Living & investing in Selangor
Greater Kuala Lumpur's surrounding state — the Klang Valley townships where many expats and returning Malaysians actually settle once they want more space and value than the KL core: tech-hub Cyberjaya, school-rich Kota Damansara, walkable Damansara Utama, and university-driven Subang Jaya. Note Selangor's higher foreign-purchase threshold.
