Bukit Malawati is located in selangor, Selangor Malaysia.

Malawati hill position is quite

strategic because it is located at Selangor River which overlooks the Straits of Malacca. The
early Kuala Selangor population was from seafarers living with fishing. They live along the
riverbank of Selangor about 3 miles from Selangor kuala to the south. Their head consists of a
bugy woman who has the character of love and affection and is well acquainted with the hearts
of her people. These traits that steal the attention of the population there will be no other
offspring of the bugish race although there are others who want to be the chief in Kuala
Selangor. The people in Kuala Selangor were then said to be working as fishermen and some
also engaged in melanun and robbed along the Sungai Selangor that they saved in a Gulf which
is now known as Teluk Penyamun.

Bukit Malawati was the administrative center and city of the sultanate of the 18th century to
the early 19th century. It was built during the time of Sultan Ibrahim in 1782-1826 against the
Dutch power. In 1784, the city was finally captured by the Dutch in conjunction with the name
Gebenor Altisburg, in conjunction with the Dutch General Gebenor. Malawati City was
gazetted as an old monument and a historic site on 8 december 1977. The Dutch success was
shortly because the Sultan had successfully recaptured this city from foreign powers as had
been done by the Sultan Ibrahim. On the night of 27 January, 1785, the Pahang and Permatang
people helped the Sultan recapture this city from the Dutch. In addition, Malawati's brick walls
also have their own historical value. The city is located in the open space and has been built by
the Malays while the second Sultan of Selangor's government aims to defend Selangor kuala
from the Dutch attack at that time.
