WELL, ACTUALLY, BOTH KL AND SELANGOR. Cheras is actually in Hulu Langat, Selangor. Then on Feb 1, 1974, part of it was annexed to the Federal government to form part of the Federal Territory. Hence, half of Cheras is in Kuala Lumpur, under DBKL, while the other half is in Selangor, under the Kajang municipal council.
