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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
