Selangor

Selangor also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Ehsan, or "Abode of Sincerity" is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is bordered by Perak to the north, Pahang to the east, Negeri Sembilan to the south and the Strait of Malacca to the west. It surrounds the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, both of which were once under Selangor's territorial sovereignty.
The state capital is Shah Alam, however the first city in Selangor, and the royal capital is Klang. Another major urban centre is Petaling Jaya which was awarded city status on 20 June 2006. Selangor is one of only two Malaysian states with more than one city; the other is Sarawak. Selangor has the largest city in Malaysia and it is growing rapidly due to modernisation in the Klang Valley.
The state of Selangor has the largest economy in Malaysia in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) with RM 128.815 billion (roughly USD 42 billion) in 2010〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GDP by State and Kind of Economic Activity for the year 2010 at Constant Price 2000 )〕 making up 23% of the total GDP of Malaysia. This state is also the most developed in Malaysia with good infrastructure such as highways and transport. The state also has the largest population in Malaysia, with a high standard of living and the state's poverty rate is the lowest in the country.
== Etymology ==
The origin of the name ''Selangor'' is lost in history, although some sources claim the name to have come from the Malay word ''selangau'', 'a large fly', most probably due to the abundance of flies in the marshes along the Selangor River in the state's northwest.
A more plausible theory claims the state's name is derived from the term ''Selang Ur'' meaning "land of the straits" (according to this theory, ''selang'' means "straits" in the Malay language and ''ur'' means "town" in Tamil.) Aur (which sounds similar to ur) also means river in Malay. Hence, Selangor may mean 'river straits'. A major problem with this hypothesis is that the word "selang" does not in fact mean "strait" in Malay, not even in obsolete usage according to the Kamus Dewan;〔("selang": entry at Kamus Dewan )〕 the proper word for "strait" is ''selat''.
Another possible origin of the name is from combination of the words Sela and Ngor (sela means 'a gap' and ngor means 'bamboo'). It may be possible that the banks of the Selangor River was full of bamboo groves in the distant past. However bamboo do not grow well in the marshy soil of the lower reaches of the river. It is also possible that the word Selangor is an Orang Asli term as some rivers have Orang Asli names, e.g. Damansara river.
Available written records such as the Malay Annals refers to Selangor as ''Samarlingga'' during the rule of ''Seri Paduka Maharaja'' in Singapore (1301–1400) whereas some Chinese maps from the Ming Dynasty used by the Admiral Zheng He during his voyages of expedition between 1405 to 1433 refers to the Klang River and ''Selangor Darat'' (or inland Selangor).〔Kuala Selangor District Council: (Latar Belakang Kuala Selangor (Malay) ) .
