SHAH ALAM MAP

Shah Alam Industry

    The main plant of the Malaysian car manufacturer Proton is also located in Shah Alam. Shah Alam flourished as a growing settlement after the Proton car manufacturing plant was set up, which marked the beginning of the city as an industrial city. In fact, many of the city's streets are named after tools such as 'Jalan Gergaji' (Saw Road) and also named after professions such as 'Jalan Usahawan' (Entrepreneur Road) and 'Jalan Nelayan' (Fisherman Road) which hints at the growing stature of the city as an industrial hub of the state. The city was granted city status on 10 October 2000 with Dato' Haji Abu Sujak Haji Mahmud as the first City mayor
