Amirudin added that the Greater Klang Valley has the potential to become a leading economic hub in Southeast Asia and could rank among the top five metropolises in Asia.
“This achievement would undoubtedly enhance Selangor's prosperity a
nd benefit its people.
“A metropolis is a city with more than one million residents, functioning as a centre for administration, business, trade, industry, and high technology,” he said.
