IN its heyday, Rawang was one of the heartlands of the now defunct tin mining industry in Malaysia.
Rubber and oil palm plantations also featured prominently in the landscape around this satellite town not too far from Kuala Lumpur.
In 1894, Malaya’s first electric generator was installed in Rawang, mainly to serve the needs of British tin mining companies.
It was also the first town in Malaya to have street lights and a railway station (now demolished) with lamps and fans.
The town is home to the first cement factory in Malaya, Rawang Works, launched by the then Associated Pan Malayan Cement Company in 1953.
