Klebang Explained

Klebang is a suburb of Malacca City and a mukim of Melaka Tengah District in the Malaysian state of Malacca.^{[1] [2]} Located along the Strait of Malacca, the town is rapidly developing due to a series of ongoing land reclamation projects in and around the town since the late 1990s. However, these projects have negative impacts on the town's coastal environment and the livelihood of the fishermen.^{[3] [4] [5]}
