Shah Alam Royal Mausoleum, Royal Islamic mausoleum in Selangor, Malaysia.
The Shah Alam Royal Mausoleum is a burial ground for the royal family of Selangor featuring traditional Islamic architectural forms and geometric patterns on walls and archways. The complex spans elevated terrain and includes multiple interconnected tomb chambers and courtyards.
The Shah Alam Royal Mausoleum is the royal burial ground of Selangor, located beside the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque in the state capital. Its graves record the state's recent history: Selangor's 12th Menteri Besar, Abu Hassan Omar (1997–2000), and its 14th, Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (2008–2014), lie here, as does Dato' Ishak Baharom, state Mufti from 1985 to 1997. Members of the Selangor, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan and Brunei royal houses are also interred, among them Raja Saidatul Ihsan, Paduka Bonda Raja Selangor, buried in 2011.
The mausoleum holds the graves of Selangor's royal family alongside state leaders: Dato' Ishak Baharom, the fifth state Mufti (1985–1997), and Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, the 14th Menteri Besar (2008–2014), lie here. Titles on the graves, such as Paduka Bonda Raja Selangor and Tengku Puan Panglima Besar, record each person's rank in the state and its neighbouring royal houses.
The mausoleum stands beside the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque in Shah Alam, the Selangor state capital, at coordinates 3.08274, 101.51848. Graves are grouped into royal family plots and a section for state leaders, so visitors can follow the two areas in turn. Dress modestly and keep voices low, since mourners and official ceremonies may be present.
Among the graves is that of Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, the 14th Menteri Besar of Selangor (2008–2014), who died on 31 July 2022. Tan Sri Abu Hassan Omar, the 12th Menteri Besar (1997–2000), is buried here too, as is Dato' Ishak Baharom, state Mufti from 1985 to 1997. The graves of state leaders lie in the same grounds as those of the royal family.
