Shah Alam is known for its football games and being well spread out with residential “sections” as they are referred to here. It is a slightly sleepy city, with industrial presence dotted on the outskirts. Many tourists also come to visit the Blue Mosque which is somewhat an iconic landmark. You could say that this little city has much going on for it.

Originally known for its rubber and oil palm plantations, It was then granted its city status on 10th October 2000, and the then Menteri Besar set about to making it a Bandaraya Melayu or Malay City, showcasing the achievements of the Malays. It is the state capital of Selangor, located just next to the royal capital of Klang. A fun fact about the area is that Shah Alam was the first planned city in Malaysia after independence from Britain in 1957. Another fun fact is that Shah Alam has an abundance of roundabouts, which lead to the various sections in the area. Each section has roads referenced to a selected theme, eg Section 20s theme is “animals”.

The entire area of Shah Alam consists mainly of landed housing developments, with a sprinkle of high rises. Residential homes in Shah Alam are both freehold and leasehold.

For the sports enthusiast, Shah Alam has much to offer. The Shah Alam Stadium which is a regular host for major Malaysia football games, game nights usually see throngs of fans from all over Malaysia making their way here for the games.There is also an integrated sports complex known as Kompleks Sukan Shah Alam which houses the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre, a go kart track and also an Extreme Park.

Shah Alam is also home to industrial parks along its outskirts and several technological and vocational universities. Despite this, property prices in Shah Alam have always been on the affordable side, and many who seek middle-cost homes make their way to this city.

Shah Alam is well connected to other main cities in Klang Valley via a network of major highways. Public transport users are served by KTM Kommuter currently, but will have access to the Bandar Utama - Klang LRT line by 2024.

Shah Alam is served with many private clinics, four private hospitals, and one government hospital.

Shah Alam is perfect for families who want to make a life in the tranquility of the suburbs while being connected to the city.

Crime Rate

Crime Index is an estimation of overall level of crime in a given city or a country. We consider crime levels lower than 20 as very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as being low, crime levels between 40 and 60 as being moderate, crime levels between 60 and 80 as being high and finally crime levels higher than 80 as being very high.

Safety index is, on the other way, quite opposite of crime index. If the city has a high safety index, it is considered very safe.

Consumer Price Index

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) line shows an increment in prices of essential goods on a yearly basis, while the Percentage Changes line shows the level of changes in price increments over the years. For example, a dip in the CPI line may indicate a low level of price increment as compared to the previous year while a surge in CPI line shows a high level of price increment as compared to the previous year.

The above graph shows 1.644% of price changes in essential goods such as rice, meat and tobacco between the years 2011 and 2012, while increasing in difference to 2.093% in 2013. Prices of essential goods then increasing to 3.448% in the year 2014 while surging by 2.523% in 2015.

While the prices of essential goods have shown a variation in the Percentage Changes, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the other hand indicates a reality of ever increasing prices in essential goods with increments between the years 2011 - 2015 at 102.7 in 2011, 105.1 in 2012, 107.3 in 2013, 111.0 in 2014, 113.8 in 2015.

This is a representation of Selangor Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the year of 2011 - 2015
