I understand dat many international airport are also distance away from city capital, just like Taoyuan IA, Incheon IA. But they dun tipu ppl said it's Taipei IA, Seoul IA, even the distance travelled is far shorter than KL from Sepang.

Naming it KLIA is the biggest geographical mistake. It's is located 45km away from KL, even after Putrajaya/Cyberjaya, at Sepang district and govern under MPSepang. Naming it KLIA sounds like this airport oso under the federal terrorrity. Look like our BN gov once again steal our precious Selangor land secretly.

It should rename to Sepang Internatonal Airport. Therefore, like Taoyuan and Incheon, Sepang can developed to become another aero-metropolitan instead of hiding behind the shade of KL.  hmm.gif

its not named for geographical purpose, rather ease of recognition...
mamakthirs idea was to put malaysia in the world map....
every major projects were named in a way it can be recognized easily...

KL Tower, Petronas Twin Tower, KLIA all named in a way people can easily relate it to malaysia...
ada kefahaman ?

There is nothing wrong in naming it KLIA as it serves primarily KL.

Almost all who goes to KL fly into KLIA.

Don't get Tengku Adnan started, later he fed up changing the road name he wants to change the name of KLIA instead. Obviously now Tun Mahathir International Airport is out of consideration.

I thought Washington capital airport isn't In Washington DC. And taipei airport isn't in taipei proper?

Also all Pipu who stay in selangor all Tak malu mengaku They stay in KL to their kampong folks. If TS want Pipu to be proud of selangor then TS must change selangor(Ian)??? Mentality like that of johorian retarded mentality.

in terms of distance, sepang is so far from kl. if u say that ampang or cheras is part of greater kl then u would be correct.

People from klang valley say they are from KL when they go other state is because other state pipu all think selangor=KL. Last time I living in KK I say I'm from klang, but when they introduce me to other people, they will say I am from KL.

Not really. U may be different either because u are a local or u stay in klang. Klang Pipu had a tendencies to say they from klang. Probably because klang predated KL by 400 years.

but other maybe are ashamed or are more proud by being associated with KL. Also kidzania in Damansara are called kidzania KL while 101 city mall are marketed as putrajaya even if it's isn't in putrajaya.

Also it's quite demeaning to say kampong folks don't know selangor or selangor=KL.everyone are tough at school that KL is a federal territory.

I'm not saying that they don't know, I'm sure if they are given a geography test on it they will get the correct answer, but in day to day life, it's a lot easier to refer the entire klang valley as kl instead of saying the specific area. If you tell someone from sabah that you are from damansara, they will have no idea where that is, but if you say KL, they will at least know which part of malaysia you are from.

yes my point exactly. I am sure u have the ability to look at a map. cheras and ampang are literally on the outskirts of kl.

but sepang is 40 km away and not even in Selangor, so why do u consider sepang to part of greater kl ?
