Tanjung Karang paddy fields...

"Successful people always have two things on their lips, silence and a smile. Smile to solve problems and silence to avoid problems..."

The name Tanjung Karang is loosely translated into English as the "Cape of Corals".

Tanjong Karang is a district in Kuala Selangor.  Tanjong Karang town is divided by the Sungai Tengi at the middle but connected with a bridge. The local Chinese minority lives in the urban and seaside area, while most Malays live in rural areas and perform agricultural activities, particularly rice cultivation.

There is a large canal that starts from Tanjong Karang which crossed but merged using watergate to Sungai Tengi. The canal ends in the district of Sabak Bernam. It was first built during the colonial era and is often called by the locals as Bangkenal. Its function is to provide enough water to irrigate the rice crops and is also used by a water supply company to provide treated water and as a place for freshwater fish farming. In the past, this canal is used to transport timber.

There are myths about a giant snake found during the construction of this canal.
