Indeed it is a small airport by modern standards but in the days of the Sultan (they don't have Raj in Malaysia) this airport served as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The runways are unchanged in length and width from the days of Independence in 1957, when De Havilland Comets and Bristol Britannias graced the Apron.
Today the thresholds are displaced several hundred metres to accomodate the increasing development of central Kuala Kuala Lumpur and its encroachment on the Glidepath.
The Royal Selangor Flying Club has been a resident of this "Airfield" since before independence and before the "Internationalisation Upgrade" to Airport.
Next time you are in KL please visit the Museum and then drive a kilometre through the Base and call in to the RSFC Club House. If you are lucky you could go for a short trip round the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower.
