MW/SW transmitting stations around Klang Valley

These are the MW/SW (medium wave/short wave) transmitting stations around Klang Valley that I know. All these transmitters are owned by Radio Televisyen Malaysia. The other MW/SW transmitting stations in Malaysia are at Sabah and Sarawak, relaying local stations which are airing on FM. Other MW/SW transmitting stations in Peninsular Malaysia have been removed and moved to FM. One example is Johor FM.

  • RTM Kajang (can be seen along Jalan Cheras, Cheras-Kajang Highway and Kajang Silk Highway, used mostly for RTM's shortwave simulcasts of some radio stations such as Klasik Nasional, Traxx FM and Asyik FM/Salam FM and Voice of Malaysia (RTM's overseas service); I am more familiar seeing this transmitting station)
  • RTM Jalan Haji Sirat, Klang (coordination according to Wikimapia: 3°4'49"N 101°26'8"E, can be seen while driving at the Lebuhraya Pintas Selat Klang Utara Baru (SHAPADU Highway) at KM 12 just before an R&R station, first time saw this station was in June 2013 and first thought it was used for maritime communication since it is located close to the port)
