The scenario and excess development from the Klang Valley, comprising the four districts in Selangor, that is, Petaling, Gombak, Hulu Langat and Wilayah Persekutuan, have led to development pressure in the south of Selangor, comprising the districts of Sepang and Kuala Langat. These two districts therefore may be combined form the Klang Valley 2 Region, if the development of the area is planned early and implemented in stages, taking into account Environmentally Sensitive Areas, the sustainable development concept, the potential in the Multimedia Super Corridor and the overspill of development from Putrajaya.

The spatial development concept, based on the “Multiple Strands Development Corridor” shows that the intensive and comprehensive development which occurred during the 8th MP, will continue in the 9th MP. The intensive development is due to the State Government’s decision that the high rate of economic growth must be maintained in Selangor in an effort to make the state developed and advanced.

The Klang Valley 2 Region Project is the State Government’s alternative to support the increasingly rapid development in the city. It covers the area of Sepang and Kuala Langat, and the existence of this project will indirectly lead to development of the rural areas as well as reducing the density of city population, which resulted from increasingly rapid and expanding development.

Within this timeframe, the State Government has no intention of developing new townships other than the Klang Valley 2, concentrating on the Morib-Kelanang Coastal area, Sepang Gold Coast, and the Kuala Langat Flood Mitigation Project. In addition, the State Government will cooperate with the Federal Government to increase the development potential in the Multimedia Super Corridor area and to exploit the potential arising from the excess development of KLIA and Cyberjaya in the Klang Valley 2.

Realising the importance of the Klang Valley 2 Region in its future development, the Selangor State Government has given special attention to synchronised all types of appropriate development without any subsequent negative effects. In relation thereto, the State Government on the 19th July 2005 had in principle considered and agreed to implement the proposal of the Klang Valley 2 Region, which covers the districts of Sepang and Kuala Langat, to be carried out by the administration of the State Government.

The Districts of Klang Valley 2 Region are governed by two Local Authorities, being:
