Jenjarom

Jenjarom (Chinese: ไปๅ˜‰้š†) is a town located in the Kuala Langat District of Selangor state in Malaysia. Around 95% of the 30,000 residents are Hokkien Chinese and the Hokkien dialect is the main language used locally (although Malaysian Mandarin as well as the national language, Bahasa Malaysia are widely spoken by its multi-ethnic residents from three main ethnicities acting as a lingua franca). The town also administered by the Zones 9, 10 (Chinese) and 6 (Malay) of the Kuala Langat Municipal Council.

The majority of the town's Hokkien population trace their roots to the Fujianese counties of Yongchun, Anxi, Nan'an and Dehua. Other residents are mostly native ethnic Malays of Javanese, Minang, Banjarese and Bugis descent, fellow ethnic Chinese of Hakka or Teochew descent, with a small Indian community of both predominantly Hindu Tamils and Punjabi Sikhs.
