SHAH ALAM, March 12 -- The Selangor-Japan Friendship Garden located next to Dataran Kemerdekaan Shah Alam is hoped to become a new landmark in Selangor and be able to attract local and foreign tourists to the state.
Shah Alam Mayor Datuk Haris Kasim said the garden, built at a cost of RM3.8 million, was completed last year but its opening was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Haris said the garden was built as an expression of appreciation to Japan which has remained as one of Selangor’s loyal and longest investors.
"We hope this garden will become a new focal point for tourists, especially from Japan and local visitors to check out the elements related to Selangor," he told reporters after opening the garden here today.
Formerly a part of the Tasik Timur area, Taman Tasik Shah Alam, he said the 2.42-hectare garden is now open to the public from 10 am to 7 pm daily and the admission is free.
