Klebang

Klebang is a suburb of Malacca City and a mukim of Melaka Tengah District in the Malaysian state of Malacca. It lies along the Strait of Malacca and has been developing rapidly because of a series of land reclamation projects in and around the town since the late 1990s. Those projects have had negative effects on the coastal environment and on the livelihood of local fishermen. Attractions include 1Malaysia Square, a town square near Klebang Beach that was officiated by the sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, in February 2012, and Klebang Beach, which faces the Strait of Malacca at the end of the Klebang Peninsula. There is also a Submarine Museum housed in a decommissioned submarine, and the islet of Upeh Island nearby is a landing site for hawksbill turtles.
