State: Selangor
Selangor is a very urbanised state and is rapidly growing due to modernisation. Nevertheless, you can still find villages in Selangor that adapt the kampung lifestyle which balances the hustle and bustle of city life. In my opinion, our best memories come from experiences. So, to promote all that Selangor has to offer, we have to focus on creating opportunities for people to have experiences that will lead to good memories.
