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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
