Bestari Jaya

Bestari Jaya is a town and a mukim in Kuala Selangor District, Selangor, Malaysia. Kuang is a town in Gombak District, Selangor, Malaysia. Its fundamental significance in older times was the starting of the railway branch to Batu Arang from the mainline of Malayan Railways. "Batang Berjuntai" manner a dangling branch in Malay. There was once a railway line connecting Batang Berjuntai with Batu Arang and onwards to the mainline of Malayan Railways at Kuang.

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad or Malayan Railways Limited is the main rail operator in Peninsular Malaysia. The railway gadget dates again to the British colonial generation, when it became first constructed to move tin. The line among the town and Batu Arang turned into dismantled via the Japanese for the duration of World War II and by no means reconstructed. In 2007 the call Batang Berjuntai turned into renamed "Bestari Jaya" notwithstanding local resistance, as a person in authority rather mistakenly felt that "batang berjuntai" had phallic connotations.

In reality the call referred to a literal "dangling branch" that was seen there whilst the metropolis become first mounted; it became named through the resident British administrator. Many locals hold to use the antique call, and outsiders blind to the name change are frequently harassed with the aid of the new signage.
