Taman Melawati

Taman Melawati is an affluent, self-contained town located in Ulu Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. Although the township's postcode is 53100, which gives it a Federal Territory postal address, it is actually in the Gombak constituency of Selangor, administered by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ).

Accessibility

This town is located along MRR 2. It is linked to the city centre via Jalan Pahang, as well as AKLEH (via Ampang), while the DUKE and LPT are located nearby.

Shopping and attractions

An upscale eight storey shopping mall named Melawati Mall, jointly developed by Sime Darby and CapitaLand, opened its doors to the public in July 2017. It houses over 620,000 square feet of retail space and is anchored by Village Grocer, DAISO, GSC Cinemas and Fitness First.[2]

The Malaysian Institute of Art is located here.

There is a private hospital, Damai Service Hospital.

The National Zoo of Malaysia (Zoo Negara) is nearby. One of the hills in this town, Bukit Tabur, is a popular hiking spot while the main entrance of the Klang Gates Dam is found on a hill in this town. There are also a basketball court and a football field at Taman Hill View.

Public schools

The International School of Kuala Lumpur (Elementary Campus), a private day school, is also located here.

Vigilantism

The town first experienced this problem in early 2015. After a stray of robberies within the small community the police seemed powerless to stop these crimes from being carried out. A group known as "Blood Brothers" were seen taking matters into their own hands. The group soon started going through the streets at night in an effort to stop the robberies. After a month or so they apprehended the robbers, who were later discovered to be members of the Gang 77. The after effects of this also led to the capture of their leader, which was confirmed by the police in 2017.[3]

gollark: At last, I have managed to read my ebooks on a non-Amazon reader and it only took installing Calibre, installing the DeDRM plugin, copying over the folder on my tablet's SD card to my laptop via MTP, importing that, finding out that it recognized the metadata fine but could not actually view the contents, trawling the internet for somewhat dubious old copies of Kindle for PC, installing that in Wine, frantically turning off "automatically update" options before it did something, downloading my books, deregistering old devices because apparently I have a limited amount of devices available per book, downloading the ones which complained, figuring out where the Kindle for PC thing actually saved old books to, running the DeDRM DRM key finding thing, finding that that, not very unexpectedly, didn't work with a Wine install, installing Python 2 in Wine, running the DRM key finding script within the not-really-Windows-install, importing the key into the plugin, and then importing all the book files.
