A sense of mystery envelops this beautiful and incredibly well-preserved palace in the former royal town of Jugra in Selangor. It’s a thought further fuelled by the fact that visitors are advised to watch their words and actions within the grounds. Meanwhile, Muslim visitors are encouraged to give their greetings (salam) at the door before entering the premise.

Who are they greeting exactly? A Tourism Selangor official who accompanied us on the tour wouldn’t say.
