Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, LTSAAS airport codes|SZB|WMSA (formerly Subang International Airport), often called Subang Airport, is an airport located in Subang, Malaysia, and primarily serves general aviation and some turboprop domestic flights. Although plans existed to convert the airport into a low-cost carrier hub, the change was opposed by Subang Jaya residents. Until the 1998 opening of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport served as Kuala Lumpur's primary airport. Subang Airport is currently the hubs of Berjaya Air and Firefly.
History

Toward the end of service, the airport suffered at least two major fires that forced traffic to be diverted to other airports. By the end of 1997, Subang Airport handled 15.8 million passengers
In July 2002, AirAsia began flying from KLIA, and in 2004, AirAsia considered utilising the airport as a primary hub in Malaysia. However, the plan was rejected and the Malaysian government now plans to turn the airport into an international conference centre.Fact|date=April 2007. Since Firefly started operations in the airport, AirAsia has been lobbying the government to allow AirAsia to use Subang Airport. As of December 2007, the government still maintains its policy of only allowing general aviation and turbo-prop flights out of Subang Airport.Currently

Kuala Lumpur Makan-Makan Tour (Chinese)
The distinctive allure of Chinese food is its extensive menu. Typical Chinese cuisine is also much kinder to tourists’ taste buds since it usually tends to be less spicy than most other Malaysian food. More importantly Chinese cuisine dominates a huge part of Malaysian lifestyle, with the streets of Kuala Lumpur teeming with hawker stalls, restaurants and ‘kopitiams’ – shop-lot restaurants bedecked with meager furnishings – specializing in Chinese food.
The KL Makan-Makan Tour: Chinese Menu is a fantastic way to taste true Chinese cuisine. On your first day in the heart of the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur, you will be taken to a bustling Chinese restaurant away from the city. Tourists will get the chance to sample a distinctively Chinese meal of Fish, Prawns, Thai Style Chicken, Crispy Fried Egg, Steamed Bean curd, Butter Kailan (Chinese broccoli stir-fried with butter) and Kangkong Belachan (water spinach with spicy shrimp paste) – all served with white rice.
The next day lunch will consist of Yong Tau Foo – a Malaysian Chinese soup dish with Hakka origins that consists of soy bean cakes, ladies fingers, bitter gourd and a few other delectable titbits’. You will then get to visit the illustrious Petronas Twin Towers for a bout of sight-seeing and shopping before dinner. Another Chinese favourite will be served later that night as tourists will get a taste of scrumptious ‘Bak Kut Teh’ – literally meaning Pork Bone Tea – a broth consisting of cloves, garlic, star anise and other herbs boiled with succulent, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs with additional ingredients like tofu, mushrooms, vegetables and green onions and served with steamed rice. This dish is a nation-wide phenomenon that is especially popular – and ever-present – in the Klang district.
Chinese Menu:
- Muar Restaurant with Chinese Tea (min 2 paxs)

Kuala Lumpur – Shah Alam
| Destination | One Way | Return | Pickup |
| Shah Alam | RM 80.00 | Rm 230 | RM 90 |
The majestic "Blue Mosque"Shah Alam was formerly a satelite town before it became the Selangor's state capital. It is about 20km from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Being away from the city centre, Shah Alam is more of a residential area than a busy township - it is considered the centrepoint between Kuala Lumpur and the big towns of Klang and Port Klang.
Shah Alam is kind of divided into 2 sections : the residential area and the industrial zone. I am staying around the light industrial area. Besides being famous for its "Blue Mosque", Shah Alam is famous for the many roundabouts found here. Many claimed that they are actually lost because there are too many roundabouts......
Many feel that Shah Alam is a resident place consisting of mostly the Malays, which is untrue. It is a home for multi races of Malays, Chinese and Indian.
