Kuala Selangor Lighthouse (GPS: 3.3412, 101.24498) is a lighthouse at the top of Bukit Malawati in Kuala Selangor. The lighthouse is 83 meters tall, and stands at an elevation of 27 meters. It was built by the British in 1907 and became operational in 1910 as one of the Straits Settlements Lighthouses.

The Kuala Selangor Lighthouse aids navigation for ships passing through the Straits of Malacca near the mouth of Sungai Selangor. It serves to inform ships that they are passing the mouth of the river, from which ships may be coming out.

The Kuala Selangor Lighthouse was originally called Altingsburg Lighthouse, after the Dutch governor who was in charged of the area.

I saw this "thing" beside the Kuala Selangor Lighthouse. I think it is a buoy that is placed in the sea. (7 July, 2016)

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
