The KLIA Mosque is officially known as Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad. It was named after the late Sultan Sir Abdul Samad ibni Almarhum Raja Abdullah (1804-1898), the fourth ruler of Selangor, under whose reign Kuala Lumpur was established and instruments of Selangor sovereignty introduced.

Sultan Abdul Samad passed after after a reign of 41 years, in which time he has fathered 12 children - six princes and six princesses - with two wives. He outlived his Crown Prince Raja Muda Musa, who passed away in 1884, enabling his eldest grandson, Sulaiman Shah Musa, to assume the throne as Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa (1863-1938), the fifth Sultan of Selangor.

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.
