Bestari Jaya (Batang Berjuntai)
Bestari Jaya (formerly Batang Berjuntai) is a town in Selangor, Malaysia. It is located in Kuala Selangor district. The Universiti Industri Selangor (UNISEL) is a state university to be located here.

"Batang Berjuntai" means a dangling branch in Malay. There used to be a railway line connecting Batang Berjuntai with Batu Arang and onwards to the mainline of Malayan Railways at Kuang. The line between the town and Batu Arang was dismantled by the Japanese during World War II and never reconstructed.

There used to be a railway line connecting the mainline of Malayan Railways at Kuang to Batu Arang, which was opened in 1915, and westwards to Batang Berjuntai which was opened in 1918. In 1971 Malayan Railways shut down the line and dismantled the tracks with introduction of more diesel locomotives into its fleet; up to that point Batu Arang was the only source of coal for its steam locomotives.

It is the location of a somewhat controversial development where Asia's largest incinerator is to be built, designed to reduce Kuala Lumpur's dependence on landfill as a means of waste management. In early 2005, a temporary injunction was issued, stopping work on the project, in response to a lawsuit by residents of Broga and the nearby Semenyih.

However, the injunction has since expired, and work has continued, much to the disappointment of the local residents. They complained that the project was started without consultation and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and fear for the health and environmental effects of the incinerator on their town.

There was an Orang Asli village on the hill previously, consisting mainly of the Temuan tribe. But today the village has been relocated to Desa Temuan, near Damansara Perdana. Their "Batin" (meaning leader in Temuan language) name is Kanau. 30 percent of Temuan here are Muslim, 20 percent are Christian and 50 percent are animists, believing in the power of nature.

Sited at a junction that leads to the bigger and relatively more developed Batang Berjuntai, Pekan Ijok is, in a sense, a 'cowboy town' with a main street lined with shops and small buildings on both sides.

This town is currently losing its prominence, especially the Klang Parade as there are newer towns in Klang. One location that is currently very popular is Bandar Bukit Tinggi, a new and modern town area in the south of Klang. Because of that, Klang Parade is struggling to get customers.

Pandamaran is essentially a Chinese New Village area, but it is served by excellent road connections and is one of the major industrial zones in the royal town of Klang.

Port Klang was originally known as Port Swettenham when it was founded under British colonial rule in 1893, after the then British Resident High Commissioner for the Malay State, Sir Frank Swettenham. Official opening of the port was on September 15, 1901, which developed as a new port after a study found that its coastal area had a harbor with deep anchorage, free from dangers and very suitable for wharves. Its development was accelerated further with the extension of a railway line from Kuala Lumpur to the new port.

Puchong is situated midway between the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's commercial capital, and Putrajaya, the administrative capital. Due to its location, Puchong is expected to witness further developments in the near future. Puchong already serves as a residential suburb for two cities, Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. New townships, such as Bandar Puchong Jaya, Pusat Bandar Puchong and Bandar Puteri Puchong, are sprouting from once-abandoned lands, ex-plantation land and cleared-forest areas, contributing to the population boom witnessed in recent years in Puchong. At an estimate, Puchong boasts a population of about 400,000 (the largest township is Puchong Jaya with a population of about 50,000).

It is also home to many prestigious housing areas, such as Sierramas and Valencia. Many people has the misconception that Sungai Buloh is the home of poor people. However land price in Sierramas can easily cost RM200 per sq feet. Sierramas is a famous area, home of many movie stars like Mr. Jeff Yong and Miss Denise Chew and Debbie Chew, designers like Sonny San, politicians e.g. Fong Chan Onn & Chua Soi Lek and rich businessmen. On 28 October 2002, Sierramas was awarded the FIABCI Award of Distinction for Residential Development. The award was presented by His Majesty Yang Di-Pertuan Agong XII Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Ibni Al-Marhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail.

Ulu Yam has some nice natural waterfalls (around 2-4). One of it has five stages, you can try to explore it and have fun. There are also three natural hot water pools (hot springs). They believe the natural hot water is good for your health.

Unfortunately Ulu Yam is infamous for its Rehabilitation Centre. To this camp are sent so-called apostates who convert to other faiths from Islam, here they have to undergo a 'programme'. This camp is run by Islamic authorities. The Shariah Courts can order the apostates to be detained for 100 days and they may be further detained if they donot 'repent'/'recant'. These so-called apostates donot have any redress in civil law
