It is loosely translated into English as the " Cape of Corals" It is located in the district of Kuala Selangor about 15 kilometers away from the town of Kuala Selangor. The town of Tanjung Karang is divided by Sungai Tengi river at the middle and connected with a bridge. The word Tanjung is also sometimes spelled as Tanjong but still refers to the same place.
