tenderloins. A kind of virus (J.E.) struck pigs in the late the 90's that affected pig farmers nationwide led to the creation of Chick Kut Teh, that substitutes chicken for pork as it is halal for consumption of Muslims.
