The Battle for Klang 1866-1870 | Tin, Treachery and Tragedy at the Gateway to Selangor

On the banks of the Klang River, between 1866 and 1870, Selangor was torn apart by one of the bloodiest civil wars in its history. What began with the killing of a single youth in Kuala Lumpur spiraled into a brutal conflict of sieges, betrayals, and blockades. In this episode, 'The Battle for Klang: Tin, Treachery and Tragedy at the Gateway to Selangor', we uncover how rival chiefs and migrant Sumatran clans fought for mastery of a river valley that controlled the tin trade — the very source of Selangor’s wealth and power. Along the way, we encounter: • the grievances of Raja Mahdi and the rise of his revolt, • the Kedah prince who stood in his way, • how revenge determined friend and foe, and dictated the shifting fortunes of war, • the innovative artillery tactics used on both sides, • the extraordinary “floating forts” that turned the river into a battlefield, • and the ragtag force of mercenaries led by a French captain that tipped the balance. This is the story of how civil war reshaped Selangor — and how its outcome paved the way for British intervention throughout the Malay Peninsula.
