Selangor, population 4.1 million) is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is bordered by Perak to the north, Pahang to the east, Negri Sembilan to the south and the Strait of Malacca to the west. It totally surrounds the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
The name Selangor is said to come from the Malay word selangau, 'a fly' (Musca vicina), most probably due to the abundance of flies in the marshes along the Selangor River in the state's north-west.
Selangor is also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Ehsan ("Abode of Sincerity").
The state is a hereditary constitutional monarchy and has been ruled since 2001 by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah. The Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) is currently Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Khir bin Toyo, of the Barisan Nasional coalition, who is a dentist.
Selangor is Malaysia's most populous state, largely thanks to the rapid economic growth taking place there, mostly propelled by industry, and the growth of the Kuala Lumpur conurbation (known as the Klang Valley, due to its sprawl within the floodplain of Klang River).
The state capital is Shah Alam city (a Persian name) and the royal capital is Klang town. A third major urban centre is Petaling Jaya which was recently declared a city on 20 June 2006. Hence, Selangor is one of only two Malaysian states hosting more than one city; the other being Sarawak.
On 27 August 2005, Selangor was officially declared the first developed state in Malaysia. Selangor is also the richest state in Malaysia.
The population in the year 2000 was 3,947,527. Selangor's ethnic composition in 1995 was: Malay (1,270,170 or 44%), Chinese (852,425 or 35%), Indian (426,213 or 18%), Others (273,179).
