Bukit malawati

Being a public holiday, we went up bukit malawati in Kuala Selangor. They have tractor pulled trams, but we chose to walk up after seeing people rush to the seats when the trams arrive.
There are 2 museums up there, selangor history and traditional games. They close at 530pm, so we only managed the history museum.
On the top of the hill was the light house, built in 1907. The royal mausoleum is there, too. And there were monkeys, monkeys and monkeys. These are called silverhair monkeys, they're black, and are brown as babies. Men on motorbikes bearing nuts and vegetables make a quick buck selling them to visitors to feed the monkeys. I don't think they're supposed to be fed, but i guess ignorance is bliss. Just the risk of rabies, thats all.
Do you know how selangor got it's name? There was a warrior who bathed in the river. A fly, called langau, landed on his nose. He tried to hit it and whupped his nose, and in a flash of humility, realized that a great warrior like him had been defeated by a fly. Thus the place became known as 'se langau'.
Oh well. We can only speculate.
The museum does provide interesting nuggets like this, but the visitors there skim through the artifacts, barely pausing to read. Most are there to enjoy the airconditioning!
Have a great new year break, everyone!
