Cheras

Cheras extends across both the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Hulu Langat District in Selangor, forming a large residential area southeast of central Kuala Lumpur.

The area transformed from a small tin mining settlement of 500 residents into a major suburban district through extensive urban development and population growth.

The neighborhood derives its name from the Chinese term Jiāolài, reflecting the strong presence of Chinese residents who form the majority of the local population.

Multiple MRT stations on the Kajang Line, including Taman Midah and Taman Connaught, connect residents to different parts of Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas.

The area functions under two separate administrative bodies: Kuala Lumpur City Hall manages the western section while Kajang Municipal Council oversees the eastern portion.
