History of Kelana Jaya

Kelana Jaya was originally called Sea Port. It was renamed to Kelana Jaya in 1983, with the proclamation made by then Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sallahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, who renamed the area after his uncle Tengku Kelana Jaya Putra. The proclamation was made when His Royal Highness was officiating the Pilgrimage Complex (Kompleks Jemaah Haji) at Seri Setia.

Kelana Jaya is believed to have been named after Tengku Musa Eddin (1893-1955)¹, the eldest son of Sultan Alaeddin. Born in Jugra in 1893, he was made Crown Prince or Tengku Mahkota. However the throne eluded him, and went instead to Tengku Alam Shah, because the British Resident Theodore Samuel Adams blocked his ascend, alleging misbehaviour on the part of Tengku Musa Eddin, whom he accused of being extravagant. Tengku Musa Eddin was given the title of Tengku Kelana Jaya Putera. In addition to the Petaling Jaya neighbourhood of Kelana Jaya, Jalan Tengku Kelana in Klang was also named after him.

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.
