Shah Alamball

Shah Alamball or Greater Shah Alamball is the capital of Selangorball, Malaysiaball since 1978.
== History - Sejarah - سجاره ==
Malaysiaball grew rapidly after its independence in 1957 under its second Prime Minister of Malaysia, Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak Hussein. Shah Alamball was once known as Sungai Renggam and was noted for its rubber and oil palm estates. Later, the same area was identified as Batu Tiga prior to Malaysian independence, and has been a centre of rubber and palm oil trade for centuries. The Sungai Renggam Plantation was earmarked for the development of a township by the Selangor government in 1963, and under the recommendations of Vlado Antolic, a town planning advisor from the UNball, chose the present site strategically located between Kuala Lumpurball and Port Klangball.
Its current name was chosen by the then state Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, after his late father Sultan Alam Shah. Many other monuments, buildings and even a street are named after the late Sultan. Shah Alamball was opened in 1963 with the purpose of making it the new administrative centre of Selangor, replacing Kuala Lumpurball which was made a Federal Territory on 1 February 1974. With the consent of the Sultan, Shah Alamball was proclaimed the capital of Selangorball on 7 December 1978 with an initial area of 41.68 km2, and administered by a municipal council.

Through the Gazette Plan 1190, Shah Alam was extended to its present-day area of 293 km2.
=== City status - Status bandaraya - ستاتوس باندراي ===
Shah Alamball was granted city status on 10 October 2000 with Dato' Haji Abu Sujak Haji Mahmud as the first mayor. He recently served as deputy Menteri Besar or Deputy Chief Minister of Selangor.
