A BRIEF HISTORY
15
1881
TThe fire and subsequent flood brought great
damage to Kuala Lumpur as most of its building
d
sstructures were made of wood or thatch.
Consequently, Kapitan Yap decided to rebuild
C
tthe town using bricks and tiles. He established
Kuala Lumpurs first school and a shelter for the
homeless, then licensed brothels, casinos and
ssaloon bars.
1896
Kuala Lumpur was made the capital in 1896 when the Federated Malay States (FMS)
were incorporated with Swettenham, the Resident-General, in charge. The evolution of
Kuala Lumpur to the classic epitome of British colonialism and the oppression of British
imperialism caused local nationalists to burn with their own dreams of independence.
1942
The Japanese occupied Kuala Lumpur for 44 months, from January 11, 1942 to August
15, 1945 and it almost halted the economy of Kuala Lumpur.
1945
General Seishiro Itagaki, the General of Japanese Military Administratives, surrendered
to the British in Kuala Lumpur after Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan were attacked
with atomic bombs causing massive destruction on both the major cities. After the fall
of Japanese, the British returned to Kuala Lumpur.
1946
The British officially declared Malayan Union administrate Malaya and Kuala Lumpur in
Kings House on 1 April 1946.
1957
At the stroke of midnight on 31 August 1957, the first Malayan flag was raised on the
grounds of Merdeka Square and Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime
Minister, declared independence in Stadium Merdeka.
1972
Kuala Lumpur was conferred the city status on February 1, 1972.
1974
After being detached from its mother state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur was made into a
unit of its own called the Federal Territory.
INTRODUCTION
1857
Kuala Lumpur had its humble beginning
ning when it was founded in 1857. When Raja
Abdullah, a member of the Selangorr
royal family, opened up part of the
e
Klang Valley for tin prospectors, a
e
new settlement started as Chinese
prospectors went up the Klang Riverr
g
and began prospecting in the Ampang
d
area, which was then jungle. It attracted
et up shops at the confluence of the Klang and
merchants and traders to come and set
Gombak rivers. Thus, the town was born.
1880
In view of its strategic location, Kuala Lumpur was made the capital of Selangor,
replacing Klang.

Kuala Lumpur or KL, as the locals like it, is Malaysias capital and her largest city.
From the citys central business district, the conurbation spreads out to include
developing suburbs in the greater KL area, which is also known as the Klang

Special Feature :
Health, Beauty & Spa
Kuala Lumpur offers a wide range of wellness treatments, from skin care,
foot reflexology and head massages to manicure/ pedicure, giving locals
and travellers a chance to pamper themselves. Other than the mentioned
services, slimming treatment is also available in health & beauty centres
for those who wants a better body shape.
Wellness treatments provided by beauty spas in Kuala Lumpur ranges from
a variety of international and local traditions. Some of these techniques,
such as Thai of Swedish massage, are well known around the world, while
others, like traditional Malay urut (massage), are unlikely to be found
outside of Malaysia.
Although the overall purpose of a beauty centre or spa visit is to make
you feel better, many of the treatments go far beyond mere pampering.
Indeed, the best facilities offer a holistic approach, with the aim of
providing a long-term boost to your mental and bodily wellbeing.
Living a city life can be quite taxing, so it is important for locals to relax
themselves with a visit to the beauty centre or spa to improve beauty, destress and renew their mind and body. As for travellers, it is a chance to
rejuvenate after hours of shopping or visits to places of interest.
Most travellers to Kuala Lumpur stay in three main areas Bukit Bintang,
Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) and Chinatown and thats where the
majority of the citys best spas and beauty centres are located. Many of
these spas and beauty centres are based in 5-star hotels or upmarket
shopping centres, making them easy to find. While a convenient location
is a big plus, Kuala Lumpur also has some less central spas and beauty
centres, which are worth searching out.

FOOD COURT
Food Court
Dining in KL would not be complete, of course if you do not try what this city is
famous for its street food at food court. Food is available at almost every corner
of KLs roads, plus plenty of food bazaars, night markets and hawker centres.
However , with the weather being what it is, hawker centres and food courts in
KLs shopping malls play their much- appreciated part. In these comfortable air
conditioned spaces, you can enjoy almost all examples of street food in hygienic
conditions.
