The news that MPK will become Selangor’s fourth city on Nov 23 has got residents and stakeholders excited.

Big changes ahead: The Klang Municipal Council headquarters in Jalan Perbandaran will soon sport a new name. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star

In 2008 during the tenure of Datuk Mislan Tugiu as MPK president, efforts to begin city status application and for the local council to be called Klang Royal City Council was approved by the state executive council. Last year, in a Selangor Royal Office Facebook post, Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah had decreed that it was time for Klang to become a city.

A significant factor that was often cited as a shortcoming in Klang’s application to become a city was the absence of a university. “It will help businesses like mine as more investments will mean better opportunities for Klang residents,” he said.“Public transport needs to be improved so that there will be fewer single-occupant vehicles and that in turn will reduce our carbon footprint,” she said.

Resident Sabrina Lim, 43, said that with city status, Klang should have better roads and a cleaner environment.
