Earlier this year, before the movement control order (MCO) began on March 18, my friends and I visited Jugra in Kuala Langat, Selangor. Among the nine of us, some had never heard of Jugra before.

“It was never mentioned in our history textbooks, ” said one friend, when told that Jugra used to be the royal capital of Selangor in the late 1800s.
