Kepong and Bandar Menjalara area guide

About Kepong and Bandar Menjalara

Yap Ah Loy opened Kepong as a tin-mining district in the late 1870s, and a market town grew up at the 7th mile of Kepong road around 1886. The 1931 census counted 1,831 people, enough for town status. In the 1950s, during the Emergency, Jinjang next door was set up as a new village. Kepong grew into a large working and middle-class suburb in the 1970s and 1980s.

Bandar Menjalara, south-west of Kepong, was the Edinburgh Estate until it was built up in the 1980s. It is named after Cik Menjalara, mother of Tunku Abdul Rahman. Taman Ehsan and Desa Jaya are often called Kepong but are in Selangor, as is Selayang to the north. This page covers the KL side only.

Household income

The old Kepong town, Taman Kepong, Kepong Baru and Jinjang are polling districts of the Kepong parliament seat, where the median household earned RM 10,570 a month in 2024 (RM 10,412 in 2022). Bandar Menjalara is in the Segambut seat, with a median of RM 15,867, but that figure is lifted by Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and TTDI in the same seat. The KL median was RM 10,802.

NAPIC counts all of Kuala Lumpur as one district, so these are the sales in the 22 buildings of this area that we matched by name in NAPIC Open Sales Data (JPPH). psf = price ÷ floor area of the unit. Under 10 sales shows "Too few sales". Recent months are not complete yet.
