Chronology of the History of Kuala Lumpur1857
Kuala Lumpur had its humble beginning when it was founded in 1857. When RajaAbdullah, a member of the Selangorroyal family, opened up part of the
Klang Valley for tin prospectors, anew settlement started as Chineseprospectors went up the Klang Riverand began prospecting in the Ampangarea, which was then jungle. It attractedmerchants and traders to come and set up shops at the conuence of the Klang andGombak rivers. Thus, the town was born.1880
In view of its strategic location, Kuala Lumpur was made the capital of Selangor,
replacing Klang.
1881
The re and subsequent ood brought greatdamage to Kuala Lumpur as most of its buildingstructures were made of wood or thatch.Consequently, Kapitan Yap decided to rebuildthe town using bricks and tiles. He establishedKuala Lumpurs rst school and a shelter for the
homeless, then licensed brothels, casinos andsaloon 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 ofKuala Lumpur to the classic epitome of British colonialism and the oppression of Britishimperialism 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 August15, 1945 and it almost halted the economy of Kuala Lumpur.1945
General Seishiro Itagaki, the General of Japanese Military Administratives, surrenderedto the British in Kuala Lumpur after Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan were attackedwith atomic bombs causing massive destruction on both the major cities. After the fallof Japanese, the British returned to Kuala Lumpur.1946
The British offi cially 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 rst Malayan ag was raised on thegrounds of Merdeka Square and Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the rst PrimeMinister, 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 aunit of its own called the Federal Territory.

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 KlangValley. As many as 1.8 million people comprising of indigenous Malays, Chineseand Indians call KL home. This showcase of the multicultural and multilingualMalaysian life is also a place where tradition and modernity stand next to eachother and herald the cosmopolitan nature of the city.
The Garden City of LightsAs heritage structures get a new lease of life with modified usage, KL retains itscharm through the preservation of pre-war and colonial buildings in the older
parts of the city. Though the British colonial style seems pervasive, the Malay,Chinese, Indian and Moorish stylesare prominent as well. Some of thosewhich reflect Moorish architecturecan be seen in the Sultan AbdulSamad Building, the old High Courtand Magistrates Court Building andthe Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.

MMalaysian Food is not one particular distinction of food but a culinarydiversity originating from its multi-ethnic population of Malay, Indian
and Chinese. There are also cuisines that have evolved from themeeting of cultures notably those of the Nyonya and Indian Muslims
communities. Western cuisines, especially Continental and Mediterranean fare, arealso available in the major cities. Indeed, Malaysia as a meeting place of both easternand western cultures has produced a most diverse culinary melting pot. A brief lookinto the past and how this multi-ethnic country came to be, is essential in order tocomprehend how such a cosmic array of food, has now come to be known all overthe world as Malaysian Food. Presented here are some of the various delicious andpopular dishes from this rainbow of gastronomic spectrum, with pictures from each
unique ethnic kitchen.

Today, people are combining a holiday to Malaysia with affordable dentalcare due to prices being too out of reach of many in European and NorthAmerican countries. Malaysia is a multiethnic nation which offers dentalsurgeries and English-speaking dentists, well-qualied to cater to all of your
dental needs, cosmetic or otherwise.
The neighboring countries of Malaysia, too, offer dental treatments but Malaysiais nevertheless a regional leader in dental surgery due to numerous clinics herethat provides dental care tailored to international patients. Although its mainappeal is the affordable prices, Malaysia offers modern clinics, latest treatmentsand up-to-date equipment.
Kuala Lumpur is the hub of dental care in Malaysia where hundreds of dentistspractice, but clinics serving dental tourists are also available in most major holidaydestinations such as Penang and Melaka. Sincemost dental procedures have a short recoveryperiod, tourists can combine the treatment witha holiday in this multicultural country.
Many dental clinics in Malaysia also help dentaltourists with their travel plans including ights,airport pickups, sightseeing and accommodation.
The appointments canbe arranged around theirvacation to suit their needs.
Malaysia is the idealdestination for dentaltourism in Asia.
