How much you know about the history of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia? The following questions may show whether you know much or little...
1. One day in 1857, a group of boats travelled up the winding Klang River. Their occupants got off at a confluence with another river. Who were they and name the other river?
2. Kuala Lumpur itself probably began in 1858 or 1859. Do you know the name of the founder of the village who also become its first Capitan China?
3. Some time afterwards, a Capitan China was appointed who made a great impact on the growth of Kuala Lumpur. A street in Kuala Lumpur is named after him. Give the name?
4. Who was the ruler of Selangor when Kuala Lumpur was founded?
5. Name the man who was called "Viceroy of Selangor" in those days. He came from Selangor - true or false?
give yourself the correct answer...
Some people believe that Raja Abdullah found KL and not Yap Ah Loy, since Raja Abdullah had already sent ppl to look for tin years before Yap Ah Loy arrived at the same site. He probably made it more prosperous.
