Manjung

Manjung was the later name for the Dindings coast of Perak. The northern shore belonged to the old Malay kingdom of Gangga Negara, while Klang controlled a river mouth leading to the tin-rich interior.

In 1365 the Nagarakretagama listed Klang among lands claimed as tributaries by Majapahit. The coast came under Malacca in the fifteenth century, when its bendahara Tun Perak began his career at Klang. After the Portuguese captured Malacca in 1511, the ports acknowledged Johor; Bugis settlers established Selangor around them in the eighteenth century.