Shah Alam has its own beauty - it has many parks and lakes and the quietness of the place and traffic free roads are the envies of the other townships like Petaling Jaya (PJ), Klang and Kajang. Living here is practically hassle free. Many government offices are situated in Shah Alam - the State Secretariat Building and the Immigration Office. It has many medium-sized malls and a couple of big hotels. Currently three giant hypermarkets are located here : Makro, Giant and Tesco. The authorities are debating on whether to open up a cinema .
The attractions in Shah Alam are :-
1) The Blue Mosque - Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque
2) Stadium/Go Kart tracks
3) Shah Alam Lake Gardens
4) State Monument and State Secretariat Building
5) Dataran Shah Alam - Shah Alam Square
6) Museum Shah Alam
7) Agricultural Park - Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam
Shah Alam Malaysia Agriculture Park Located in Shah Alam, Malaysia's first agriculture park was opened to the public since 1986. The 1,295 hectare of tropical rain forest and agriculture park is one of the largest in the world. Visitors come here to explore the many agricultural plants that are grown here. Paddy field is found here, so are cocoa trees, oil palm, rubber trees, coffee, coconut and other fruit trees.
There are many gardens in this park amongst which are the Spice Garden, Ornamental Garden, Orchid Garden, Cactus Garden, Bamboo Garden and Mushroom Garden. Bicycles are available for rent at the park while free bus service is provided to ferry visitors to various spots within the park. If you like fishing, there are lakes within the park that you can fish for a fee of RM2 per fishing rod.
Four Season HouseThe four season house at the Shah Alam Agriculture Park is one of the top attraction here. The entrance fee is RM3 per adult (12 years and above) and RM1 per child (4 to 11 years old). Take the coach provided by the park and ask the driver to drop you at the entrance to the four season house. You will probably spend 15 to 20 minutes here.
Winter season garden is exhibited from December to February.
Spring season garden is exhibited from March to May.
Summer season garden is exhibited from June to August.
Autumn season garden is exhibited from September to November.
Kuala Lumpur – Klang
| Destination | One Way | Return | Pickup |
| Klang | RM 120.00 | RM 310 | RM 130 |
Klang, also spelled Kelang, is the royal town of Selangor, on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia before Shah Alam. The town is named after the Klang River, which cuts the town in half, and sits at the western end of the Klang Valley.
Most travel brochures do not list Klang as one of the "must visit" places in the Klang Valley as it has no architecture wonders like those of Kuala Lumpur nor the natural attractions of Kuala Selangor. Klang is more widely known for its mouth-watering dishes instead of its sights.
However, in the town (where bloody civil wars were fought and tin was traded in the past), Klang offers some sites and buildings that are of historical value.
* Tugu Keris (Kris Monument)
- A towering silver Keris (the Malay crooked dagger) welcomes visitors who come to Klang via the Federal Highway. It can be seen on the left hand side of the highway as you pass the Sungai Rasau toll plaza. The monument was erected to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Sultan of Selangor's intallation in 1985. The Keris was chosen since it depicts power, strength and unity. Entry is free of charge.* Kota Raja Mahadi (Raja Mahadi Fort) - The fort, or what remains of it, is situated at Bukit Kota in Klang. The fort was built by Raja Mahadi as a defensive fortification against Raja Abdullah (his rival in a power struggle for the control of Klang district). The fort was used as a vantage point to look out for enemy ships that sailed through to Pangkalan Batu. Later on, the fort fell into the hands of Tengku Kudin who was sent by the Sultan of Selangor to take revenge on Raja Mahadi because the latter failed to pay his dues to the Sultan. The bloody battle lasted six months and ended with the retreat of Raja Mahadi. These days, the fort serves as an impressive landmark next to the Klang Municipal Hall.
* Royal Palace - The Sultan of Selangor's royal palace can be viewed at Jalan Istana. However, visitors are not allowed into the grounds.
* Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) - Go sightseeing to this island located around 30 minutes boat ride from the Klang Jetty (accessible via KTM; stop at Port Klang station). Pay a small fee for the speed boat ride. On the island, you can see a self sustaining island with a school,bank,fire station,police station and etc, mostly inhabited by the Chinese.Used to be a smuggling center,it now produces small food items like dried squid or fish paste. Seafood can also be found fresh from here as the people here mostly work as fishermen. A half day trip to see the simple life of the locals.
Buy
The Little India enclave along Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang is the biggest Indian street in Malaysia. Fierce competition among shop owners translate into cheaper prices for consumers, and people are literally spoilt for choice amidst the rows of shops on the left and right sides of the road, with stalls spilling onto the sidewalks and backlanes. Myriads of items such as saris, colorful accessories such as bangles and necklaces, textiles, stainless steel pots, Indian delicacies, gold and flowers are sold here.
During Deepavali, the street is transformed into a colorful spectacle of light and sound befitting the "festival of light". Most shop owners pool their resources together to decorate the street and the walkways of their shops. The street will be decorated weeks before the actual festival. The atmosphere is eletrifying and traffic will be clogged up as thousands of people make their way from as far as Singapore to make their purchases. Some shop owners will also invite shoppers into their shops to sample delicacies and to celebrate the festival together.
It is easy to be caught up in the throngs of people walking in the narrow walkways, but a little awareness and precaution should be practiced for your own safety. Police patrol the street during the festive season to avoid unwanted incidents and to control traffic flow. Moreover, the Klang main police headquarters is just a stone's throw away from the street. So this area is quite safe for tourists.
Parking in this area is very limited, so it is advisable to take public transport to Little India. The bus station is located at the beginning (or the end to some people) of the street. Take the Metrobus from the junction facing Pasar Seni, Kuala Lumpur, This bus goes all the way to the Klang bus station. Alternatively, you can take the train from KL Sentral and alight at Klang station. Indian Street is only ten minutes away from the train station.

Klang is the original home of bak kut teh ("pork rib tea"), the Hokkien-style dish of pork ribs cooked in a strong, dark herbal stock, served with tea on the side. This is considered a breakfast dish here and family get-togethers on Sundays for bak kut teh are particularly popular. There are many famous shops in Klang, and if you ask two locals for the best you'll probably get three answers, but here's a sampling.
- The Old Stall, Jalan Stesen Satu (west end of street next to the parking lot). This shop needs no signboard nor menu, and in fact people can't even agree on its name, but this doesn't stop it from packing in the crowds — piles of pork bones spill out into the adjacent parking lot! This has a respectable claim to being Klang's oldest bak kut teh shop and their dark broth is smooth, strong and supremely tasty. Open only from 5 AM to 11 AM daily, so get there early. RM5/7 for a small/large bowl, 50 sen for rice, RM2 for a pot of tea, and there's nothing else on the menu, so feel free to bring your own side dishes.
- Seng Huat Bak Kut Teh, Jalan Sultan (half under the bridge). Another very popular option which has now been franchised, but this is the original. The menu is a bit larger and the ambience is fractionally more upscale than the nearby Old Stall, but prices are actually a little cheaper - RM15 for two. Tip: order your bak kut teh without the pig intestines if you consider pig intestines disgusting as pig intestines are not canon bak kut teh.However, they are actually quite delicious.
- Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh, Taman Rasnah (Next to the flyover just right after the Batu Tiga tollgate). Near Jaya Jusco Bukit Raja, behind Menara Trend office tower. Corner lot. It shifted to this location from its original place at the village of Teluk Pulai.
- Yeoh's Bak Kut Teh, Jalan Batu Tiga Lama (off the main KL-Klang highway), tel. +60-3-33417551,. Better known by locals as the "Hokkien Association" building (Bangunan Persatuan Hokkien).
- Sheng Li Bak Kut Teh (Victory Bak Kut Teh), Jalan Cox Off Jalan Batu Tiga (near the old Klang bus station), tel. +60-12-3020702, or +60-16-2876120. Business hour: 0800 - 1200 (daily); 1800 - 2200 (daily, except Friday)
