Kuala Lumpur, this is where it all began. More than a hundred years ago, a group of Chinese tin miners and a few Malays set up camp here after traveling upriver all the way from Klang. Their objective? To look for tin. From here they track through thick jungles to reach Ampang where they found what they were looking for. Many died from malaria but tin was such a lucrative business, the setback was only temporary. In no time at all, Kuala Lumpur flourish although at that time, it was more like a frontier town.
