THE day started splendid and early; maybe a small too early for a United Federation of Travel Agents’ Association (UFTAA) association delegates.

The state mosque of Selangor, a largest in a country, stands by a Raja Lumu Lake in Shah Alam. It boasts 4 minarets and a blue and china architecture is a largest eremite architecture in a world.
As a train drew to a stop outward a Royal Gallery, a classical colonial building loomed over us. The Sultan Suleiman Building is one building that has many tales to tell.
