Banting (GPS: 2.81209, 101.50255), (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: #19975;津; Pinying: Wànjīn) is the main town in Kuala Langat district, on the southern part of Selangor. The town is perhaps best known for being the hometown of the Sidek family of badminton players. Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad and Jalan Sultan Alam Shah are the two main roads through Banting. The main shopping centre in Banting is a local Econsave hypermarket.
The main part of the town is located on the west side of Sungai Langat. Jambatan Banting goes across the river, taking Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad across the river to connect the main part of Banting to Telok Datok, its neighbourhood which is on an oxbow meander of Sungai Langat.
For tourists, there isn't much to see within Banting town itself. If you like the beach, you should head to Pantai Morib, while if you like history, visit the Old Royal Town of Jugra.
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.
