Semenyih
Semenyih is a mukim in Hulu Langat District, Selangor, Malaysia
along the Kajang-Seremban road (highway 1). The meaning of the name
of the town is uncertain and it does not appear in any dictionary.
It was derived from the locals and is related to its past. According
to an oral story, it is based from a word in the Negeri Sembilan
dialect, meaning "hidden" - the standard Malay word for "hidden"
will be sembunyi.
The town is becoming less and less "hidden" as the Kuala Lumpur
conurbation (usually called the Klang Valley) expands. The town
shares its name with the Semenyih River, which is the main river
passing near the town. The catchment area of this river is an
important source of water for Kuala Lumpur and other parts of the
Klang Valley.
The surrounding area is quite hilly, the highest peak nearby being
Bukit Arang, 560 m (1838 ft) high. This makes the area home to
numerous scenic waterfalls. A more popular tourist attraction in the
town is the Ostrich Wonderland Show Farm. The town is rapidly
becoming more accessible, thanks to new highways (such as the
Kajang-Seremban Highway E21 and the Kajang SILK Highway E18 ), and
more attractive due to new development (including, for example, the
Malaysian campus of the University of Nottingham). This
transformation from town to metropolis is also reflected in the
growth in its population. The 15100 people recorded in the 1991
census had grown to over 45000 by 2000. This corresponds to an
annual growth rate of 12.9%, compared with the national average of
2.66% over the same period.
